    OTA Updater

    While checking manually for updates via the ota update app on my T8 mini I get an error message "Invalid Rom (DroidBOX T-8-Mini-6.0)". Is it normal for this message to appear? Cheers Bruce

    Recent T8 Mini Update

    Installed the latest OTA update for the T8 Mini a couple of days ago and glad to say the location on the homescreen is working well. I get the correct information for my location which is Shanklin IOW that's pretty impressive. Thanks!

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    Thanks for your reply SilentlyScreaming. My box usually finds the correct time but it can take a little while, perhaps I just need to be more patient, I'm used to PC speeds I suppose. I'll try the clocksync app to see if it speeds things up but it's not a huge problem anyway. On the whole the...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    Well I've got a new T8 Mini and so far, after 1 week it seems pretty good. Like most of these Chinese boxes it does suffier from the occasional blip but overall it's good. The one thing I do find annoying is an issue with the time not always showing correctly after booting up, preventing use of...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    I contacted Droidbox directly yesterday and they confirmed to me that the Amazon seller is them by another name. It must have come from the UK as I ordered it on Monday and it arrived today. I'm away for a while, when I get back I'll start again and get one direct from Droidbox. I've been...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    Well sadly my story doesn't have a happy ending. I recieved the T8 Mini today and on opening the box I find that the aerial is loose/hanging out of it's housing and there's a screw or piece of plastic rattling around inside the box. It may be an easy fix but obviously opening it would invalidate...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    I'm looking forward to getting the T8 Mini. I've got a Q-box at the moment which is pretty goood for the price. It got me into the world of Kodi and wow that was a steep learning curve for me anyway. Now I understand it a lot more I want a decent experience which the Droidbox will give me. The...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    It seems that HDMediaRevolution are actually Droidbox. I contacted them this morning and they confirmed they are Droidbox. The address is the same as Droidbox's in London and their business address is not China it's Hong Kong. (I somehow misread it) It's all a bit confusing as on their website...

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    Thanks for replying. Can't cancel as it's on the way, think I'll return it without opening the box. This company have an iffy uk address and obviously based in China. I'll order from Droidbox, which is what I should have done in the first place.

    T8 Mini ordered from Amazon

    Hi I'm new to this forum so sorry if I've gone about asking this question in the wrong way. I've just ordered a T8 Mini from Amazon (possibly stupidly) it's sold by a company called HD Media Revolution. It's sold as a Droidbox, do you guys think I'll get the genuine thing and how will I be able...
