    Are virus' possible on the android boxes?

    Wouldn't worry about it. Sounds very much like a scam pop up. Not a virus just a browser window to try and scare you into ringing that number and handing over your credit card details. You did the right things

    Are virus' possible on the android boxes?

    Yes malware exists on android. Though it sounds very much like you had a spoof virus alert. You said you had a voice....any other windows pop up? What anti-virus do you run on the laptop

    T8-S Plus V 1.0

    Just run nova as homescreen. You'll lose the irritating "location" wheel and gain full customisation

    Switching box of

    My desktop pc rarely gets switched off either. My server, never. Two things kill chips, voltage spikes as I've mentioned... and heat. These boxes don't run hot by any means. Edit: the thing that will be damaged by a constant electricity supply is the power brick... 240v in to 5v (presumably, I...

    Not Enough Memory

    You must have an awful lot of junk on your box to have filled it up You don't store media in the main memory do you?

    Switching box of

    I don't understand why that is the case though? These boxes are little more than any other android phone or tablet other than having sturdier hardware and no inbuilt screen. My phone hasn't been switched off other than for firmware updates in the 7 months I've had it, the one before not in 2...

    Switching box of

    Please explain more? My apps update automatically.... kodi addons do as well (though I regularly clear it to refresh anyway) and the firmware isn't automatic regardless. Not sure what you have that needs a reboot to force an update?

    So why is Android better than OpenElec?

    System ....video....acceleration.... Tick and untick the 3 different codecs and see if playback improves.

    T8s plus

    Almost exactly the same as kodi on android side. On slower hardware it would provide a better kodi experience with higher performance on media as you don't have the android and back ground apps running On our t8-s+ it isn't really noticeable. If you only use your box for kodi, it's worth...

    Firmware update

    You would either need to contact the supplier of your box to get a firmware update....assuming there is any Or take a chance on flashing a community rom (no guarantees that anything will work with your hardware) You can install the newest release of kodi from Google play. Just uninstall the...

    Best VPN's - user experience

    Yep. Downside is that you have to fire up the app and choose a connection (2 clicks) before opening kodi (and anything else you want to run through the vpn). I'm sure this could be automated with taster or similar though

    Best VPN's - user experience

    I use ipvanish as an app on android side and with openvpn on the openelec side. Choose where you want to be and very good speeds

    NO SOUND!

    I intermittently have this problem too on t8-s plus. A reboot or 2 seems to sort it out (until next time). If it doesn't for you....go into android settings and ensure the media volume is up (if she's made it go to 0... mute on or off will stay silent). If that is all good... make sure audio...
