Simple useage!,

Only using this as a way to play movies from a USB Hard Disk through the HDMI connection - but having the Android platform means that I can 'front-end' them all with a very good [free] catalogue program that makes it so much easier to organise & find films than just relying on the disk directory structure... ...not sure if I will use the internet facility much [I prefer a netbook or tablet], and as the box sits next to my broadband hub, also not using the WiFi but rather the RJ45 connector. All in all, does what I need and does it well...and possibility of further uses as well. Would agree that having a wireless mouse does make the setup easier, but not essential.

Make your TV Smart,

I have only had this unit for a few days so these are my first impressions. Not surprisingly, being a Chinese product, the manual, such as it is, is useless. Do not attempt to set up the unit with the remote control or you will give up in despair. Use a USB mouse (Corded or wireless) and get the networking sorted out. You can also use a USB keyboard but the on-board soft keyboard pops up when required so setting wireless network names and security is quite straightforward. Wifi to n standard is built in. Then you will find that you have a fairly decent Android computer providing web browsing and email as per any PC or laptop via your TV set. There are many apps installed but not particularly interesting to me and some are in Chinese. There appears to be access to the Google Apps library but I have not gone there yet. Apps for BBC I-player are not installed but the Google browser gives you access to any player you can get to and I have had all the UK players working. There are 3 USB ports, a HDMI port and the usual 3 audio/visual connectors plus an Ethernet port and a SD card slot – to show photos or play music. It may be possible to record to SD or USB devices but I have not explored this aspect. I consider this device superior to other Internet connector boxes that often restrict you to I-Player. Rating 4 star as the documentation is poor. JH 10/11/12
