Received it yesterday, I have been testing for 2 days!!
Right out of the box: All Items came nice and clean. Kudos for the HDMI cable and small booklet with basic box information.
The Device: Small, thin and compact, I swear they are making them smaller and smaller every day, 2 USB ports and built ventilation areas so you will not have to worry ever about over heating. Again is so small it blends well with my entertainment center almost like its not there.
Remote Control: Reminds me of the control remote of my mag 254 (shape and keys location) I read from one of my colleagues about the lack of a page up/down but it will page up and down if you use quick use by hitting OK on remote, and using the up and down arrow on remote works . I plugged in my Rii I8 Mini 2.4Ghz Wireless Touchpad Keyboard With Mouse and had very little issues.
Set up: Easy weezy, for IPTV Server Dara has an easy step by step sticky in this section that would help if you have any issues. I did not. At the beginning I changed the resolution to 1080 and also followed the directions on calibrating the corners on the picture. The device automatically updated to new software which took a good 5-7 minutes. Adding apps on the market place was also done effortless.
Marketplace: There is an updated list here in this section, they are very generic with Facebook, Hulu, netflix, pandora, a few VPNs which is good. and 1 porn app!!Would love to see Movie25 & Icefilms in the future. Currently available is Kodi 16.1 RC at the time of this review!!
Laser's Take: One of my top 3 IPTV Devices, Let's start with channel changing is fast and I mean fast, another thing about this device is that if you change to a channel that is not working you do not have to wait for long periods of time, the device will show you a notice stating this channel cannot be displayed. Can you say wow!!! EPG button in the control is a must and a wonderful surprised to me. I click on that immediately!!I also forgot, once you are set up, everytime you turn in the device I will go straight to Live TV and the channel you last watched. Favorites saved so far and can be seem by pressing the Groups button!!Overall is an excellent device that delivers!!
PS. I found that a newer Kodi is available in the marketplace name SPMC 16.2 which I will try tomorrow!!
