just to be sure i load 002 firmware first then the x7 kitkat ? for it to work

Hey A,
No...It's either one or the other...If you load the official 002 & then the kk x7...The kk x7 will overwrite the 002...You can try either one of them...If you're not happy with the one...You can always load the other.

Take care.

Dont know but i did 2 Minix boxes and had no issues at all. All went smooth for me updates were fast as well.
Minix are made well. Can tell by the weight of them.
I use the A2 remote and it worked for update. Is a great remote better than the factory remote by far.

Hey A,
Yup..Agreed...I ordered the A2 & expecting it on Monday.

Take care.
