A quick pre-release review of the T2

[JakedUp]

WiFi is a dongle, but I don't use WiFi. It will take one of your USB ports.

The specs are probably correct. I'm seeing available storage about 3.9g (out of 8), and available RAM at 885mb.

To be honest, I'm not sure if the box is 4K, as there was no setting for that (but I'm using a 1080P monitor).

Are we sure the specs listed in text on the site are absolutely correct? The PDF spec sheet seems to indicate that it has HDMI 2.0a, while the website lists HDMI 1.4a. Also, they advertise 4K HDR -- which is only possible with HDMI 2.0 -- so is this a true 4K HDR box?

Does anyone have any input on this?

The slow loading EPG is by far the worst part of this box! Loving every other aspect of it, but the EPG is just horrendous. It's obviously not an issue with the IPTV provider, because using the same service on a different IPTV app has no problems. From Reading comments across various forms on the internet, this sounds like a long-standing issue. I am surprised that they have not fixed this by now.

It is possible that they simply can not figure it out..

it could be
not the same group that released the dlhd

I mean that could be the case, but as others have pointed out in other threads, why can't they immediately start caching the channels in the current group at the current time slot, and once that is complete, start caching a few hours before, and a few hours ahead. There's no reason to grab the EPG data only when it's needed -- it's better to prefetch these kinds of assets.
