    mag 520

    Has anyone already purchased this? They tell me this is a good box.
    What are the reviews? How much better is it than the previous generation?

    I see this box is not yet available.
    Infomir has it on back order.

    Nothing special about the box that I can see.
    The Hardware specs show nothing new as per most of their other devices.
    The 4 GB Flash Memory is ok and not much more is needed, since this box can not load Apps/Apks or Players or etc (Kodi can't be loaded on it, as an example).
    It is a Linux box, but it does not have an Android operating system on it.

    Stored content can be played on the box thru the onboard media Player (stored movies in multiple formats can be played and same for music, or m3u Playlists can be played).

    The W3 designation would be the latest WiFi version.

    They show the DDR3 onboard, but the DDR4 is now the newest and bestest version available since about two years ago now.

    Amlogic S905X2 chipset ------ *nothing special here.
    Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53processor -- *nothing special here.
    RAM = 1 GB DDR3 ----------- *nothing special here.
    Flash memory = 4 GB eMMC --*not bad and will suffice.

    The Middleware onboard is the Ministra TV platform (not compatible with many IPTV services), which replaced the Stalker platform some while ago .

    Two USB ports on the box, which is enough, and again since it does not have an ANdroid OS then 2 ports is enough... but normally I like at least 3... they come in handy more often then not.

    Are they willing to pay for us to advertise their shops ?

    Truth is that even if that were so, we are not in a position to advertise a product which can not be used with the services we support here at iptvtalk

    but thnx all the same Holywoodd

    The Ministra platform is a replacement for the Stalker Middleware platform.
    The papiao services have not updated their systems to be compatible with the Ministra Middleware platform.
