Android TV Box E66 from EBay?
- Thread starter Antrax
- Start date
It is running on the VIA WM8710 chipset which is based on the ARM11 processor. I havent tried this box or chipset but I have tried one with the ARM1176JZF processor and it was painfully slow.
I would suggest either the Flexiview (ARM Cortex A8) or Geniatech (ARM Cortex A9) box. You will have a lot better luck with those.
It is kind of a piece of junk, I got one off of DealExtreme (foolishly) thinking that I may be able to replace my WDLXTV with it.
Problems:
I'm going to experiment with installing the new firmware when I get some more time to mess with it. I almost threw the unit away the other day, but figured I'd try the new firmware, then take it to the shooting range if it is still crap.
I have a feeling that these first generation AndroidTV boxes should be avoided, wait until the market matures a bit before putting down your cash.
Problems:
- ADB does not work with either USB port.
- Wifi kind of works, I had to enter my WPA password 3 times to get it to work. Had to reboot the unit several times before it would "see" my router which is less than 6-feet away from it.
- The file browser is a POS, you can enter an NFS share, but if you make a mistake you can't edit it .. or I can't figure out how to.
- The remote needs to be pointed at a particular angle to the receiver to work right.
- Google Market returns error code -101 when trying to install anything. Found a solution to fix it, which lead to the next error...
- Cannot remove your account even after entering a new one.
- Factory reset doesn't work, thus once you enter an account it is permanent.

hello I would like to know where I can get the firmware this box greetings.
The firmware is a huge PITA to download from the Chinese site and it is extremely slow. I was able to get a copy using a firefox addon called xthunder, don't worry I put it up on rapidshare.

The new firmware is about as crappy as the old firmware, possibly worse.

I bought one of these and I have a problem getting it recognized by my TV. I connected it to a Samsung TV but it did not show anything on the screen. I tried a Panasonic TV but no luck with that one either. I changed HDMI cables to provided component cables and I got the same results. Any solution?
