Very sorry for my bad typing learning disabilities very sorry thanks so much for your valuable time!


Okay not to make this to long, but some background on me. I'm a electronics tec,pcs, networking

The works, but I stopped after the pentium 4! So all these phones, tablets, i catch on fast but are

New and confusing!

A month ago me and my wife decided to drop cable, that's the first time i ever saw or heard of

These boxes! I have a good feel of it after a week, but it's android version 5 something.

The only service that beats cable TV is hulu! On my box it opens you can scroll up down and

Menus, But I try to play TV shows the commercials work everything until the show starts

Buffering the little circle spins a second then a generic won't play no details about it!

The ebay top rated seller says people can use it? I can't, and have tried everything.

I downloaded a rom flash specifically for the box, spent hours on YouTube learning,

Plus flashed hundreds of pcs,but this box is missing the hidden reset button. I opened

It and looked. I have forced adobe flash and whatever codec i could find. I went to

Settings fushd cache etc, uninstalled a bunch of times, i factory wiped it,20 calls to

Hulu, I ran a direct network cable to the box. Beats me I'm confused, only other thing

I can think of is turning the security off on the router.

I thought the higher the version that android was the more things you can run

And run better? Unless it's like the 8 core computer where almost nothing is made

To use that many cores! I have no clue about this box, kodi seems useless beats me

How to use it! They list so many things that these boxes supposedly do, but I have

Yet to find anything. Netflix is okay, but not the everything known to mz5hulu

Right now its just a TV tablet, because I have no idea how to use it!

I would really appreciate your valuable time to help me out

The number one thing is what's up with hulu? Fresh machine notb the
 
Thank you both so much for your time and information!

Too late i have been reading how cheap they are, i thought a ebay top rated seller and $60 something

Box would be a safe bet. I hate new technology!

We are throwing cable out, holy crap 3 months looking researching Google, thought I found a decent

One. Hell I don't have a clue how to fun it lmao. This year I finally am getting good with tablets lol

I hate new cral, could I bother you for One more thing? What is this kodi thing? I can't seem to

To figure it out, today I read about zip packages that put features in kodi

If yall have the time and feel like it, would you mind giving me a short overview of kodi and if you

Feel like it the box,sorry until a month ago i never heard of streaming video or these boxes until

Someone one told how to cut cable TV. Wow that's allot of work when you don't have a

Clue about them.

Thanks so very much for your valuable time and reading my bad typing

Have a great weekend

Thanks for your help and advice its really helped.

I don't need hulu i finally found out why they brag a obout free everything!

In kodi under system it lists every program, and you can delete them, well i sorted out drivers. Then

8pm last night until 8 am today! I woke up at 4:30am then a long time putting just the movies and TV

In were going to look at them and delete what's junk. That's a lot of time and work and I still have the

Other categories to do! O well it's so worth it! Makes the box worth the money.


I'm sorry to bother you with one last question! I have a 1 terabyte hard drive, music, music videos

And movie's! I have a 60inch plasma TV it has usb plugs, it plays anything! Can I hook it up to

The TV box? For music, movies, and extra storage capacity. I'm reading the guide and I'm adhd

The more I have hands on while looking over instructions, high school sucked no hands ons.


Your help and kindness have been so very helpful more than you can know putting up with my

Horrible typing without any problems or comments, i never get that in forums,

Thank you all and the forum!


Have a great weekend
 
I have a 1 terabyte hard drive, music, music videos... Can I hook it up to The TV box?
Click to expand...

Yes, you can! :) The boxes will support USB drives up to TWO TBs!

By the way - after you have configured KODI just the way you like it BACK UP THOSE SETTINGS so when, er, sorry, if the box breaks or gets corrupted you can easily reinstall all your favorite settings and add-ons, etc.

Also - if you do decide to let your KODI collect all the artwork for your movies and music, etc, get this all stored on an external USB card or drive that you won't be unplugging. Same for backups... store this on an old USB stick or something similar.

This stuff takes a lot of room over time and can easily fill up the internal storage on your TV box.

Good luck.
 
Thanks


With kodi it takes forever, but holy cow i now found out where people say that you can get everything

Free there's enough TV shows movies i won't have watched half by the time I'm 80 lol


Thanks
