Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding Tv Box. Did anyone menage to conect external hard drive to the box? Also when I shut down the box it freezes each time I do it, I have to power it off and power on to restar again. I'm wondering if new software would solve the problem? But can't get the firmware anywhere. Would someone be able to send me link or email, please? Thanks

Hello. It seems that you are using HDD without external power supply.
Just used powered hub and connect to the USB2.0 input.

Have you used USB 2.0 Input when connecting HDD?
Could you try connect HDD via USB hub? I had troubles with HDD when connected it directly to the TV box.

You have firmware from 2011/12/07 but my firmware is 2011/11/10.
So you have more recent firmware.

But if problem persists you can update firmware for you own risk because if hardware is different from my box you will get a brick as a result.

Please try USB hub first.

I used to play around with the Rockchip RK2918 Android TV Box, named G-Box, which I posted a review on this board earlier.

http://androidforums.com/google-tv/...-gingerbread-really-plays-outputs-fullhd.html

It was a good and fast box, but with two main issues: too small fonts/icons for TV, and audio sync issue (a bit of issue). So I decided to sell it.



As I've not seen anyone really review Android TV Box equipped with Telechip 8902, so I decided to buy a no-name box from China at rather cheap price ($77, china post to Bangkok, Thailand). It took 16 days before it arrived at my house.

I know that Telechip CPU performance, according to its specification, seems poorer than other CPUs in the market now, but whether it can at least serves my purposes; and so far it is.


Brief spec:
Telechip TCC8902 720Mhz with builtin 2D/3D
RAM: 512MB
ROM: 2GB
With or without Wifi (I choose to order a builtin Wifi)
Android 2.3
Official Android Market (quite a new version)
Ports:
Front: IR receiver
Back: DC-in, HDMI, LAN (RJ-45), AV out (accept 3.5mm input jack)
Left side: 2xusb, sdcard slot
Accessories: hdmi cable, AV cable (3.5mm jack-to-yellow, red, white RCA jack), AC adapter (5v, 2A), and small remote control

This is my only one night of experience playing with the box. I'll keep on updating my feedback.

My overall first impression:

0. it is a tiny box! I wondered it is as small as Apple TV, very light


1. the IR remote operating angle is surprisingly good and responsive (no mouse control, just jump to next command with four directional keys (my distance from TV is 2.5m). Press the power button on remote will put the box into the standby mode; push it again to wake it up.


2. the text and icon displays are very clear and big, very suitable for viewing on TV. This is what I

Hello, I have more than 6 days trying to get my TV GOOGLE ANDROID.
From the first day did not work well, I have tried many methods and have had no luck.
I'm looking for firmware to install the program FWDN V 2.13 or with fastboot.
With the updates I could not solve anything.
The chip is the Telechip 8902, although I have not seen it, because it is cooler than cover the chips.
The drivers are only VTC v.5 accept myself I have also tried many firmwares of some tables and have received nothing.
Now fully brikeado is not working or anything, but if the power LED lights and I can put in debug mode, I managed to make a jumper on the back of the unit where there is a drawing of a button, it makes the bridge and starts and then retire the bridge and enter into recovery mode.
See if a colleague can help me out.
Thank you.
Greetings.

Hi!
I am running rooted Firmware 20111110.115111.
Is there a possibility to change the HDMI ouput resolution to anything with 50Hz?
My plasma tv (Philips HD-Ready) does not work with the 60Hz nor with Auto. I am also not able to connect it to a standard pc monitor with DVI.
So i guess when i change the res. to e.g. 1280x1024@50Hz it might work.

Any ideas?
Maybe any app which allows that?
 
Is there a repository for firmware for this device?
Is there a manufacturer web site where to find instructions?
thank you
