how would you know its an H?i forget. i need to check mine if it is. paid 155 incl shipping and that included the air mouse.

good support + quick shipping.

They have different processors and storage, i guess storage is the easiest way to see, the H version has 16gb vs 8gb for the non H version.

Think there is an Irish company selling it for approx 155 or so (might be no air mouse with that though)

There is a free air mouse included.

Beware:

No miracast support for Samsung/Sony devices
No netflix 1080p support
And something else I can't remember

6€ for courier delivery. They're in Waterford.

linky

106£ from amazon.

New to these but have used showbox and modro on my s5.
If in was using this to watch TV is the interface like a pc. Ie with ntl / sky you just click up or down or browse other listening while watching the channel before you change. Can these be set up the same way? Sorry if it's a stupid question but Mrs Brightkane wouldn't be convinced if it's not on at her Finget tips!
Cheers

Check the link above for the Irish website - it has contact details. I haven't bought (need to sell my ATV) but have been following the ad on Adverts and seller seems very accommodating and helpful - has even loaned units to people so they could check whether their broadband was up to streaming with it. Seems a good price and you have the reassurance of dealing with someone local who can be contacted by phone and email and has great reviews.

Got mine from amazon . About €120 for the H version. Came from China. No hassle at all. Love it.
Anybody who sees it wants one.

You get caught by customs?

That would have been hassle.

Checked the feedback on the seller on Amazon. Nobody has had any problem with customs.

Got mine delivered to parcel motel. They would have turned it away if there were fees.

There's the one I bought.

It's the H model with airmouse for £103

Curious about this product and had a look on adverts. Noticed the URL pointed to "audio-comm" and that they are based in Louth.

There is an audio-comm shop in Dundalk and assuming it is the same guy, I have known the owner and family for a long long time - bought my first mobile phone from him in 1997 if I am not mistaken

Probably goes without saying but he is a good guy.

This is not the case lad. He was forced to change his username on Adverts to Smart-TV Ireland due to the confusion. I contacted the Adverts admins on Audio-Comms' behalf.

I ordered the H version from Futeko on Thursday afternoon and it was delivered this morning. If you dont want to wait 3 or so weeks or cant be bothered with Parcel Motel I would highly recommend them! It was €150 inc delivery and the M1 airmouse.

I received the same service from them when I ordered my Minix Neo x7 last month.

I also picked up another one of these from Amazon for the x8 because I was so impressed with the one I got for the x7.

MugMugs · 28-07-2014 4:09pm

Folks, if you're getting a Neo, I have the remote and don't bother with it. I use an App downloaded from the Minix site for my remote and it's more user friendly than a wand / remote I find.

Supercell · 28-07-2014 4:14pm

The remote is utterly useless with it, agreed, However my wireless mouse works great with it. I got a Anker bluetooth keyboard on amazon, and between that and the mouse i'm sorted. Typing this using them and reading it on the telly, v weird!!

With four kids I dont fancy having to hand over my phone/device every time they want to change something on the Neo!

Sometimes a remote is a must! But you are right, the one that comes with the x7 is sh!te. I am looking forward to using the air mouse with the x8 as it looks slick in comparison to the blocky remotes!

Aye just realised this myself. Was about to post up that I was mistaken.

Only used it for a few minutes but it connected straight away and worked for what I was using it for.

Supercell · 28-07-2014 11:02pm

The weather widget alwas says cannot connect on the desktop, havent been able to find where to check the setttings for that, anyone else have that problem and know how to fix?

It's the same on mine but it doesn't bother me

From the MINIX forum

We have disabled the location service before we found an accurate solution.

Apologies for my ignorance but what is the difference between the items in the 2 links in the first post.

Just the price, the second one has an offer code that reduces it to €90ish.
Both are the NEO 8-H.

How would the MINIX compare to this?

A friend of mine bought one of these and had to return it ,had a lot of problems with it, now he has an x8 and is very happy with it.

frostypants · 18-08-2014 2:28pm

I bought the Xunity Eclipse. Fantastic piece of kit, best xbmc box I've owned. The remote is fantastic apart from it eating batteries pretty quickly though. It's a little pricey at e165 but I guess you get what you pay for. I have had a few Pi's and an Ouya as well.

Would you have a link to where you got the Xunity Exclipse for € 165. I can only find it for € 250.

Thanks.
