This is the code for the 1GB box

Offical firmware V002 is out for the Minix. First impressions are excellent. Very stable and responsive. Only problem is with the MINIX xbmc as SMB network share doesn't work but they are trying to fix it. Their xbmc beta 3 still works so you can downgrade to that or just install another version. Fair play to MINIX for sorting out the problems as I wasn't one bit happy with the box for a long time. Not impressed spending all that money to be a beta tester but its now rock solid for me. Bought a Mele deluxe remote for it and its an excellent piece of kit.

I was thinking of buying the box mentioned previously the mxIII m82 on gearbest (I can't link it as i'm a new user) in this thread...would this be a good buy?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

I ordered on a Monday, shipped 8 days later on a Tuesday and said 7-15 days so early estimate could be this the end of this week or next. Depends on what your ordering and the delivery method you choose.

This box I guess? yes it is perfect for xbmc. Comes preloaded as well with XBMC. I done a small review a few pages back. Also comes with nice launcher to make it easier for the new user.

As per the title of the thread there is no discussion about stream etc on this thread.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise it was against the rules...I should of read rules properly...won't happen again!

Edit: don't want ask anything against rules

Was thinking of buying a MXIII from gearbest.com for 72 dollars. If I get hit for customs what would the charge be? Thanks

I ordered the same one and picked Netherlands post of shipping, I will hopefully have it by the end of this week and if I do i'll let you know what the customs charges are.

Usually 23% of value and 7euro An Post fee

I'm not sure if this is the right thread but here goes: Is there one of those Android Mini PCs on a stick (ideally with a built in HDMI connector on one end) that I could remove Android from and put OpenElec on? Bascially I'm looking for XBMC/Kodi on a stick. If it could be powered by a TV's usb port as well I'd be laughing but it's not a deal breaker!

Be careful buying from geekbuying and shipping DHL. I've just been hit with a charge of 31.20 because geekbuying failed to put the cost of shipping on the invoice.
Revenue tell DHL to charge vat on shipping at set rates per weight if there is no shipping cost is on invoice. This rate happens to be €68 for an mxiii box. I was told by DHL that revenue dose not allow them to amend the cost of shipping so its pointless sending my paypal invoice.

On the most recent shipping I got with DHL they had an email address on the back to send in information if you did not agree with the price assigned to it for VAT. I would guess if you send the link to the product they can only charge for VAT on it?

Normally thats the case but Ive been told by Dhl that customs will not allow them to amend the shipping rate regardless of documentation.

When buying from gearbest (getting the MX3 2gb version) - is it safer to expedited shipping or just go flat shipping through NL post?
