Bought one earlier but got error code 500 while it as returning to the site after PayPal. PayPal has been charged but no confirmation from wetek ie order number etc. Anyone know how good the customer services is are they handy to contact.

Never had to contact WeTek about an order but their representatives on the WeTek forums are very good. Might not do any harm posting on there too.

€69 including delivery not €79, where's the best guide for setting one up? I presume it runs kodi well?

Correct €69 delivered. Basically look over on the WeTek forums,lots of guides. All images for the WeTek play can be flashed on this. It comes with openelec preinstalled but you can install android or enigma2 images on it too. You can also flash images to micro SD card so you can run one OS along side another.

Thank you, I just conceded defeat and bought one for EUR70.
When Acqueos was running the group buys, I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger given this box comes with only a Amlogic S8726 processor & Mali 400 graphics processing unit .

I've being holding out for an Amlogic S912 & Mali 830 but my patience are shot! Perhaps for the main TV, I'll get a box with am Amlogic S912 when it's released, this box is perfect for a second TV for only EUR70. So, I'm happy out, thank you OP.

Can I ask the difference between the two options ?

One has a twin dvb-t2 tuner that can be used to pick up saorview with a aerial. The other, more popular option is the twin dvb-s2 option that can be used with a satellite dish. Everything else is the same between them.

Thank you, appreciate..
I was trying to figure it out and found this DVB-S2 (satellite) or DVB-T/T2/C (cable/terrestrial) but your reply made it easy to understand cheers

Bought one yesterday too!
Had the same error after PayPal but they got back within 20 mins after I sent them a message, must be a known issue.

tharmor

No sattelite dish here....will it be worth ?

And my tv already has soarview and freeview tuners....so wondering do I need this as i do not have a dish...?

RossieMan

It'd worth for kodi. But you'd be better off with something else. Its the tuner that's the real selling point.

Same problem here, cant complete order

So they don't have a device with both DVB-T and DVB-S tuners? Doesn't seem ideal for Irish users, you'd have to choose between getting RTE or BBC!

Nobody ever claimed it was a combo box. Although you can buy a usb terrestrial tuner for next to nothing and make it a triple tuner combo.

Interesting. Has anyone got a USB DVB-T dongle working for this or any other android device?

A simple Google will show you all. You can easily get the Irish channels without the need for another tuner. Not to be talked about here.

The m8s has the better hardware(RAM, flash memory, dual channel wifi) to be fair http://www.androidtvboxes.ie/product/m8s-android-tv-box-fully-loaded-quad-core-2gb-ram/ but at EUR120 is almost twice the cost AND has no satesatellite /terrestrial tuner.
So, at EUR70 this is a better deal.

You should get a PayPal receipt and when you contact wetwek they'll tell you the order has gone through.

Exactly what I did, I also gave up after the 3rd attempt...

They also contacted me, saying they had cancelled 2 orders and refunded, leaving 1 order in place..

That depends on where you live an dhow much work you want to do . I get Saorview + BBC , and channels 4's, ITV etc. on the DVB-T tuner. Worst case you use filmon for the UK channels or something more dodgy

Anyone that pays €120 for an M8S needs their head examined. These can be picked up with a mini keyboard for about €60. That shower over at androidtvboxes are a rip-off. Always have been.
