Wetek Play 2 questions

-Al-

Ive been looking into android boxes that have a dvbs tuner and came across the sab hybrid and amiko a3. A lot of posts online seems to recommend the wetek over these so Im thinking of getting one but have a few questions that I cant seem to find solid answers to online.

I currently run a pi2 and kodi with the plexbmc addon and a few other iptv addons.

Can any owners of this tell me can it do the following on the native WeOS.

Watch and record live TV with a decent epg and run the following apps from the google play store
Plex
Netflix
RTE Player
All4
TV3 player


Basically I want an easy to use box that the family can operate without a handbook that they can switch between livetv the above apps. Also Im aware this cant be discussed but can oscam be run on this os or does that have be in openelec?

thanks

WeOS is android if that helps you any.
Those irish catchup apps will work but I find them crap on android tbh. All4 may be problematic though.
I think Netflixs will only play 1080 or better on a small number of devices, licensing or something.

This might help with the TV questions http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=263373

Think I read they improved the TV app since the first play - I've it- but I only tried android on it for a couple of hours.
Afaik oscam is available on android.

Play 1 is about as family friendly as Joseph fritzel
Though good reports recently on 2 in the android boxes thread

Lol, as long as it straight forward enough to use once configured we'll manage.

Thanks for link. Got some good info there. The custom android tv rom seems like it'll do exactly what I want. Nice epg, tv friendly versions of apps etc. Although as you say all4 may be an issue. Will do a bit more research but looks like I'll take the plunge.

If anyone has first hand knowledge of running the above would love to hear your feedback.

Netflix is a bit annoying to use with the default remote. The Air mouse is really slow on the Play 2.

I tend to use LibreElec on it more so than Android. Only boot into Android for Netflix.

Have you tried these remote friendly versions of the apps?
