I have one and not really finding any problems with streaming content. Not using it overly much, but have watched a few football games online, and streaming from other boxes on the network with no issues. (Slight bit of buffering for a large BR rip over the network about half way thru the movie - had to pause and make tea but grand after that) I do have a decent wireless N router (eFibre) and it's not all that far from router to box so no real interference going on.

When I boot into recovery the Android man is on his back with red triangle and when I try to update from ext I get error msg above. I have tried Open Elec and same result. Box came flashed with the Mediaman ROM I have mentioned before and am currently unable to flash any ROM. Anyone got any helpful advice?

If for some reasons, your firmware is badly damaged, and can’t access the recovery mode, that may be the only way to unbrick your board.. Here’s how to proceed. (I haven’t tried myself). 1. Download amlogic_tools.rar 2. You may also want to install Moborobo to make sure you’ve got the right drivers. 3. Extract USB_Burning_Tool_v2.0.0.140306_Alpha_x86.rar from amlogic_tools.rar and click on setup_v2.0.0.140306_Alpha_x86.exe to install the tool 4. Start the USB burning toolS802_USB_Burning_Tool_OrigClick on File->Import image and select your .img firmware. Click on File->Import image and select your .img firmware 5. make sure your S802 device is powered powered off, with the USB OTG port connected to your PC. Use a toothpick to press the recovery button, and power the device. The USB burning tool should automatically detect your device. (If not, install the moborobo tool). 6. Now click on the Start button button to proceed with the firmware update which should last several minutes.
