The Scishion V88 TV BOX thread

Those that ordered from gearbest, there is finally life again at the JHB sorting hub. This along with another package of mine that left china a month ago is finally tracking in SA.
 
Post office app sent a notification this morning. A full ten days after it landed.
 
The one I got for my friend died last night. All connectivity stopped working. It was great until that point.
 
Just got mine today after it arrived at SA Customs on the 19th of August.
 
Picked mine up today. Enterprising bastard at sars decide that the classification for this item was 8527.13 other apparatus combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus. So that was R151 plus R73 vat plus R22 clearance fee.

Picked up mine at the local postal agency. No additional charge.
 
R41 Durmail. Package was opened by SARS and the label written TV box in red. Actually have had very good luck with Durmail over the years. Worst was R61 for some electronic components worth less than R300, best was R54 for my R2400 tablet.

It's a so-so, although my first device in its class. Want to add a couple of webcams and see if I can get an IPCam out of it.
 
Received mine. Had to pay R40.
The device is fast and responsive.
Plex from the Playstore and from the Amazon App Store does not work, it just fails to load.
I downloaded a older version of Plex and installed it manually and it worked.
I am suprised with the WIFI performance of the device, it works really well and gives good speeds.

The default home skin did stop working a couple of times but I change it to one of the other home skins and it worked fine.
 
Can you hook up a bluetooth keyboard to this? I can find no way.
