Just got one today and completely new to this, consider me a n00b
Need help setting it up and understanding all this jargon

Did you get yours at Incredible Connection.

No Stock available anywhere as per their website. I know as I was looking last week.

"In Store" special only I see, and they only have them in stock in a few stores, none of them in Cape Town...

Ok. Cool.
Doesn't seem like any Incredible Connection in Cape Town has stock. Called around and visited a few of their stores. No luck.

Had to pay a premium at Takealot

Is all this Oreo nonsense a blessing in disguise and causing a drop in the inflated local prices?

Why not use an xbox controller with pc receiver. A PlayStation controller or any Bluetooth controller you already own?

Anyone using a game controller with the WI? What works that's wallet friendly and available locally?

Have used xbox 360 controller but it eas a bit flaky in terms of recognizing the axes.

Dualshock4 worked brilliantly. Still using it.

The ones at Incredible are version 3, not 4. I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not?

I got mine at Clearwater Mall, and had to ask for it. They kept them just tossed big box with some other stuff.

My challenge now is to use my phone as a remote. I can cast to it, but the remote apps can't connect to it.

Version 4 is Chinese only and no Android or Android TV OS.

I find YouTube a great resource. You can have a look here https://youtu.be/CTmoE2lITuA

Done guys in here have recommended using Puffin browser as well but I have not used it. You need to search for puffin in play store. I shall play with this once I receive mine.

For fun I downloaded Sharks evolution, it requires a gamepad but I used the remote and it worked.

Is there a way to use the PS3 Dualshock to use on the Mi Box? If so, how do i get it to work?

Hi all,

I am looking at getting a TV Box and read everything up to page 27 and then got bored.

I am new to this TV box thing and just want to find out a few things:

1. Is it possible to stream movies and series from any website? Not just Netflix and Showmax. The other free websites out there.
2. Can you connect a wireless keyboard and mouse to it?
3. Is it possible to play games like Age of Empires on it? Not mobile version. (Hubby likes old school games)
4. Can I stream movies that is on my PC to the box?
5. Is it "technically challenged" person safe?
6. Can I plug in an external hdd to watch movies from it?
7. TV is connected to a surround system. Will the sound come through the system or only through the TV?

I've never used Kodi or anything like it. Only linked up my laptop to browse the net or watch movies on the TV.

Thank you

Great deal from Kloppers and great economy delivery from Dawn Wing - to my door in 3 working days all for under R1100!

The bad: Wife is giving it to me for my birthday on the 14th so I can't open it until then :-/

I chose economy because if I had received it on Monday, I would be in trouble with the wife. At least now, it is only 3 sleeps...
