Android Gbox Midnight MX2
Been eyeing this for awhile now.
Besides the different remote, can somebody tell me what the difference is between these two options? $97 G-Box Midnight MX2 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Dual Core XBMC Streaming Mini HTPC TV Box Player http://www.amazon.com/G-Box-Midnight...s=midnight+mx2 $104 Matricom G-Box MX2 Dual Core XBMC Android 4.2 TV Box + Special Edition XBMC [NEWEST VERSION] http://www.amazon.com/Matricom-G-Box...s=midnight+mx2 The cheaper one seems to be the older one but I really don't see the difference specs wise other than the keyboard remote. |
Fish can probably tell you. I have the first and like it.

Yeah, I sent him a PM. Hope to hear from him soon. Really want to know all of the tweaks too.

Those 2 are the same versions. I'm not sure why they do that on Amazon, but I've seen it before. The version with the beefed up remote with keyboard is a good deal if you want a cheap remote with full keyboard. You can get other bluetooth remotes for it too. Most are $15-30. Some of the nicer ones have a little trackpad you can use to browse with.
Yeah, this box is pretty awesome once it's tweaked out. Here's some good resources for you: http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/xbmc-a...night-mx2.html http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php...x+midnight+mx2 (This link began when it first came out, so the beginning of the thread deals with some of the issues that have since been resolved. I've heard from pretty much everyone that the first thing you should do is a factory restore. That fixes any bloatware and performance issues. There's a newer version of Netflix you can get(I believe the link is in the first link above), that will let you view Netflix in HD. If you just want XBMC and don't need the Android OS, you can also load Linux on it that will just run XBMC. But you're giving all resources to XBMC so it runs like a beast. |

And I think I still want to factory restore mine. I'm tempted to wipe android altogether and install linux/xbmc since I rarely use the android crap on it (though I might try clash of clans on it this weekend just to see how it plays).

But... once you get it setup correctly, it's pretty incredible. You'll literally have any movie or TV show available, plus much more. Seeing the finished product working in all its glory will blow your socks off, and it makes it worth the effort. And if you get stuck along the way, there's a huge amount of help available online. |
