Finally got a chance to test PVR this morning. NTFS formatted usb device required. Was able to record a channel. When I hit menu button I get server options as well as PVT folder for playback. Interestingly, it the pvr playback has options such as aspect ratio, 2D/3D toggle, and a few subtitle options. I was not able to schedule recording from the epg as the option at the button was greyed out (tested on multiple services).
Now for my first big annoyance - when changing channels sometimes the volume spikes extremely loud (scared the heck out of my wife last night while watching tv in bed lol). Hoping there is some way around this but have not found a solution thus far.

A few boxes are having that issue.
People behind the box are aware of the volume issue and will be fixed in the next ota update.
Don't know when the next update will go through.
Just want to let you know your not alone on the volume issue.
I just got my box but when I turn on take me to 2 option one looks like the settings and the other the web browser if I select settings takes me to 5 options ethernet,firmware,display setting,time zone and file manager can you please tell me how to get to the apps thank you
when the screen shows those two options, click the 8 button on the remote... 7 times.
I got one of these last week and had the same thing with getting the settings and browser menu. Forgot you guys said to 8888888. It is odd that even though I changed the clock to 12 hour it shows 24 hour in LED readout on box front, don't like that. I suppose I'll have to mess around with it for a while to see if I like it. The main reason I did get it was for the Kodi 17.3 and android version. Can't find any info about it on the net anywhere. As posted earlier, the remote is LOS and a bit awkward. Air mouse with keyboard on back works fine with it though. Just wish there was someplace to get some info on it; like what chip is in it.
IDK which box is the best, I think that is subjective. It depends on how you want to use it, i.e. are you hooking it up to a monitor or TV and also if you want to connect it to a sound system. What type of connection do you want to use, etc.
Best advice is to read about each box on the forum and see who likes which one and who has problems. Take your time. Youtube is always a good resource for different android TV boxes as well as XDA Developers.
'Best' is different for everybody depending on several factors.
Hello
I will be hooking it up to tv and also a bose soundbar
Do they both work with soundbar?
Don't really care about how epg looks
More concerned about the chip the memory the gb the speed the quality.
Since both can have kodi it's okay.
It's more about the quality of the box and specs.
If both will even connect to my soundbar which I'm assuming they should
Thank u for your insight and knowledge
Specs are posted in this very Global thread. The t1 also has specs posted ��
