Pretty nice unit, just wish they had Lollypop instead of kitkat but otherwise looks impressive, would love to see user review.
The orders that already came in have already been shipped. Meaning anyone who ordered so far should be getting them soon. We should see user reviews for the box shortly.
Tracking number would help... But I'll wait and see. Thanks
Up and running. Here are some quick thoughts:
The setup of the Avov 2 is identical to the Avov 1 box. Cabling is easy, but be sure to connect the HDMI cable to the "out" port. There are 2 HDMI "in" ports on the Avov 2. The power supply is different from the Avov 1, so if you've got a Avov 1 box you can't just unplug and plug into the Avov 2. The remote requires 2 AAA batteries and is improved from the Avov 1. The game controller needs 2 AA batteries.
I immediately loaded the TVOnline and iLive apps to watch IPTV. My initial reaction is that IPTV picture quality is about the same as it is on the Avov 1 box, a 720p look. Since some channels look better than others, I agree with others on this site that IPTV picture quality is as dependent on network and picture encoding factors as it is box related. I will be doing some side-by-side testing of the Avov 1 and 2 to be more certain.
I watched some VOD movie samples on the TVOnline app and did notice a pretty good sound improvement. I'm guessing that the Avov 2 box has a better digital sound processor than the 1. I'm running both boxes through the same Yamaha AV receiver, so that's why I believe Avov improved their box. The VOD picture quality is excellent (1080 for sure).
Please consider that these are thoughts after a very short time with the Avov 2, but I did want to give you all some feedback. Also understand that I have a 1.5Mbps DSL Internet connection. Those of you with better connections may see different results.
I'll post more as I get more testing done.
