Another positive review i just haven't found anyone that doesn't like it. I bought mine last night hopefully be here tomorrow very excited. My current android box is 15 years old still works but really lagging now nano max 4k. Was torn between this and latest firestick but firestick i just prefer andriod products

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

Yep, like I said, the negatives would be cons for some people, but not for my usage and overall, I think this is a well-rounded great value device with great specs and value for money. One of my 5 fave new boxes to have come out in the last 18 months. Enjoy your new toy!

@amandaglover9672 2 месяца назад

Ive had mine for about a month now. Was enjoying it until i went to watch a 4k dts hd movie tonight but no sound but DD5.1 works. Will have to get another box for my lounge because i like dts hd sound. 🥴

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

Even though I didn't test audio 5.1 specifically, I'm wondering if it's a platform related issue? So if the issue is on, say, Netflix, did you check on another like Prime video? But yeah, it seems like there's no "perfect" box that satisfies everyone's criteria.

@amandaglover9672 2 месяца назад

@@WOTBoxTV Netflix Dolby Atmos works fine so does dolby digital it's just DTS audio can't get sound. Apart from that it's a great 1st box.

I've seen a few people in reviews mentioning that it doesn't have automatic HDR switching and if always in either Dolby Vision or HDR10. How does that affect SDR content?

Does that G1 BOX SHUTOFF BUTTON WORKS WITH SHUTTING OFF TV OF BOTH SYSTEMS,if so how

@WOTBoxTV Месяц назад

Good question. I no longer have the device, but from memory, I think that if you pressed the power button (when it was on), it'd turn off only the device and not the TV.

@jonsavva 2 месяца назад

I have a couple of questions Does ITVX and all4 app etc work Can you do a video on inside the google App Store , also is the ps remote play available

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

Couple of issues as I am not based in the UK (in Spain). ITVX and ALL4 "work" yes, but usually hvae to be sideloaded. I no longer have the box so can't check them now. That said, the All4 app is clunky at best as it's not an Android TV compatible app (it's designed for a touch screen and not for remote controlled navigation), so you have to sideload it/them. Some apps are only available on a location basis. I have a huge backlog of videos and projects atm so it could be awhile before maybe making a video on the Google Play Store. PS Remote Play is available in the AndroidTV Play Store - a paid app which costs €7.49 here Hope this helps

@tonyf9984 Месяц назад

Techdoctoruk has under Tutorials on his website customised versions of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Chanel5 & UKTV apps that all work flawlessly on this box, exactly as they do on the Firestick/Firecube. Channel4 still being worked on ...

Excellent review with very good comments. I am now using a Chromcast Google TV 4K and I am having recording issues with Tivimate. The problem I am facing is that the video recording stops while the audio recording is going well. For a one-hour recording, this may happen several times. The problem is probably due to the lack of power in the device itself. Have you encountered such a problem with the Kinhank G1? Do you have any recommendations?

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

I didn't use Tivimate with the Kinhank G1 so am unable to comment in that respect. That said, I have the Chromecast with Google TV and it can in terms of power if used with external storage and an alternative PSU... Recommendations? The Kinhank would probably be OK for your needs. Also, I use Nvidia Shields as daily drivers and also a Homatics Box R 4K Plus. Both will also handle what you want to do.

@@WOTBoxTV Thanks, I will try it and share my results

Месяц назад

I have received the Kinhank G1 and have tried recording on my NAS via Tivimate. Everything works properly and the playback of the recordings is excellent. The only downside is that several streaming applications for local content cannot be installed because these applications do not seem to support this version of Android TV 11.

@WOTBoxTV Месяц назад

Hmm, you may have to try and contact the respective app developers to update their apps(?)- That said, Android TV 11 isn't that recent, so a little surprising.

16 часов назад

@@WOTBoxTV I have found the problem. Those streaming applications for local content are supported. My problem was that I was using a Google profile registered in another country under Google Play Store. Once I used a Google profile registered in my country, those applications installed like a charm. One side note regarding Tivimate, I am really impressed by the G1, I am able to record at least 4 HD streams simultaneously. The G1 is really a good IPTV box.

@williamlow6925 2 месяца назад

I have NOKIA 8010 near same spec / price but has 1 x USB 3.0 + 1 x USB 2.0 so slightly better

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

The Nokia 8010 is a great box indeed! Though steps up a litte in price (about20 GBP more). In my top 5 new boxes over the last 18 months! I have the 8010 review footage ready to edit (in the queue along with other boxes). The 8010, along with the Homatics Box R 4K Plus and the RokTek G2 (all manufactured by SEI Robotics) are all clones of each other with identical specs but with differing cases and remotes. There is a fourth, based on the Homatics, branded by DuneHD called the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus, but with the addition of the optionto install the Dune HD media center.

@renesonse5794 2 месяца назад

I'd like to know how to remap buttons.

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

The Button Mapper app handles that, as long as the button hasn't been hardcoded in the remote's firmware. In the case of this Kinhank G1 device, 3 of the 4 quick access buttons can be remapped, the fourth (the Netflix button) can't. Covered this at 13:10 in the vid

@rctechtime 2 месяца назад

Some times with 4 shortcuts depending on the device you can’t. Re map. But covered that in his video

@hamada6719791 Месяц назад

Ihave found in Ali express KinHank G1 with only Amlogic S905X4 but less 25$ YOU THINK IS GOOD TO BUY or S905X4 J deserve 25 $ more ? not gonna use for gaming I have console and decent PC for gaming / its real 4 K cuz i see on Aida 64 1080 FHD ?

@WOTBoxTV Месяц назад

As far as I know, there is only one version of the kinhank G1. If the listing says S905X4 , it's almost certainly the same S905X4-J chip. The G1 handles 4K just fine - Netflix, RU-vid, Prime etc, etc. The Aida64 results showed 1920x1080 because it was connected via capture card to my PC monitor which is only 1080.

@chrisy4011 2 месяца назад

Soo this or xiaomi box? or meecool newest one?

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

The G1 has more up to date hardware (compared to the Xiaomi) and gives a better bang for your buck imo. Comparing to the Mecool KM2 Plus Deluxe (the latest device from them), they have MANY similarities....same 2xUSB 2.0 USB, MicroSD slot, and the same processor (the very recent S905X4-J) etc. The Mecool has 1Gbps Ethernet whereas this is 100Mbps. On price the Mecool costs around $25-$30 more after discounts so, unless that Ethernet port is a major need for you, I'd probably get the Kinhank. At the end of the day, it all depends onyour own type of usage. BTW, I am in the process of reviewing the Mecool, video out in the next 2 weeks...

@Nite-owl 2 месяца назад

Wouldn't the inclusion of 4gb ram be pointless, seeing as it's only capable of running in 32 bit mode? I was always lead to believe that in order to utilise the full 4gb it would need to be running at 64 bit.

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

You can have more apps in the background with more RAM, but how many people would benefit is debatable. Then again, you can guarantee that there would be loads of comments along the lines of "2GB of Ram is not enough these days"

@Nite-owl 2 месяца назад

@@WOTBoxTV Agreed, and the look on their faces when they learn that the top dog in streaming boxes, the Nvidia Shield, only has 3gb of Ram.

@rctechtime 2 месяца назад

Worth purchasing with the products I own ? U know what i have

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

What you have already more than covers your needs, BUT as you also have a growing collection,I think this is one you'd like....it's similar in specs to the KM2 Plus Deluxe but without the gbit LAN...all else is the same...

@missing1person Месяц назад

if this has official android why wouldn't it get updates ?

@WOTBoxTV Месяц назад

Good question. Yes, It will get normal Android TV app updates as expected. The unknown is if Kinhank themselves develop and put out firmware upgrades, which might include stepping up to Android TV 12 or even Android TV 14 (Google themselves halted development on Android TV 13)

@lililomarlilil 2 месяца назад

The video output is either DV always on or HDR 10. No adaptive setting. So you can't play SDR videos on it.💩 And if you choose HDR you will lose Dolby vision😅 or if you choose DV you lose HDR🤷 Also, there is no way to select audio formats, only Auto, with no manual selections, or no surround at all.

No navigation bar a bit pricey for what it is not a bad box but my GT king is better also my Onn box would give it a run for its money .😳😆

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

Curious as to why you think the GT King "is better". I agree the Onn is a MONSTER in terms of value for money! A terrfic device - I love mine. That said, it doesn't compete in terms level of expandability/hardware/specs.

@WOTBoxTV 2 месяца назад

Oh and the "no navigation bar" bit...do you mean the bar at the bottom? That's because it runs vanilla Android (not Android TV OS). Certainly has powerful hardware at a higher price - about twice the price (?)
