The Rocktek G2 (amzn.to/47MqxYI) is a Nvidia Shield Pro or Apple TV 4k alternative that has a lot of the features of the Shield Pro but at a lower price. It runs stock Android TV, which is my favorite operating system for a streaming box. Get a 10% discount with the promo code 10upscaled (valid until 9/21/23).
Android TV boxes are devices that run on the Android operating system and are designed to turn your regular television into a smart TV. They offer access to a wide range of apps, streaming services, games, and other content directly on your TV screen. These devices typically connect to your TV via HDMI and provide internet connectivity through Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

One of the best one's I had back in the 1080p days was one by Google/Nexus and played everything. Honestly the old Xbox One was a really good streaming device for Video and Movie files.

Wished more of these smaller Andriod TV streaming companies would start using Snapdragon or AMD APU's. Might bet way better compatibility with video and audio codecs like Hi-Res and also Wifi 6/6e etc

Hello sir. do you prefer this one over xiaomi tv box 2nd gen ?. my most uses for plex and playback from external hardisk.. and i was looking for 32gb storage

Purchased this box to replace the Nvidia Shield several months ago. overall I'm happy with it except for the bug of resetting its DV/HDR setting to 'sink-led", instead of 'source led" which must be chosen to activate HDR on RU-vid and KODI. Hopefully the bug will get fixed soon!

@jasonlin1937 Hi! I have the same damn problem with the Dolby Vision! I have to manually turn it on in the settings every morning. The DV resets to OFF if I switch the power off in the evening (including the power plug).

Does the power button setup work correctly on the rockteck? I.e. if you set it to IR for the tv does it shut off both or just the TV?

@Upscaled_Reviews 10 месяцев назад
You could probably set that up using CEC. I haven’t tried it though.

Is there anything tangibly better about this compared to an Apple TV 4K? Further when you are using plex and would like to fast forward, does it skip or play smooth?
@Upscaled_Reviews
@Upscaled_Reviews 10 месяцев назад
It actually offers the option to playback lossless codecs. It did play smoothly. I would recommend a hardwired connection though.
@chrisbullock6477
@chrisbullock6477 7 месяцев назад
good question, although that mainly depends on your internet speed, wifi/vs Ethernet, and also the amount and speed of the memory

Are they going to keeo up with updates? There's also freezing issues that are being complained about. Rebranded MeCool it appears

Unsure. Mine only updated when I set it up.

I got this box, and I love it on the whole. Except for two issues. One, I can't use a large capacity thumbdrive formatted to NTFS. Which sucks, meaning I can't watch my downloaded movies. Two. Do you have any issues with the Dolby Vision? I have to manually turn it on in the settings every morning. The DV resets to OFF if I switch the power off in the evening (including the power plug).

As intriguing as this looked with all Formats.... I have NEVER seen an Android TV box where as soon as you connect it, it prompts you to update with Chinese wording.. VERY SUSPECT!. I am good. I rather get another NVIDIA Shield Pro or the New Fire stick 4K MAX.

The theater is pretty much done except for acoustic paneling, which I’m holding off on for now. I’ve been tweaking bass response right. I can’t seem to get enough bass even though I’m using all 6 subs.

​@@Upscaled_ReviewsIf you are looking for more better bass, go with PSA subs. They are the standard for subs
