TRONFY MXIV Telos "Gigabit Ethernet"
Turn your Tv into a smart TV by adding the Tronfy MXIV Telos
Hi folks,
This Quick Review is for the Trofy MXIV Telos (Gibabit Ethernet) sponsored by Tinydeal
The Trofy MX IV Telos is the upgraded model adding the Gigabit Ethernet & android lollipop 5.1
I got My Tronfy MX IV Telos from Tinydeal It arrived in 5 days via DHL from china to the uk with £14 customs duty to pay ouch.
Quick facts
The S812 device is more or less the same as the S802 but adding H.265/HEVC video
decoding up to 4K
It comes with 16GB of rom Witch is a nice size for an android tv box plenty
of room for all your apps, games & still lots of room left over.
It has 2 full sized usb ports,1 otg port,micro sd card slot,AV,ethernet,HDMI out,SPDIF & the power port.
Oh & not forgetting the secret recovery button in the AV hole.
The Tronfy MXIV Telos is a small sized tv box but its not lacking anything at all It has the power button on the top so no reaching around the back to turn it off & on, There's plenty of ventilation holes on the bottom of the box to help with the cooling.
The box comes pre rooted & is running android Lolliopo 5.1 With a few useful apps
installed but not too many as to clutter up the device..BBC i player,VCL player,skype,Netflix,Ect
The bbc iplayer app thats preinstalled crashes every time so cant use that app (i cant find a fix for this yet).I can download the program & watch it once its downloaded but cant stream it for some reason the app will just return to the start page. Im expecting this to be fixed very soon.
The device itself come's with two launchers pre installed Both of the launcher's look & work very well
Light Home launcher
Media box launcher
Iv also installed Nova launcher which run's as fast as iv seen it opperate on a tv box.
Eshare Function
It's a multi-screen interaction application for smart phone's or tablet's to interact with the TV..Supports Video,audio,picture,documentsk,apk's,camera,remote controll,screen mirroring,airplay,DLNA,wireless storage
Kodi
Its addvertised that it come's with kodi 14.2 but mine came with 15.1
Pre-install Kodi media center,Kodi can be used to play almost all of your popular audio and video formats around. you can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet.Comes pre loaded with tons & tons of addon's (Some adult content)
1080 video's have been playing fine up to now also 1080 youtube video's playing fine
Internal Photos
As you can see the PCB is made by Nextron who make most of the PCB in the the Android TV box's right now,I was expecting it to be the same PCB as my Tronfy non Gigabit Ethernet but no its slightly different.

So you will need to use sixaxis 0.8.1
