Arrived on August 17th via DHL with $28.42 CAD in duties/taxes.

Need to update and test out wireless and wired speeds.

I have a 2.5" external USB HDD plugged in and it's constantly bringing up the eject/browse screen. Is there anyway to get it to stop? I just want to stream videos off of the drive, that's the ONLY reason I bought this damn Android box...

And I read that the max internal SD card support is 32 GB??? Why so low?

That eject/brown screen only comes up once for me initially when I plug-in the drive. After that, I don't see it again unless I do a reboot/turn on the box.

Just got this box -- I find it very puzzling the remote has no pause button. I can't for the life of me figure out how to pause in Netflix, or how to update the Netflix app. Any ideas?
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.

ordered on Aug 10 using Priority Direct Mail and I received on Aug 23. No extra fees

I'm trying to use my iPhone with Airplay on this box but whenever I send an YouTube video to the device the phone is asking for a password.
Does anybody know how to get around that? There is no place to set up a password in the box.

Is there any other way to control the box with the phone?

Thanks

Does anyone else have the issue of sound stuttering on the box during playback? Mine every few minutes does a sound that reminds me of old school rap. If the person in the video was saying "video", I would hear "vid-vid-vid-vid-video".

This is a great little machine, but it's not what I was expecting, any not what I need. Going to be putting this up on the BTS section soon I think.

Anyone notice that the internal storage is 4gb, not 8gb?
