Licensing the proper bits for Chromecast requires a monumental quantity commitment to Google, in terms of both cash and development resources.
"Chromecast built-in", the most useful of official android tv is missing. So what's the advantage, I would rather have more ram and storage with non official android tv box than this. Also there's no Bluetooth, then what's the use of play games.
Does this thing support USB tv tuners for Live Channels and DVr support?
The S905W is the "runt" of the AMLogic S9xx litter. It is the slowest and most crippled and limited of the family.
Slower than an AMLogic S905X Xiaomi Mi Box.
Don't believe all the promo crap you see on YouTube. It is not an official, licenced "Android TV" device.
I just bought the non voice remote version and it's not running Android TV OS. Generic Mecool launcher and NO Netflix HD :(
Some unknown product that literately has 3 names instead of one. Cool story.
The reception of this seems so bleek that I get to think people really didn't care about the origin of their boxes beforehand.... as long as it's not fully Chinese...
Edit: my Shield was made in China! it's where all the good stuff comes from today...
