I wouldn't buy it,......call it a gut feeling.

Plus the specifications are missing for some things,..such as it didn't say what OS.
and only 512M of ram?? and no internal HDD (or SSD),....I suppose they're expecting you to hook up a external HD, or just use remote media.

So it looks like they're an official sponsor now. Gotta love options.

Mine shipped on 4/11 and I still don't have it, I'm guessing that jonatan doesn't have his yet either. I'll let you know if/when I get mine.

Good to see you over here,

I did pay for mine, and that is exactly how I feel.

where did you post for help on this POS. There has to be a way to get it to 98% (I hope)

VidOn.Me Set Top box. HuhHuh

Got mine yesterday. User manual basically useless! Sad

Hooked it up to cable modem via Ethernet cable.

I can see the connection on my ARRIS cable box.

HDMI connection to my 720p. I see the VidOn.me MENU Okay.

Unable to get the firmware update to download... Getting error

Have not hooked up my 1 and 2 TB WD drives yet.

Plugged in a thumb drive with a MP4 file - Dark Shadows
Plays Okay. Was not created via DVDFAB, got it from my Son.

Remote control: Cannot Pause video.. Cuts off the audio but video keeps playing.

Not sure if the new firmware will fix anything. Will still try to get the update to download.

NOT really impressed! Sad Hope someone can get it to work. Smile

I think VidOn.me are trying to do the right thing, but they've grossly underestimated the whole android set-top-box "thing". They thought they could just get any bulk box from China and have it work. Even when the boxes look the same and have the same basic board inside, they can vary greatly on actual configurations, firmware, quality, etc. Even dealing with major manufacturers directly, like Geniatech, can be very challenging, because even they don't always care about the details and just want to ship this stuff as cheaply as possible. The middle company often has to "babysit" those manufacturers to make sure everything goes right, that they use the right materials and populate the boards with the correct electronics, and so on. It sounds like VidOn.me is learning all of this right now.
