I saw your thread a few weeks ago, but whilst looking up S912 boxes last night I found this code from a few articles. It's not a repost if the price is cheaper.

Just to clarify, there was no mention of the code on chrisshein's thread last night or even earlier today - sorry if I've put his nose out of joint but cheap prices are what HUKD is all about. He seems to have edited his post to show the code now - but I haven't "stolen" his deal. I found the code through reading S912 articles and blogs.

For some reason his thread says £54.71 (?) and not £54.87.

hi, firstly, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience brought to you
Second,could you please kindly send me your order number for re-checking ?
As for the return postage(£9.45), i would like to give a coupon code with has the same value.
What more, here is our updated "Warranty and return policy" which is more acceptable and reasonable

Code GBH96P3 takes it down to £54.87.

Hands-on look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BZ7vrq0teg (2GB version though)

Can't vouch for this but a Youtube user asks if the H96 Pro and R-Box Pro are the same - "It's the same box with different custom branding, and there will be others on this same box". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQS0yKS7Y7w (Youtube videos with computerised voiceovers annoy me :stuck_out_tongue:)!

Also branded Vensmile T92, I think?

I quoted this the other day

This article about Amlogic S905, S905X and S912 processor speeds is interesting http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/08/28/amlogic-s905-and-s912-processors-appear-to-be-limited-to-1-5-ghz-not-2-ghz-as-advertised/

One comment from diegor says: "The trick here is that Amlogic kernel reports 2.02 GHz, even through it’s apparently not running at that speed. That’s why it took so long to discover the issue, as people needed to run benchmarks at various frequencies to find out."

what about customs charges?

No AC wireless which is a big oversight

actually it will be much less. I got £100 box a few years a go via dhl. Was £5ish. they put the item value on the front really low, not the actual price you paid.

I saw your thread a few weeks ago, but whilst looking up S912 boxes last night I found this code from a few articles. It's not a repost if the price is cheaper.

I've been using the Acemax M12N for a couple of weeks now and talking to a few other people that have similar boxes, some manufacturers and using the same hardware in their own case with the same firmware apart from launchers and basic customisation.

None of the S912 firmwares come with a working navigation/notification bar and a few other omissions, so I made a modded firmware that at least resolves a few issues.

Auto adjust display rate is not working, whether in firmware of Kodi/SPMC in all firmwares.

It looks as if the SDK needs some improvement before things can really move forward but the S912 has possibilities, especially with the updated GPU.

Where the S912 really shines at the moment is in regards to it's video colour quality, which has great depth and has only been matched by my Rk3288.

When using Kodi, leave the amcodec switched off and with SPMC, switch it off as it has no use with these latest SOC's and will prevent video from showing with some formats. SPMC yields slightly smoother results than Kodi 16.

There is a lot of talk at the moment about the actual speed of the CPU, which has been advertised as 2.0Ghz but may, from tests that some have run, to only between 1.5 and 1.7Ghz with a sort of quick burst mode that can reach 2.0Ghz for brief periods, although as far as I am aware, confirmation from AMLogic is still forthcoming.

Mine came though DHL and I ended up paying a whopping £21. £9 duties and £11 DHL handling payment, which was very unusual as the last box I bought only added £3.50, which I didn't mind paying.

Surface shipping is the delivery method least likely to become subject to duties.
