Any comments regarding this box greatly received with regards to the specification. Thank you also to whoever put in the picture!!

Rockhip is a pretty bad choice of chipset if you are going to be using the box for media playback. AMLogic (s905/x/w/z) based boxes are a much better choice for a media centre, Allwinner if using as a NAS or server.

No Bluetooth?

Is the firmware able to be updated?

Not a clue, sorry. Someone who knows these boxes will be along shortly, hopefully!

I would say unless you can find a ROM on Freaktab (you can't at the moment) then you'll be out of luck with this box. Boxes with Amlogic S905X and at least 2GB RAM are well supported, (the box in this deal uses Rockchip) although there's many of them. I always check for custom ROM support on Freaktab first. I haven't seen or researched for any boxes using Oreo, the main feature with Oreo is Project Triple which means better future firmware support, although again I don't know how that would affect any Chinese boxes on Oreo, anyway perhaps that discussion is for another day.

1GB is fine for libreelec. 461420 (ie 460MB) free ram with 100s of films and 1000s of tv shows.

What if one has Bluetooth USB dongle? Can you use it with these kind of boxes?

Can anyone advise if this will be able to play from an external HDD. I would not be streaming only playing from an external HDD, and doesn't need to be 4K. Is there a better option or player for around the same price that anyone can recommend?
All useful advice welcome!

The box in the OP will do what you want, but a better choice would be either Beelink MINI MXIII II (£37.08) or Mini M8S III (£32.63).
Mini M8S II is available for £21.50 in the 1GB/8GB model, but android doesn't run particularly well with 1GB. It's more than enough if you were to run Libreelec instead, which is preferable to android, and it can be booted from SD card keeping android on the internal eMMC for dual-boot.

Exactly.
Libreelec on a s905x based box is currently the best way to go. End of.

I've been looking at doing this but not a clue how to set it up or find the correct files. Any advice please?

forum.libreelec.tv/thr…ce/ - Basically write SD card, put SD card in box, boot to recovery, reboot. That will allow you to boot LE with SD card inserted, android with it removed. If you prefer you can ssh into the box and issue the "installtointernal" command, which will replace android with LE, giving faster boots and better R/W performance.

Appreciate the reply thanks. Have to get an sd card next though. Could it be done with a flash drive?

Most AML boxes can be booted/flashed from a flash drive in one of the USB sockets (some in any USB socket), although a few have USB booting disabled. Nothing lost by trying on yours, just remember to try a different USB port if it doesn't work first time.

I have a Mini M8S II 4K Amlogic S905X I've had a look at the LibreElec option. When running the LibreElec USB-SD creater Should I select Wetek play and down load latest wetek image?

Disregard (1) in the creator, download this image generic amlogic s905 and select it in (2) "Select File" section, choose your sd/usb then click write:

my sony android TV can't tune some of the free channels. anyone know if this helps in getting all the free view channels?
gother to valluri

Yes with android boxes you can install tvplayer which will give you freeview channels plus a few freesat ones. Also it'll give you 30 premium channels too if you want them for £5.99p/m one month free trial. Tv player itself though is free.
