Ugoos AM8 or My next box🤗

came in packaged very nice but 1 thing is wrong, can you spot it?

Wrong plug? Looks like there’s an adapter though.

In my opinion Hdr or hdr +10 looks just as good if not better than Dolby vision. To me DV is too dark. Just sayin

I can’t honestly say as I’ve never had a DV capable TV, but the HDR10 or HDR10+ is awesome. Took me a while to set up the Shield Pro for best picture and sound.

correct

It will work fine and to be honest I expected that from ugoos and normally I just het another adaptor.

Mine arrived with correct EU plug, and they threw in a universal travel adaptor.

Enjoy…still playing with mine🤣

Agreed. I prefer HDR 10 +, to dolby. Works fine for me on my Sony TV.

Ugoos will upscale to 4k rendering on everything except youtube for some reason…

Do you get an onscreen notification that states that. Or how do you determine whether it has upscaled or not?

Question from me, cos i don’t know.:grinning:

To be honest I wasnt looking for it just yet but after I installed projectivy launcher it showed at the bottom of settings as seen in that pic, so I enabled it and I must say this picture is awesome on my cheapo roku tv…and I dare say better than my…well I better not :joy:

My tv is a 1080p and it shows that in the resolution settings and its set to best avaliable with a framerate buffer of 3840 x 2169

after I clicked on that 4k button it had me reboot the box

Mine is a 4k tv. I used smartube and a 4k video and this is what i got when clicking the dev options wheel.

Dont quite know what you mean by clicking the 4k button.

its just an option that showed on the projectivy launcher screen. I did root the box as they claim the launcher has more options offered after root. ? dunno if thats why but the launcher did ask me to grant root.

Here is another issue when connected to Lan cable. My speeds are fibre optic 965 download and 265 upload.

But when i use my iptv on catchup or live, i occasionally get " no internet connection" flash up on the screen. If i click the ffwd bar by a minute or so, the programme continues.

And so, back to my Minix and no such issues in iptv and same programmes.

It is very sporadic. Hopefully Ugoos will take my email comments on board.

very strange. Ive seen no issues with tv or any video. Im using tivimate and channelsdvr. Thats all ive installed for viewing. Been watching a ball game and now a recording. I have my homerun tuners, iptv subs and philo all up.

Yep…very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

Maybe reset to factory and reboot router.

I will think about it before doing anything.

Oh…one other thing. System update does nothing when i click on it. Screen goes black and then back to where i was.

Maybe because there are no updates yet.

Complete BS! I expect more of Ugoos

@Throttlejockey . I don’t know what that " “complete BS” is supposed to mean or who it is directed at.

Perhaps you could enlighten readers.

By the way, i have just done wi fi speeds on 5g and 2.4 g …pathetic. 5g 30mbps and 2.4g…129mbps.

And the router is less than a metre from the Ugoos device. Ethernet speeds…965mbps!

Thank you.
