Note: Posts to this subject, Ugoos SK, 1 should not be relating to other devices. Those should be entered in a separate subject and posts.
Sk1 arrived this afternoon and all up and running not really noticed any difference to my am8 tbh other that itās appearance.
I am impressed with the delivery from Alibaba though which was free and took 13 days.
Glad ya got it, ya got a gd deal. Here in uk we got 20% vat to add on to things, so even when they reduced on say aliexpress/alibaba they are still expensive. Works out cheaper to get them from ugoos.store
Hey @Avid08 good day. One thing I like about the SK1 compared to any other device Iāve owned is the plethora of options that are available. Wow. The AI upscaling is amazing as well. Have fun my friend.
Thats a really gd price, didnāt realise as when you posted when you bought it, it was in dollars. How come you got such a big coupon saving?
Yes Miki they do have nice features and settings to tweak and play with.
Glad you are getting on with yours now as you first impressions didnāt seem favourable..
Yes I had two receipts and thought I would just post the one in dollars.
Not sure why they gave me the discount coupon maybe an introductory offer because I have never purchased anything from there and usually use AliExpress.
Or maybe a spring sale not totally sure but it was a nice little saving.
Yes sir. I have grown more and more use to the Ugoos, although their lack of assistance is still a concern. Would definately be nice to have a remote keymap at the very least. Enjoy @Avid08 Iām sure you will. Have a good weekend.
Yeh, thats a really good discount i paid Ā£159 for mine.
Glad to hear youāre liking it now Miki, wish i hadnāt sold mine now.
Something else will come along to tempt youā¦
Yes a bit of a learning curve with no real assistance from Ugoos.
But there device work well for the most part with maybe the odd bug here and there that are not deal breakers for me.
The keymap remote is not something that I really need, but I can see it being helpful for others.
I do use the programmable IR buttons though which are helpful for me.
Thanks and enjoy your weekend too..
With so many options at least a minimal guide would be helpful. As you said there are so many options, and some are hidden deep into the menus.
I like the UR02 remote but have thought of getting a Dune R4 to use with it for more options, but I do wonder how the mapping would be.
Anyone using alternate remotes for more functions?
Yeh, holding out for new ugoos devices, hopefully will reveal some at Hong Kong expo next month.
Glad you like the SK1. It has basically the same hardware & software as the AM8 Pro. The metal case is more functional for cooling on the AM8 Pro but the SK1 remote has better functionality. Once you get the hang of what you can do to customize your device, it is a breeze to operate.
Owning the am8 from its release and knowing all the settings and doās and donāt has definitely helped.
So setting it up was a breeze and I already own the ur02 remote so I donāt have to get used to using that either.
I definitely would recommend Ugoos devices and hopefully they keep producing these higher end devices.
Do I have to Jail Break a Ugoos SK1 Smart TV Box Android 11 Amlogic S928X-K 8GB 128GB? If so do you have a video or instruction on how to?
As the SK1 is stock android, and not a proprietary operating system, (like Amazon, Apple, Roku, etc.), you have the freedom to grant permissions for all available open source apps for your device. This will give you total access to everything out there for the android operating system.
I ordered one as well. Not worth it for me. No matter what settings I use it only plays one speaker through my Denon atmos reciever. So its useless for me there.
