Hi all,
I have been heavy user of CCCAM and lately IPTV boxes. I have a Z Prime (wich I absolutely love!) and decided to buy the new S Mini.
So, after a whole week of trials, here are some of my findings:
The box is well built. Good quality! Easy to work with and navigate. Tried only IPTV with MyTVOnline app. The first bad news are that the channels freeze a whole lot more than on the Z Prime. In 5 minutes I can have some perfect first 3 minutes then constant freezes afterwards, while in the Z Prime the streams run smooth and 100% perfect all the way. Of course I'm using same IPTV provider, same router/net. Also sometimes s mini hangs at startup, with kind of orange led (not green, not red). Only solution is to unplug power cable, RCU does not have any effect. Other times boots ok, mytvonline connects correctly to provider but does not open any channels/streams. Changing channels works but again it does not open any channels. Logging of mytvonline and logging back in does not help! Restarting s mini does not help! Same outcome, no channels! Only solution is to unplug power cable. Then s mini opens channels, but channels have the annoying constant freezes in a few minutes.
Meanwhile, the Z PRIME is working perfect, without a glitch during this s mini test periods.
It seems to me that the s mini has lot of potential but still needs a lot of work!
The Android version should be optimized! Not phone Android version! Mytvonline app needs many issues fixed! Some fixes at firmware level needed! Being able to set a startup app like in Z Prime would be great!
Did not have time to test CCCAM, just IPTV.
All being said, I will keep the Z Prime as my main box as for now it works so much better than s mini! Will keep the s mini for a month or two and hope FORMULER solves these and other issues it may have. I will not sell my s mini or advise purchase of this box as is because it is not usable! I think Formuler started selling s mini too soon as it needs more work!
Best Regards
