FAQ

Android TV is a smart TV platform from Google.

It was announced in June 2014 and with Android 5.0 Lollipop, Android TV is now fully launched and marching into our lives.

Android TV is the successor to Google TV, the company's previous stab at a big screen platform. You can pretty much forget that Google TV ever existed: the doors have been closed on it, and app developers encouraged to move over to Android TV instead.

What does Android TV do?

Simply put, Android TV is designed to bring the sorts of things you enjoy on your phone to your TV.

That doesn't mean you'll be taking calls through your TV or trawling through emails, but it's about ease of navigation, access to entertainment and simple interactivity. It's about making your TV smart and doing it with an interface that's recognisable and easy to use.

One of the first things you will want to do when you receive your android Tv box is to set your time zone. You can do this by going to settings - date & time - time - set time zone. You then scroll down the list until you get to your time zone, Australia is close to the bottom of the list when I set a box I just keep scrolling until it hits the bottom then scroll back up for Brisbane as I am in QLD

Click on the MxAus Wizard icon:

This will load the MxAus Build

From here you can watch Movies and Tv Shows from the latest to golden oldies. We will keep this up to date so you can keep enjoying free content.

If you find a mistake or something is not clear post in the forum so I can make it clearer

Use a PC to download the files not a Mac as Macs corrupt .zip files

First get a flash drive and download 2 files one from http://www.kodi.tv

Go to downloads scroll down until you see the kodi build just under where it says 'Choose your weapon' pick the green robot Android you will pick one of 2 either ArmV7A (32bit) or ArmV8A(64bit)  pick the ArmV7A (32bit) version that will run with no problem on all boxes.

The second file you will need is from

http://www.mxwiz.com/repo

You will need to download the zip file MXAUS_WIZARD.zip

OK lets start the install

After you have authorised unknown sources you need to hit the back button on your remote to get back to 'install from zip' once the wizard is installed you need to hit the back button twice to get back to add-ons where you can then click the wizard to start the install.

Once you are asked to force close either power the box off with the remote if your remote does not turn the box off unplug the box. Next time you go into kodi the MxAus build will be installed

First put the flash drive, with the 2 files, into one of the usb ports on your box

Next we need to delete the current version of kodi and my build from the box got to settings - Apps MxAus wizard - Unistall - ok -ok

Now you need to install Kodi 17.4 first go to all apps - app installer - then your flash drive then run the kodi 17.4 apk file. This will install kodi 17.4 onto your box.

Next click on the plus sign and make sure kodi is selected so it shows in the icons at the bottom of the page

Once you have the kodi icon click on it and open kodi

Once kodi opens scroll to add-ons - my add-ons - back one space this is done by clicking the 2 '..' at the top of the list - install from zip - you will need to allow unknown sources (then hit the back button) then install from zip again run MXAUS_WIZARD.zip

Let this run it will take anything from 30 seconds to 10 minutes depending on your internet connection once it has installed you will be asked to force close it on android this won't work so you need to turn the box off and back on with something like minix U1 you can just restart with other boxes you can either turn the power off or pull the power cord out and put it back in once the box restart my build will be loaded back onto kodi. Any problems post in the forum and I will help

Hit the back button on your remote

once the wizard is installed you need to hit the back button twice to get back to add-ons where you can then click the wizard to start the install.

You can see what version of kodi you have by going to settings (on the main menu not in kodi) - apps - kodi here you can view the kodi version you currently have installed.

First, you will need to download kodi 17.3 to your box open the browser on your box. You can find this in the add-on section of your box navigate to http://kodi.tv click the download section then the green robot (android) you will see the download for kodi 17.3 pick ARMV7A (32BIT) Let this download then go back to the main menu and go into the add-on section click on 'app installer' then Local you should see ARMV7A (32BIT) click on that and follow the instructions to install kodi.

Once finished click the kodi icon you will see first run and the kodi 17.3 logo once this has finished you will see my build or if you put another build you will see that.

As always if you have any problems or I have not made something clear let me know either in the forum or by email to sales@mxaus.com

Deciding which is the right box to purchase can be a little overwhelming first a recommendation is to purchase a box with 2gb ram and 16gb internal storage. Now I will run through some of the boxes I sell and describe the differences.

MQX Pro because of it's cheap price this is a very popular box and to test if the world of Android boxes work for you I recommend this as a test box only as it only has 1gb ram and 8gb storage (out of this the system uses 4/5gb) so MXQ Pro boxes are constantly pushed to their limits7

So which box do you pick first decide what you want the box for? If you just want to watch Tv Shows and movies a box with 2gb Ram and 16gb of Emmc storage will serve you well. If you may want to play games it may be worth making sure the box has Bluetooth so you can use things like BT remote, headphones and other accessories.

Another factor to consider is the OS on the box I do not sell any boxes with earlier versions of Android than 5.5.1. most are Android 6.1 and some are Android 7.1 Future apps will be designed for Android 7.1 so by purchasing a box with the current version of Android it is going to be more compatible in the future although all 3 OS will give you plenty of apps that work and will be compatible for a long time to come

One more thing on Ram most boxes have DDR3 a newer Ram is DDR4 at the time of writing all the boxes I sell have DDr3 except MeCool m8s Pro which has DDR4 And this is an excellent box and 1 I do recommend.

I hope this helps a bit any questions please ask and I will do my best to help

First, make sure you have the Tv antenna connected to the back of the MeCool Kii

Next Open the DTV player you will see a pop that says No channels do you wish to scan cancel this.

Then press the menu button on the remote to bring up the menu and you want to go into DTV Preferences. There go into general settings and select DVB T/T2 here you need to change the area setting to your country in my case it is Australia then press exit X3 to go back to the menu.

You then go to installation and pick DVB T/T2 then auto search and start let the scan run this may take a bit of time once it is completed your tv stations and radio will be set up.

For some reason, the TV picture did not record on the recorder I used but the picture is perfect and the EPG works. Remember this is the same as watching TV through your TV
