Read the START HERE thread.
99% of AMLogic S912 boxes have 1080p colorspace issues resulting in dark video output, 5.1 DTS and HD Audio will not work, usually the Infra Red remotes are rubbish too, WiFi can be poor too on some boxes.
These types of problems have been going on for 8 months now on S912's
Don't believe all cheap android box advertising either. "Supported" does not mean everything works.
You will also get no after sales Firmware support and be lied to. This happens all the time and is very common.
Get a approx AUD$100 Xiaomi Mi Box - Model MDZ - 16 - AB
From Aliexpress or EBay Oz.
It gets Firmware supported and has none of the problems I listed above and comes with the best Wireless Voice remote going around. Much easier to use too.
Stay away from Rockchip boxes as well.
BIG TIP: stop looking only at Tech Specs. With Android after sales Firmware support is extremely important.

I believe the Xiaomi bot does not have an Ethernet connection is this true?
Can you recommend the best box with Ethernet around $150-$200?
Thanks
