Yeah I'm out as well cause I'm not paying 44$ for shipping, that's half the price of the device itself.
I really don't understand why only use express shipping outside of Europe, I mean what's wrong with regular airmail?

It's $33 US to Canada as well. DHL and FedEx charge a fair chunk for shipping. It's the same shipping charge for me no matter which device I select.
Given the shortcoming of the current Hub remote is the Core the better purchase here or does the Hub hardware make up for it??

Hi guys,
I'm trying to catch up reading this thread. I'm only up to page five so far, but since I just received the email notice that the device was available, I placed my order immediately. I currently own an Intel i3 Chromebox with Openelec and have never owned a Wetek product before, so this is all brand new to me. I have much to learn.
From what I've read in the past day, the primary OS is Android (regular and not Android TV) and you have the option of running a dual boot of Openelec from the miroSDcard... correct?
1. I thought we would be provided with an option to buy a better remote at checkout? I wasn't given an option.
2. My Chomebox is a speed demon with Openelec. How's the performance of Openelec on this device running off an sdcard? Any complaints or also acceptable?
3. I'm a huge advocate of torrents therefore I will need a large microSDcard to run Openelec... Anyone know the size limit?
4. I'm also an HD audio junkie when it comes to watching my movie content so please keep in mind that this box will be connected to a 7.1 a/v receiver setup.
Are there any pros/cons of running Kodi from Android instead of Openelec? Do you recommend one over the other? I believe I read somewhere that the Kodi version installed on android OS is modded or tweaked (?)
4. if you have any recommendations or good reads to suggest for a newbie on Wetek Hub I would greatly appreciate it. (specially the potential fork version of Openelec for the Wetek Hub... that sounds interesting!)
Thank you all in advance and I look forward to testing this new box! (o:

WeTek don't even list where I live (Hong Kong) in the checkout fields, very disappointing.
EDIT: no countries in Asia at all are listed. (Australia doesn't count)
thank in advance
Exactly. I'm now considering the Core as an option. Tough call. There are a lot of other boxes out there but they don't have the quality or the support so I'm not overly upset about the shipping fee.
