I have not found much on this device. Months ago it looked really promising, but now I'm getting kinda worried its just another device not getting the attention it deserves. Only time will tell.
I think they did a little over advertising, or false advertising. Netflix HD, Lubuntu, are things that I read into as already provided features, but not everyone seems to get that result.

I see a lot of people not getting Netflix HD. Or not getting the advertised 24p. My TV doesn't do HD audio so I'm not bothered by that. I just want HD at 24p so I can take advantage of my 1080p/24 TV.
More than advertised? Everything delivered so far was part of the advertising and some features not yet delivered. Wetek execs told lots of media folks that there would be a bunch of different operating systems to dual boot with Android. I just thought that meant out of the box, not a year or so later. But please don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about it and I still think this is my best option at this time. I just read into the advertising as features already available, not ones that I probably, maybe can look forward to. Make sense? That's why I asked cnx software to edit their articles to remove certain statements so as to not confuse any more consumers.
EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say is this device looks and feels like it is more of a developers (wetek) beta "intro" device, and the real Core, with all the features implemented at release will be CORE v2. Maybe with S905-H or S912-H (bring it on please, lol). That is the feeling I am getting.

As long as you download app from Google Play store I am sure you will see HD playback and yes , working in 24p which was discussed many times here, very simple.

If I do not use my VPN during Netflix playback I always get a minute or so while trying to ramp up to 1080p with multiple drops to crap 240p per hour. Its been like that on all my streaming devices, with some not ever even making it to 1080p, such as my WDTV Live. However, on the PC and on my Nexus Player it is near instant 1080p the moment the stream starts, so long my VPN is active. Its been like that on my ISP for years now (the only ISP in my area). I assume it is called ISP throttling, but no one admits my ISP does that, so I can only guess that is what is happening. I can only get decent connections from Netflix CDN's located in California as well. Go figure. On PIA (until Netflix started blocking their IP's) it was instant HD and maintained that HD 24/7 with never a hiccup. Now I am using NordVPN (because they have official dedicated Netflis VPN servers), and it seems to be similar, with near instant 1080p. I hope I get the same result from the Core, with the added bonus of 24hz.
So sick and tired of trying to get HD streaming on a 60/30 ISP account without needing to use tricky methods, special apps, etc, to do so. Wish I could go to sleep and not wake up until every connection on Earth is a minimum of 1 Gbps, up and down, lmao, would be nice. Maybe we wont be experiencing streaming issues then? That's what I get for buying 5 acres of land in a rural part of the world :/
