Because I've tested this modded Android TV Netflix App on the Core, Hub and Play2 and there is NO 5.1 Audio icon like I would see on my Android smart TV running the Android TV version of Netflix as well.
I am not sure. I'll try testing this out.

sneezing is probably a violation of Netflix's terms of use :P

Personal preference more than anything, but makes you wonder when the biggest forum on Wetek's site is about people wanting to install Android TV apps on the device. They should bite the bullet and at least offer an official firmware for both normal Android or Android TV.
If at all possible, sure. There are some things that are basically a faux Android TV, but real full blown Android TV requires Google's specific blessing.
IMO, it's less about wanting just to run Android TV apps. There's already devices out there that will do this, and there are more on the way. It's more like "Android TV apps" + "something else". That could be a TV tuner+recording, dual booting options, supported rooting, custom home launchers, and all sorts of other things that other ATV devices currently don't provide.

Another slight issue if I thought I'd raise if anybody else has experienced it.
It seems that when hardwired to my ethernet, the Wetek core buffers regularly on youtube, every video seems to buffer even when I lower the resolution. I have virgin media 100Mbps with super hub 3 and I have no problems with youtube playing on my mobile over Wi-Fi and also youtube on my Preyda android box I have upstairs and that is only running at 50Mbps over Wi-Fi, so I am a little lost as to why this is happening.
Any potential fixes? This never happened when I first bought the box and has only been over the last month, when i do a speed test when hardwired it always shows I'm running at over 100Mbps..

Just about to buy a Wetek box as I recently got rid of my Cable TV.
Will be primarily using this box for:
-Kodi
-Netflix HD
-Streaming Rips under 10GB from my NAS/ External HDD (Mostly 1080P, eventually 4K when I get my new TV)
I will be running this over a 200mb Internet connection.
Just wondering which is the best box Wetek have to offer, I was looking at the Core on Amazon but I noticed they have a 'Streamer 4K' listed for the same price. Which is the in theory the best box they have ?

The Streamer is for commercial customers and lacks some of the DRM certifications and such. They're meant to be sold to businesses for things such as digital signage, local IPTV solutions, etc.
Either the Core or the Hub are good options. The Core is a little bit better CPU wise, if you don't care about video stuff like better HEVC support. If you want better HEVC support, get the Hub.

Have you tried the regular Google play version of YouTube from the Playstore ?
The one packaged with WeTek devices is the is the D-Pad friendly Android TV OS version.

Hold down the Middle remote button. Stop the YouTube App and clear the Cache's would be my suggestion if not done so already.
