@RRaoD, some points:
Question for WeTek if they are reading:
- When are you going to offer a WeTek Play2 without a DVB Tuner option ?
- Why - well you have a decent box with Optical Output built in, but don't offer potential purchasers the option of just a Play2 without a tuner.
- Easiest devices to use = proper Android TV OS devices (Shield / Mi Box) or ones running LibreELEC Kodi
- Optical output built in = Mi Box or ASUS Chromebox.
- USB 3.0 is not needed for playing files from HDD's. The USB2.0 bus has more than enough capacity.
- External powered HDD's are more reliable when connecting multiple drives to Android boxes.
- As @hdmkv said and I've observed, AC WiFi on properly designed boxes is all you need for full ISO Bluray Rips streaming. The Mi Box is fine.
- ASIX chipset USB > GigaE / USB Hub's adapters are the ones that work with the Mi Box. Such as the Simplecon CHN410 (ASIX88179)
- Wireless WiFi or Bluetooth remotes are much preferred over Infra Red. I personally use a WiFi MINIX A2 Lite - Mini Keyboard remote across multiple devices. Quality remote. Works really well.
- Stay away from cheap touchscreen Android OS devices. They are only any good for running LibreELEC Kodi on them.
- Amazon reviews generally are either paid for Advertisements or reviewed by Newbs without a clue.
- You have come to the right place here on the Kodi forums to get the correct device !
