Hi futeko,
the last FW update is from 2015-11-10. An other company released 5 updates since that date.
HiMedia knows that the H8 customers are tortured by the serious AV-synch bug and other things.
My wish were that HiMedia think about their update politic in this early/buggy FW phase.
They decide to sell a media-player with an very early FW, then the next logical step is to release new FW also early.
The feeling that I got when I read in forums, people which have problems feel more helped if the company react in short time. I share this feeling.
Actually the people recommend to buy X6pro because it is working better since one month and people see that the manufacturer working full speed to fix bugs.
From the hardware aspect I can recommend H8 against X6. But the second or bigger key point is the firmware!
I think people forgive a careless mistake in a rapidly released FW if this fixes big bugs and if the careless mistake are fixed also fast (Read the Zidoo forum for example 1.0.26 (Debug prints fill the flash:-) -> 1.0.27).
I wrote this not to start a discussion or to bother you, please forward this opinion to HiMedia and tell the managers to have a look in forums what makes the customers angry or happy.
And at least, can you please tell us kindly, when can we expect a new FW version to have a synchronous start in 2016?
