Ok I am not sure what you mean but I am no expert. The TVIX uses a sigma chipset which is said to not support flash. Realtek 1185 had no flash support but the 1186 does as used in the new Xtreamer Prodigy. If it was a software limitation then Realtek could program around it but they did not, released revised chipset instead.
My FV-1 has no problem playing flash videos and catch up tv and I understand it is Samsung based but my Geniatech cannot although I know they are working on it.
Which catchup TV website you are testing with?I have tried lots of their firmwares. The firmwares that have full market access are the worse with no catchup tv support. These have flash 10.2 Froyo built in which cannot be updated changed as I suspect that is the problem.
I have also tried several versions of the standard firmware all of which can access catchup tv but are very jerky as to be unwatchable. I have also changed the browser setting from Ipad to desktop etc. with little to no affect. Geniatech have advised me that they are working on the problem and a new firmware will be released in the next few weeks.
Interestingly they sent me a table of someone elses testing in Australia of different firmwares and settings for catchup tv so as I say they are geniune in trying to fix the problem.
In short time Geniatech will releases Android v2.3
Well, did you tested it? Was it ok? Did it work?
Hmm GeeXboX use BusyBox and Geniatech ATV boxes use Uboot bootloader. So first step is change the bootloader to BusyBox, then we can port ATV.
I have upgraded my ATV1000 with the new firmware released on 2011 09 09
but I'm having only problems linked (I suppose) to the inbuilt presence of
flash media player 10.2 not upgradeable to newest versions.
Before this upgrade, videos were very fast (with FlashPlayer.v10.3.186.3) so I ask how and where can I find a firmware (older) that gives the possibility to install and upgrade flash media player, (I'm not able to enter in http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/Androidtvbox/)
Thanks to everyone
Thanks szemo77, but if you could explain, step by step, what to do I will understand better

It's the same for me, too. At this time we can't enter (I hope only temporarly),It looks like Geniatech have blocked access to their website directory I cant see their downloads anymore or it just me ?
Hi arun5555, I have an ATV1000 (basic version of ATV2000) and quietlyhi,
i want to buy this product, i want some clarifications
1. it's play 1080p movies smoothly formats like mkv
2. play you tube hd smoothly
3. play online iptv smoothly.
guys my english very bad,
please reply i don't have knowledge in these players, please reply after ur answers, i put my order in asiapads.
thanks
Comes from India, undertesting.@arun5555
In the meantime, I have found other applications for iptv and live video streaming, that are:
SpbTV, Tv Flash, Justin.tv, Ustream, StreamMediaPlayer and VPlayer.
-SpbTv v.2.1 and TvFlash v0.9.96.2 are similar to TVUplayer (but without time restrictions or subscription)
and they make us to watch many iptv channels (not in hd resolution)
-Justin.tvPlayer v2.02 and Ustream v1.9.1 are applications that give the possibility to watch live cam
and live transmissions from around the world
-StreamMediaPlayer v3.2.3 and VPlayer v0.9.9 are media players with which is possible to play iptv and audio/video streams, inserting in URL search, a correct ip address (http, rtsp).
I think that if you buy it, you will remain satisfied.
I haven't already tested this application, but surely it should be interesting.Comes from India, undertesting.
Hi all, I hope that you will accept me in this thread, I have a neoniQ Android intelligent TV Box which is made by Geniatech and they have confirmed with me that it is the ATV1000 released for Australia.
I have a problem that I would appreciate help with, I am trying to Update the Firmware. Geniatech have given me a link for the download, and that I should download it to my PC, then copy to an SD Card then rename the download to update.zip.
I should then disconnect the Power supply to the Box insert the SD Card, then press and keep the reset button pressed whilst connecting the power supply again to the box. This I have done numerous times, it scolls through the sequence and then the screen stops with the following error message :

If anyone can help, I would be very gratefull, the lady at support at Geniatech is very good, but has not come up with the answer yet, so I am hoping that someone with an ATV1000 has the solution. many thanks.
If your device is an ATV1000 100%, then update20110909.zip and update20110804.zip (that you find inside this thread) must be installed easily, otherwise, this means that (probably) you need an australian version of the firmware.Hi all, I hope that you will accept me in this thread, I have a neoniQ Android intelligent TV Box which is made by Geniatech and they have confirmed with me that it is the ATV1000 released for Australia.
