Hopefully a little faster.
I'm curious. What did you guys installed to this tv box? Any suggestions?
Been there, done that. Only solution I could find, was to create a firmware update SD card, and have the unit update firmware. I'll keep that SD card safe! Had to try 3 different computers, before I managed to find one where SDTool worked.I restarted my TV Box and it got stuck at Android logo. It never opens.
Well, the FV-1 is supposed to play HD video. However, it only outputs 1024x600 AFAIK. Might be the same with this device?I also bought another Rockchip RK2918
Just wonder why the output HD video quality is not HD at all, though it plays very smoothly for 1080p mkv file. Any way to set output quality?

Well, yes, as SDTool waits for the SD card to be inserted in a SD card reader (built in or USB adapter) on the computer.Do I need to have a sd card reader?
From your description, it seems like the box isn't detecting the SD card as a firmware update card...10. Insert the SD card into your Android TV. If your Android TV is already powered on, unplug your Android TV and then plug it back to restart your Android TV. Then the upgrading will start automatically. If your Android TV is off, just power it on, then the upgrading will start automatically.
11. The upgrading takes about 5 minutes. During the upgrading process, the green LED indicator on your Android TV stays on. When the upgrading is complete, the green light flashes. If the upgrading fails, the light turns off.
12. Remove the SD card from your Android TV. Unplug your Android TV and then plug it back to restart your Android TV.
