Need an Android TV box with DVB T-2. Tired of Amazon Fire. Suggestions?

Hi all!
I've been using Amazon Fire TV for a while. It's a good machine, but I'm tired of them blocking Kodi/Firestarter, introducing ads, and refusing to fix bugs and provide support if you have Kodi installed. I also want something that's got DVB T-2 built in.
Requirements:
- Android
- Fast & good image quality/rendering
- NO FAN
- DVB T-2 built in
- Good quality & simple remote like the Fire TV one, or the possibility of adding it separately
I mostly use it for streaming, playing local videos, Netflix, Amazon music.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
:fingers-crossed:

Hi there, I just got my hands on a KII Pro TV Box 2G 16G Android 5.1 Amlogic S905 Quad-core 4K*2K 2.4G&5G Wifi Bluetooth 4.0 Androidtvbox from alibaba. It's the best spec I could find on a DVB-T2 tuner box, also has DVB-S2 tuner.
Not too much info on it around the web and the sellers of these types of boxes here in Ireland seem to still be selling last years models.
It's running Android 5.1.1, 16gb of storage of which 10gb are available, 2gb of ram, 4 USB ports, a wireless keyboard (which has a very poor touch pad) and an IR remote control. It comes rooted and has kodi 16 preinstalled which I had to uninstall it completely to be able to get kodi 17 on there.
Another little annoyance with it was the DTV app that is used to control the DTV t2 and s2 when I was first setting it up I couldn't find anything for the with the DTV t2 automatic scan and this kept saying it was scanning for Europe and it doesn't look like there is any options but on the IR remote there is a menu button and clicking this brought up the settings to be able to pick what region and other options, once I changed to uk it picked up the channels. On other thing is that you need to come out of the DTV app to switch between t2 and s2.
So far so good for my needs but only have it since last Friday so not sure about shelf life. Below is a link to where I bought it plus some photos of what came in the package and the interface. Also it has PVR but I've yet to test this. Image quality is really good but I'm coming from a dreambox for my dvb s2 which didn't support hd channels.

And these are the units connections.
The questions i am left with after 2 weekends research:
Do you have normally root access to these units, at minimum wane install a firewall, but a upgrade path would be nice.
Can you install different ROMs?
Unit comes with a Toyota cable set, are these standard connections for all normal Toyota models. (Have a Avensis 2007 / model type T25)
Can i keep using the controls on the wheel, or do i need a extra box?
Can you record 2 USB DVR streams at the same time on the unit? (would be nice extra)
Are the USB DAB+ dongles similar in quality, or is it, you get what you pay for.
Lots of questions, but Android car is not your standard PnP drop in unit.
Any questions people can help me with would be appreciated, greetings Michael

Question Finally got my preorder ... is AA bad for everyone else?!

Holy smokes... Android Auto is driving me crazy nuts on this S22 Ultra. Tried the offical cable from my Note9, and two expensive aftermarket ones and all 3 display a laggy, mess.
Trying to use Waze and Android Auto as a whole is unbearable on this flagship phone.
So much so, I've poped my sim back in my Note9 and thats doing the business.
Has anyone else got a lag-free S22 Ultra experience? (I'm in Australia btw)

I haven't had any issues, nor have my peers. Have you tried a fresh factory reset with no restoration of apps, just to rule out software?

Hmm, strange your is working and mines utter crap. I'm def not alone, as after posting i did some googling;

Rubbish.

UK here. Never had any issues. Tried with different cars and always worked perfectly.

Hmm... I'm going to flash both OPS (Optus) and XSA (Unlocked) firmware from samfw and see if either of them fix it before rooting again.

No issues with it plugged in or with a Motorola MA1. Only issues with Android Auto I have had were from AA wireless and the Motorola MA1 fixed that

I'm attempting to update my 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line's software in the car as a last resort -- but it went in for a service less than a month ago and they did it then...so not sure there'll be any good news.

i using a cheap Huawei Mate10pro as Android Auto and it works perfect. Stored in glovebox and forgot about it.
S22Utra as main business phone

I've been using the S22U on my 2018 VW Atlas with no problems at all.

Running it in a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus with AAWireless. No issues.

Mine's fine with a Kenwood head unit.

I'm not having problems with AA in my 2017 Opel. Had a few issues at the beginning, but those were related to the used cable. The cable I used for my previous phone (Huawei P20 Pro) was a Huawei SuperCharge / USB 3.0 compatible cable of I'd say at least decent quality. The S22 Ultra didn't want to connect at all using that cable. Switching to a chinesium cheap USB Type C to A cable that came with some gadget results in a stable connection and okay charging speed.

You need to select a different Peugeot model within the settings and experiment which works best. I have a 308 (2009) and for me the best is the 408 model, even though there is a 308, it's not great.

Tried all settings and still the same problem
I tried to change the can bus and bought 3 types of rzc - xp - hiworld and it still not works
I tried to install the old radio to make sure that the multimedia is working and really working
So far I have not been able to find a solution to the problem, and the strange thing is that it was working at the beginning of my purchase of the device and stopped working two days later

@surfer63 I hope you will find a solution to this problem

No, I don't have one. CANbuses per car are really specific, there is no general approach here (and I have a Skoda Octavia, a VAG type car, which is not even close to your PSA concern car)

Thank you for your reply
Do you think that the problem could be in the device’s software and are there ways to find out the main cause?

Have you solved your problem? My issue is that since installing my new Xtrons unit I am receiving multiple Can Bus errors in my van itself. They seem random but I have read that wiring issues in the head unit can short the CAN creating systemwide errors. My plan is to test bypassing the CAN BUS entirely for now.

Question Joying Bluetooth connection problems?

Hi, I have a Joying 10.1" SKU JY-UQS10N4G-H which is running android 12, my problem is certain Bluetooth devices just won't connect to it, there are obviously some restrictions made by Joying, would any of you knowledgeable people here know why this is and any way to make the connection?

Are there any workarounds for this model? Is there an app that would allow me to create a widget for system Bluetooth settings?

Wrong forum apparently, so mods can you please delete this one, thanks!

Read the thread "Does Bluetooth only reconnect to the last device used?"
It will give you the info you want.

Well, it seems I can't do right, first I post in the Android general head unit section, then I am told that it's the wrong section, so I am pointed here so made the posts here, and I also asked if a mod could delete the old posts, as I couldn't see a way? But nobody has, and now I am wrong to do this!
Having read through the "Does Bluetooth only reconnect to the last device used?" I can't see anything that relates to the Joying units, they are known to cripple Bluetooth, so only selected devices are recognised, my unit runs the latest firmware and I have now been able to change any BT setting with apps that are supposed to give access?

Thank you!

Then you should read more . All Joying, Mekede/NaviFly, T'eyes , Atoto (some) and many more units are FYT units. They all behave the same. So yes, it also relate to the Joying units.

What about topway ts10 model, is that FYT?

Nope.
Topway/TS are other manufacturers of similar units with the exact same ums512 7862 SoC.
They use very different firmware to FYT and are not compatible at all.
