    New firmware, no OpenElec option

    I wondered that too, but I dont see how that would be possible. I went into the OTA updater, following the instructions here (https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/t8-s-ota-update-31-10-2015/) Interestingly, when I got into Settings, other, it shows model number T8, whilst the underside of my Droidbox...

    Help with wifi speeds.

    No... there is no 5GHz channel as the Sky Hub isnt capable of 5GHz. Either way, Android will connect to the SSID as broadcast but the network, so there would be no option to connect specifically to 5GHz or 2.4GHz, that's down to the hub.

    I just tried something, I connected my T8-s to my 4G iPhone using personal hotspot, and got 30Mb/s, so it seems the problem isnt the box per se, I just think it has some problems with specific channels, likely 2.4GHz channels!

    Interesting. My Sky hub has no option to switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, however changing channels made no odds. I'm getting 0.6Mbit/s downstream but upstream just fine!

    No, it's not there, honest. This isnt about the shortcuts, the app isnt there.

    Help with wifi speeds.

    I'm tempted to just send it back. I'm disappointed in it, would have been better off buying another Amazon Fire Stick. Pointless if WiFi doesn't work.

    Help with wifi speeds.

    I just got mine today. WiFi is pitiful. From my MacBook I can get 30Mb/s on my 40Mb/s Sky connection. From my T8-S I get 2-3Mb/s max in the same room. No interference. Using Ethernet I get 30Mb/s.
