Question when adding & reformatting SD card to internal storage then recording live tv from Iptv will recordings store on SD card or only to shared internal storage?
WOT BOX TV - NO BULLSHIT REVIEWS! Excelent review, loved the question/answer format, and you sold me on the product, just ordered it locally for 60 euros here in Greece.
Got both of these on my desk in front of me right now.... so very little to chose between the two tbh. What seals it for me is the You Box's write-to-removable drive capability, something that was maybe the only fault in the KM2
Yeah, i hear ya. Not a huge problem though, good enough for 4k streaming (both Netflix and Prime recommend a 25mbps speed) - unless of course you need more speed for downloading other files, in which case the wifi will pull about twice that.
Great start . 🤣🤣🤣. Great detailed review Though, be perfect for the right user. 👍👍. Maybe it’ll come to the states soon. 🤷🏻♂️. We’ll keep an eye on it
The little bit of storage would definitely give it a step up n. But agree loving the Km2 still being used daily. No storage necessary strictly streaming. And on WiFi 👍 laughs for the beginning & the end 🤣🤣. And great stuff in the middle all in all a great review of this device. 👌. Looking forward to the future reviews as well
Thank you so much for your brilliant review and clearing out this Djungle of Android TV boxes. I understand YOU BOX and Nokia 8000 are very similar. Would the main difference be 1 extra USB 2.0 connection, SD card reader and less advanced remote control without backlit for the YOU BOX? Which of those 2 boxes would you recommend?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I missed the RUclips notification. Yep, you're right about the difference in ports which i feel is enough to swing it in favour of the Youin Box given that performance is pretty much identical.
Good to see budget boxes are getting much better & their remotes. (Shame you can't use mapper on some buttons but hey hoo) Some of the remotes I've had over years on budget Chinese boxes have been terrible. Another great vid on a solid budget box competitor to Google's Chromecast TV. "no bullshit technology" animation - luv it ;-)
Yep, the Google reference remote (same as on the Mecool KM2) is a winner. I got the Chromecast with Google TV at launch in September last year and liked it a lot despite the need to buy a (compatible) hub to be able to add extra storage. However, since then I've been smitten by moth the KM2 and this delight. Very little difference between them, though I prefer the You Box by a hair. But seriously you can't go wrong with either of them. The boot animation is cracking!
It worked for me.... One of my wifi tests was via my StreamLocator hub (5g) and that worked albeit not as stable as when connected to the ethernet port
@@joeblogs6415 yeah, i hear you. There are definitely 2 camps on the "use wifi or use ethernet" debate. Personally I always prefer to go ethernet for stability, but understand that for others it's not possible or inconvenient, All devices here at home (2 Shields, KM2, Chromecast with Google TV and 2 TiVo Stream 4Ks) are hardwired, though as I say, that's a personal choice for each individual. The inabillity to write to external storage was a disappointment. (my way round that is to send to google Drive and then download else where---bit of a hassle frankly) An alternative you might want to look at is the Youin You Box - that one does allow USB writing. otherwise very similar to this KM2 ruclips.net/video/h3oz5nYvSAg/видео.html
Añado comentario despues de tener 3 meses el dispositivo. Tiene fallos de software. algunas aplicaciones se cuelgan de vez en cuando. Muchos videos de youtuve se entrecortan. Siempre los mismos. Se ve que no le siente bien alguna codificacion determinada usada en yt. El microfono ha dejado de funcionar. Vamos una compra desastrosa no lo recomiendo para nada!!!!...
Es curioso. Yo no he tenido ninguno de los problemas que comentas con solo cuatro semanas (pero un uso bastante intensivo). Puede que recibieras un ejemplo defectuoso?
@@WOTBoxTV mira este es uno de los videos que se entrecortan. Pasa con muchos. ruclips.net/video/cgEnBkmcpuQ/видео.html utilizo mucho el box para ponerle videos a la niña. Hbo tb da muchos problemas muchas veces da tirones y otras al cambiar de capítulo se ve todo negro.

@@WOTBoxTV pues no lo se pero si dices que a ti se te reproduce bien. Intentare que me lo cambien por si esta defectuoso. No he tocado nada de configuración de resolucion ni nada.
The best review on this unit so far. Do you know if its possible to share data using Windows samba (Hard drive plugged in the youin) via wifi? Also if its possible to install radarr and sonarr
I haven't ried and unfortunately no longer have the device so can't test. I was able to share files and folders using the wifi server option on the x-plore app. This works to share with other android devices, phones etc and also to connect to PCs using a browser - I use it frequently with ALL my devices to share files and folders etc...
You Box is better - but it IS very close! BOTH boxes are very good vale and performance in general is the same. For me, You Box wins because you can transfer files to external storage (USB). Every other aspect of performance and use is more or less the same.
Thanks a lot for this video. We went ahead and chose this model. We are experiencing issues with the ethernet not working on the box. Anybody had similar issues with it?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - RUclips notification didn't get through. Assuming you0ve tried a different ethernet cable, and you've hard reset your router and You Box, then the next step may be a full factory reset.
@@melvynwarner3087 odd because I had ITV Hub, BBC iplayer and All4 working on this... I've since given it away. But all those apps were sourced from the code I mentioned above (and I have them on my Mecool KM2 - all working fine). I think ITV Hub and iPlayer are on the Play Store if you're in the UK. Others, like All4, My5 etc may not be as they're made for phone use (though might* work on Android TV).... it's up to Channel 4 etc to make an Android TV app, but they choose not to. Freeview were threatening an imminent app a couple of years ago, but it never materialised. You could always try casting from phone to the device
Looks good man, especially with its Netflix certification 👍
thanks, it's a pretty capable all rounder. Like this one a lot!

Like the new format with one liner and the bloopers at the end...dead pan Free Tech style . Good looking box.
Thanks Nick, appreciate your support once again!
Nice vid!! Also the thumbnail is so good!!
cheers matey!
Great video mate thanks 👍
Thanking you good sir! Appreciated

Qui est le mieux en terme de processeur et de résolution d'image entre mecool km2 et youin tv
@@leghfiriomar5013 little to no difference - resolution is same, dependant on app and source
Great looking Device 👍😎 Thanks for the Review
Thanks again for your long time support! 👍 👍
Great Stuff keep them coming !! 👮♀️🤣
Cheers mate! Your continued support is greatly appreciated!
Looks nice, a definite Mecool KM2 competitor.

a shame that the ethernet port is only 100mbps

Can someone help me ?
this box DOES NOT SUPPORT 5g NETWORKS IN 2021
It worked for me.... One of my wifi tests was via my StreamLocator hub (5g) and that worked albeit not as stable as when connected to the ethernet port
@@WOTBoxTV i mean having to rely on an Ethernet cable in 2021 ,if only writing to usb was posable on the shield pro or sd card on the regular shield.

Yes, I wouldn't expect as manu updates as the Shield, time will tell.
Mecool KM2 or Youin You Box ?
You Box is better - but it IS very close! BOTH boxes are very good vale and performance in general is the same.
For me, You Box wins because you can transfer files to external storage (USB). Every other aspect of performance and use is more or less the same.
Does it support Arabic?
Qui est le mieux en terme de processeur et de résolution d'image entre mecool km2 et youin tv?!?
Is that wifi test on 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
that was on the 5ghz wifi on the StreamLoacator hub
Thanks a lot for this video. We went ahead and chose this model. We are experiencing issues with the ethernet not working on the box. Anybody had similar issues with it?

Assuming you0ve tried a different ethernet cable, and you've hard reset your router and You Box, then the next step may be a full factory reset.
can you access recent apps?
Is the itv hub available on this box?
you'll have to sideload it as it's not on Play Store
try the filesynced app with code 88888888
Thanks for that but they don't work. It's a shame UK TV apps aren't on the play store as obviously there very popular.
@@melvynwarner3087 odd because I had ITV Hub, BBC iplayer and All4 working on this... I've since given it away. But all those apps were sourced from the code I mentioned above (and I have them on my Mecool KM2 - all working fine).

You could always try casting from phone to the device
