The television box used at home was an enhanced version of the millet box 2 bought two years ago. At that time, the price was 299 yuan and basically met the requirements. Two years later, Xiaomi MiUI successfully upgraded to AdUI, which also fixes the bug that the old device can still run smoothly. The current box has become increasingly unbearable: there is advertising on the startup, there is an advertisement on the open application, and the machine sleeps to wake up After the ad. The new system has added a more cool so-called PatchWall, known as unlimited content. Later, it was discovered that the content actually came from various video applications, such as Tencent video, iQiyi, etc. The key is that even if you install these apps yourself, PatchWall cannot be called, it will download and install another version that can only be invoked by itself. This undoubtedly makes the limited storage space worse. The box also continuously reports the warning of insufficient space, which greatly affects the use. So we think it's time for another box.

As a non-rice non-metrical consumer, I have a good impression on many of Xiaomi's products, especially Mi Jia's products, and their product exquisiteness, humanity and convenience are all very good. But choosing the millet box will undoubtedly be like this, and boot advertising is not to be avoided. So on the Internet to find out if there is any other better choice.

According to the information I found, the feeling can basically be divided into two major factions: one is a box made by an emerging Internet company, such as a millet box, a Huawei glory box, and the other is a product of a veteran player, such as Haimeidi and Kaibol. Wait. The former is characterized by the appearance of the product is exquisite fashion, operation in line with modern habits, but the hardware performance is not optimistic about the hardcore HD players, the interface is not rich, gameplay is limited, and almost inevitable boot advertising. The appearance of the latter is slightly old-fashioned (individual), and the appearance of the product is generally designed. All services are provided for functions and performance. Selecting this way is very difficult, because I am a member of the Association for the appearance, but I want it to work... It is really a difficult choice. So how does the song of God's God sing, "There's no such thing, like a female with good who who cooks and cleans."

When hesitated, he saw a new version of Jingdong Shanghai Meidi H7 four generations, known as the "Platinum Edition." Compared with the previous H7 generation, the memory was reduced (16G became 8G, and there was another SD card slot, so it was enough), and the Bluetooth remote control was replaced by an infrared remote control. So it is reasonable to reduce the useless configuration to save costs. In addition to booking some purchase discounts, he decided to give preference to practical orders.

At the time when the first booking was made, the order was reduced by 20 yuan, and there was an evaluation of the sun list. I wrote some beautiful words in the comments. I even won the first prize and returned 100 yuan, so the final equivalent of 279 yuan. . Therefore, Jingdong commented that everyone should refer to it properly. Although "recharged," Aunt Zhang will still evaluate it objectively as much as possible.

The outer box is a hard box of kraft paper.

After opening it appears a bit rough.

The body is made of silver metal material, and the metal texture is good, but it is a bit bulky. The industrial atmosphere is strong and the atmosphere is not enough. Whether it is beautiful or not, I personally feel more ugly. And I don't understand why this long antenna should stick out. Don't you know that you will block the TV? You're not a router. You're just a TV box!

Compared with the original millet box, a bold and unrestrained style is a gentle and stylish contrast.

Behind the interface is very rich, even the audio output of the fiber has more than a lot of millet box.

The two sides are the SD card slot and two USB 2.0 jacks.

The antenna can be folded into multiple angles.

A large collection of everything inside the package:

Have to say that the remote control is more ugly, it seems that for the value of color, Haimei Di really broke the jar. But learning TV remote control is really very practical. It is a dilemma. Supplied with remote control battery. The battery compartment cover has a loss-proof connection, which is well received.

After connecting the TV and booting, enter the first time use setting interface:

The settings are very simple, and the main interface is completed after completion. Have to say this main interface is really... ugly! The aesthetic of the entire interface design stayed in the pre-iOS 7 era. And the first line of the first page of the TV stills is not high-definition, are all vague... The degree of beauty is far less than those polymerization apps.

The system of the box is based on Android, and it is clearly imperfectly packaged. It often enters Android's underlying settings interface.

Use your own speed test to try the wireless connection. Beijing Unicom 100M broadband speed, this speed looks pretty good.

Follow the trend and run no points, so there are no eggs...

Everyone was too ugly to take it, and it was decided that the sofa table and Kodi were installed decisively.

↑ Kodi interface

The initial use, feel good performance parameters, normal play without flaws. But the overall feeling is like the big job of a college student: Some functions are realized, but there is no aesthetic design that a commercial product should have. Just like a DIY air detector I bought before, with a good sensor, with good accuracy, but the rough appearance, bare circuit, feels like an industrial semi-finished product:

After a period of use, the advantages and disadvantages of this box have been discovered more.

The player comes with a subtitle search function and image quality adjustment. This is a feature that has been strongly requested by H7 four generations of users. It has finally been added. In the built-in player, a shortcut key on the remote controller can be used to call out subtitles, audio tracks and other menus, which is very convenient. However, the shortcuts in Kodi are useless. The built-in player plays the Blu-ray original disk from the USB port without pressure, and the jump is very fast.

With the added shortcut for the player, the name shows the full path instead of the file name. At a glance, you never know which is which. My four folders are called Movie, TV, Documentary and Japanese Drama. Its display effect lets you feel it:

快捷 The name of the shortcut in the built-in player uses the full path and it is hard to tell which is which

After playing a file, Kodi's playback point waited several tens of seconds to start playing, and the experience was slightly worse. I don't know why Kodi is the cause of the firmware. Did not reflect the powerful hardware performance.

The box has no hibernation function. If you press the box shutdown button, it will show "Shutdown" and then shut down completely. You must wait half a minute before entering the desktop for the next startup. If you just press the TV off button, the TV will turn off and the box will still run without sleep, which will consume heat and heat. And because there are two off keys on the remote control, it is easy to press wrong.

Screencast uses a pre-installed third-party App to solve. Shooting screens must first open the "Play music screen" application in order to perform screencasting. Most iOS devices can only mirror and screen the screen, ie they must play on the phone at the same time. Poor use experience.

Just boot without ads. With other apps, such as Tencent videos, there will still be advertisements. Including the box comes with video sources seem to have. Of course, this is not a box problem. However, the box has not yet found a valid root method, so it is impossible to advertise itself and prohibit the startup of the self-provided program. Attempts to 360 root, KingRoot, and so on are invalid, and installing adb to debug the remote root also fails. In addition, in this post it is mentioned that the teardown machine is connected with TTL lines and root succeeds, but it is too complicated. Not root may be a very big disadvantage for some players.

The box comes with the Thunder download feature. However, after the opening of the QR code, the scan code jumped to the App Store, a non-Thunder official app called “Family Cloud”. It was very strange. I did not continue to use it.

扫 Scan code and jump to “Family Cloud” and it is a personally developed application

In addition, the same infrared remote control, sensitivity and receivable angle than the remote control of the millet box 2 poor. The angle cannot be received by the general meeting, sometimes the button does not respond.

After a long-term experience, the previous feeling was strengthened. The hardware parameters and interface of this box are very high, and the performance is relatively hard core. However, from the perspective of product aesthetics and humanity, there is a wide gap between the products of Internet companies like Xiaomi and Huawei. If you only care about the playback experience, you need to think twice if you care about the experience.

advantage

High hardware parameters, support 4k decoding, HDR 10bit and other high-definition playback capabilities, local playback Blu-ray original disk is also smooth

Boot without ads

Remote control learning function, you can save TV remote control

Shortcomings

Appearance ugly, interface ugly

Can't root. Can't go to App ads, can't disable self application

It's difficult to distinguish the built-in player shortcut named

Screencast function available, but not humane

No sleep function, cold boot slow

All functions are implemented using third-party applications, feeling very unprofessional

Copper Flex Membrane Switches

Copper Flex Membrane Switch panels can be produced using polyester or polyimide (Kapton) as the base material, depending on your interface requirements. A very thin sheet of copper is laminated to the flexible film substrate then chemically etched away, leaving copper traces. The etching process is not environmentally friendly due to the chemicals used, and is also more expensive than screen printing the silver traces used in Silver Flex Membrane Switches. Copper Flex switches can be constructed as:
Single-sided – conductive traces one side of the film substrate
Double-sided – conductive traces both sides of the film substrate
Multi-Layer flex – a laminated [sandwich" of numerous layers with conductive traces
Rigid-Flex – a laminated combination of a Copper Flex switch with a rigid FR4 PCB membrane switch
