Hi,

In my brief testing with this unit so far this is what I have found.....

It is fast! The unit has no lag whatsoever and streaming movies through XBMC is flawless....no jerky motion or skips noticed with other units I've tried.

Yes.... It is HDMI 2

I cannot test the internet speed since my connection speed here is a paltry 3.0mbps, but the specs show it to be outstanding and I have no reason to doubt it....everything else is as the company has stated.

It has 3 UBS 2 ports and an OTG port as well. I would suggest that anyone who gets one of these also get a wireless keyboard or configure the blue tooth to use their phone or other device to control it....their remote is IR and the led is mounted low in the window of the unit...( I can change this easily), but right now I have to point the remote directly at the unit to have it function....with my usb keyboard I do not.

Video out is 4k x 2k... 3840 x 2160... There is a built in monitor for seeing data usage and speeds.... I'm seeing upwards of 60fps in much of my playback. I have not tried any MKV files yet, but the specs do not list that as a supported file structure so I can't give an honest answer on that yet. ( I will find out tonight though when I write the CEO of Ugoos.)

Netflix is a known problem and the company is working on it now. The program works, but seems to lack the buffer ability to make it work correctly. When I tried it the film tried to play immediately and did for a few moments, but then stalled because my download speeds are too slow.... This is something that I think they can deal with pretty easily once they incorporate a buffering system into the program.

The wifi range is outstanding and if you need more another antenna with higher gain can easily be installed....or an extension cable can also be used.

All in all I'd say the unit is not ready as a "plug and play" unit simply for the netflix problem, but I'm sure that's firmware and will be addressed quickly if they want to be able to sell these!

I'm quite impressed with it.....as to heat....it gets warm to the touch after running for hours, but not so much as to even consider it a problem....it's just a little warm....not hot.

I think the unit is a keeper....they layout is great and it has many more configuration settings that you can make than most other units....it seems to be very flexible in what you can do with it and I'm sure the netflix problem will not be there long.

I've been in touch with the CEO of the mother company overseas. He's quite a nice fellow....especially to take the time to communicate with me being the CEO of a company that large and knowing that I'm just an end user.

I plan on writing him this evening and asking about the Netflix problem and I'll also ask about MKV support.

For a new unit....it's capabilities far surpass it's shortcomings right now and none of this is hardware related. I believe a simple firmware update will alleviate the existing problems.

Did I say this unit is fast???? Good looking too with more inputs and outputs than any other unit I've seen. Incredible video out! I'm impressed and even though there are a couple of glitches, the OS and layout is clean, neat and easy to follow. I think this unit is going to be a real winner.

Here's your ethernet and wifi speed..

"Gigabit WiFi 802.11 ac

The biggest plus to the UT3 is its external WiFi antenna. This allows for a maximum Internet connection. The WiFi chip supports WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac. The N-band, the 5 GHz band, which is very fast and even 150Mbit / s can get. The wifi ac band in 2015 will apply by default. Theoretically, this wifi ac band 1.3 Gigabit per second must be able to retrieve. However, we expect the wifi ac band actually about 4 to 5 hundred Mbit / s will get. The Wifi AC band will only go wifi signal over the 5Ghz. The 5Ghz wifi signal is much faster, but unfortunately less rich width as the 2.4 ghz signaal. Ok is to connect via an internet cable, UT3 will always be slightly more stable than WiFi.

Gigabit Ethernet

The Ethernet port on this androidbox can reach speeds up to 1 gigabit per second pick (1,000,000,000 bits per second). Then you must get everything with rocket speed inside. 4K UHD"

It has been about an hour since I posted this and I just emailed the CEO of Ugoos to ask him about the Netflix fix, the Amaxon Prime...( which I have not had time to check), the DTS and the playing of MKV files.

Hopefully he will direct the message to his technical team and I will have answers soon. As soon as I have an answer I will repost.
