RE: State of Kodi Media Players: Best Options in 2024 - MediaPi - 2024-09-03
You can get the G1 for $57.95 (pre tax) if you create a new account. I believe they would want a new debit/credit card for this to work, 13 hours left.

It was $59.95 without the new deal offer, so you save
You could possibly refer yourself to receive a coupon, then when you made a purchase, you will get another coupon on your original account?

I am about to order this one but the 100MB ethernet card is still worrying as I would like to have gigabit.
I have read the previous posts before, some mentioned that it might be a new chipset in the newer ones? Some mentions firmware as reason.
But it is to good to miss out no matter. I was able to get the price down to 69$ as existing user with coupons. Good deal! Remote looks good also
Thanks for highlighting it

nice, did you use the "
US $3.00 off orders over US $29.00" discount?
imagine them getting gig working!
yeah the remote is at least $10 worth, so the box is good price, especially for what it can do now

I found an official facebook group KinHanK Groups – After Sales Service & Feedback, which seems to be very active with admin
https://www.facebook.com/groups/kinhank
anyone got a facebook account and ask about the state of ethernet on the G1?

These guys won't ship to Canada for me
but I did find someone who would.https://a.aliexpress.com/_mspgtOC
I used this code for 12$ off 100$ 09CD08. I also added a 7$ socket set to enable the coupon. I had 6.50$ bonus bucks the am6b+ purchase and it used a max of 4$ in coins so Would come out to 86.95$ cad or 64.43$usd. I could also get the Homatics for 132.62cad. I just don't see a difference between the two except RGB and usb 3.0

Keep in mind even if you get a Kinhank with 1G ethernet the Android TV side on the device is not perfect.
I am pretty sure it will transcode all audio to DD+ at best, so no passthrough.
Also I have read there are issues with always on HDR / DV. So it forces HDR or DV at all times and there's no option to turn it off.
Kinhank promised updated firmware to fix this and has never delivered.

update ATV11 firmware arrived for G1 and add HDR Adaptive
We know KinHanK are actually working on this box. I'd expect sales to double before years end and we should have confirmation of gig ethernet. Also hoping we get through to the team to get gig working (if not already done)

Hah! All it took was me saying it's broken and they will probably never fix it. You are all welcome

Does the firmware fix matter to us who wants to run CE only?

but it matters very much. why? because they actually actively working on this, for one reason , they want to sell more boxes!
this means once they see sales numbers increase, they are more likely to fix whatever neds fixing.
also the gig Ethernet might even be fixed! some people are saying it's working for them, once you guys get your new G1, we'll know if theirs been a fix and KINHANK did something without telling anyone.
BUT even if they didn't. I'm going to put some effort trying to contact them and let them know about the kodi community and how much sales they'll get if they give fix things that matter to us.
can you believe it? people where saying (cough signde) that KINHANK hasn't released an update since a year ago and we probably won't get any. and less than a week later , we got one!
In terms of value this box might be amazing! it won't be the best at one thing but a jack of all trades and for under $70, I don't think anything comes close!

How are you using the X1S with your Kodi build? Mine's running on a dedicated Win10 PC that also feeds 2x RPs in other rooms, and need to replace my old iRule tablet. Does X1S send Kodi commands over wifi?
