Since this box is made by SDMC I think that they provide Firmware for it, not Kinhank which are only sellers for this device.

I was looking at the Ugoos boxes but they don’t support online streaming apps.
And is there a website to get more familiar with CE? I don’t think I quite fully understand what it is.

I noticed people talking about ATV12 on the Homatics Box R 4K Plus. Mine has 11 still. How do I install 12 on mine?

Those that updated to new FW need to contact KinHank to provide them original FW so that they can revert their G1 to original state, the state they paid for it. Otherwise they are cheated and should think about legal actions against KinHank.

ATV12 is still in beta on that device. The betas you can actually obtain so far have been buggy, best to wait a bit for a better release. It has been slow progress on that front so you could be waiting a while.

Strange that it takes them so long, since Nokia 8010 got ATV 12 several months ago...

they never once advertised anything about able to install your own software on the box. All the features they advertised are still their. And you really saying to sue a Chinese company? LOL
Pretty sure any company can lock bootloader anytime they want. Sony did it with play station to lock out Linux, they never got any legal action for that.
