I hope some of our wizards in town can help me on that one. Would love to switch to streaming via Android box. Presently downloading HD/DTS movies and enjoying on my cinema-like home set-up. Would love to add Android box, but are there any sites that provide DTS movies and are there boxes that are capable of streaming DTS? Thank you all fort your feedback. MS>

Regarding the box you could find an answer here: http://minix.com.hk/

I ordered my box (http://minix.com.hk/products/neo-x8-h-plus) via Lazada: http://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=minix+x8-h+plus

Just make sure, you have a Windows computer available (I'm on Linux and it was quite a hassle) as it was delivered to me with the initial firmware (stock firmware) pre-installed which needed an upgrade. But this was several months ago and I don't know which firmware the box is actually shipped with. Newer firmwares can be upgraded via the box itself ("FOTA", firmware over-the-air).

The subject has also been discussed in this forum for several times (e. g. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/776407-where-can-i-buy-the-probox2-ex-4k-android-tv-box/ or you can do a search here with "minix").

Regarding the DTS sites I have to pass, unfortunately.

Good luck.

PS: The box (Kodi software, formerly known as XBMC) is great and highly configurable - Which could also mean a little bit of effort for you. But there is a huge supportive community on the web.

Super info. Thank you very much. Regards. MS>

I bought a Minix Neo X8-H Plus from a supplier on another forum. Full loaded with all the Apps, delivered and installed. Brilliant!

PM me for contact details if you're interested.

Thank you very much. I got one already and am now informed about this. Now just need to find streaming DTS content, as I am pretty spoiled watching high quality movies incl. great surround sound. Thank you again. MS>

DTS is encoded into the existing stereo channel, so unless your sound has been encoded to very bad standards it's already there. Just need a DTS decoder and of course amplifier for all the separate channels.

Something like this (and of course a shedload of speakers) http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-AVR-1510-5-1-Channel/dp/B00CMNZH1A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1MW2D0NX33ER7SWAM5EX&dpID=31hlO6CmYEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_

Thank you. I am not aware of this. Configurations to get proper DTS sound are quite complex for an amateur like myself. Will read up on it. I have to download DTS movies specifically to get DTS sound on my high end systems. I copy instructions for people who need this done below, from another blog I posted in, a while back. Took me a long time to figure it out, as there are no all incl. instructions I could find.

Good night. MS>

"I know, that some of you are looking how to get proper Surround-Sound (DTS; AC3 etc.)

from your computer via your audio-receiver and sound-system. At first sight a bit tricky,

as few good instructions around, but quite easy if you follow all steps correctly. And you

will be rewarded with cinema-like sound in your living room.

First pl. download & install the newest version of http://www.ac3filter.net/wiki/Download_AC3Filter

The program is safe, ignore warnings of malware-programs.

Then refer to the instructions HERE (link above), they are simple and correct. Make sure to save the settings and to

restart the computer & your sound-system. You will have to play DVD's with DTS or AC3 or have

downlaoded movies with the above audio, obviously. The audio-receiver will show DTS and you will

only be able to control volume on the receiver, as you are feeding all data directly to the receiver without

it going through your sound-card.

DO NOT! set your sound card to 5.1. or 7.1., the Digital Output or shown as your Audio Receiver HDMI

if your receiver is ON during setup, must be set to receive stereo. Only then will it work!

Don't let other instructions confuse you. You have to activate all filters & formats under Preferences or

Options in the misc. players and always restart program & computer. (VCL,WMPC, WMP, GOM etc.) &

Right click and start/ associate AC3 Filter with your player."
