ASK DIMITROLOGY 001
My personal favorites when it comes to a remote control for any device! Rii (Riitek) is the quality standard that every other manufacture copies but as it often happens, they can not copy the quality and the performance of the original product. Almost any remote control / keyboard / air mouse by Riitek is the top of the line but my absolutely best are the following two devices:
It is a 2.4GHz Wireless Remote, Keyboard and Mouse that comes with a USB dongle and it is compatible with almost any device that has a USB port: HTPC, Smart TV, Desktop PC, Network TV box, Android Box and etc. It also has a very useful back-light keyboard which comes handy when watching a film or in your bedroom. The keyboard function is the top of the category, very useful the play/pause and other multimedia dedicated buttons (fully compatible with KODI, SPMC) and also the touch mouse is an excellent, big plus when you need a mouse in order to complete tasks! It comes with a built-in rechargeable battery and in different colors. The Rii i8+ is now on SALE for just $13.83 / €12.22 / £10.67 on GearBest which is the best price online and with & Free Worldwide Shipping!!
If on the other hand you don’t need a keyboard but you need an Air Mouse, those with the gyroscope, the Rii i7 is the perfect product for you. It works brilliantly well on KODI and other Media players, Smart TV, Android Box, PC, etc. The main advantage is it’s simplicity. You just plug the 2.4GHz Wireless USB dongle and you are ready to go. By moving the remote you will also notice the cursor on the screen that follows your movement. Just after some seconds you get so familiar with it that you can not do without it! With the dedicated buttons other than the left/right mouse you have also power, volume controls, page up & down, menu, back and home. It comes with two triple AAA batteries and it has an auto shutdown option after 3 minutes of inactivity. The Rii i7 is also on SALE with the lowest online price $11.04 / €9.76 / £8.52 on GearBest and with & Free Worldwide Shipping!!
The BeeLink Mini MXIII Android TV Box is on sale right now on GearBest for a price low of $42.99 / €38.00 / £33.16 and with free worldwide shipping! This is an excellent Android TV Box that supports a flawless playback of 4K 10bit movies at 60 FPS with the use of the HDMI 2.0 output! This very small yet very powerful TV Box is powered by an S905 AmLogic 64bit CPU at 2.0 Ghz.
Under the hood we find also a Penta-core ARM Mali-450 GPU, 2Gb DDR3 of RAM and 16Gb of internal storage to which you can add 32Gb more with the use of a SD Card. The device’s operating system is Android Lollipop version 5.1.1 and that also assures the fact that it can support the upcoming version of KODI v17 when it will be released, which will support only Android 5.1 or later!
I tried the device in various occasions and other than the spectacular performance on KODI / SPMC, even Android gaming is pretty awesome! All the games I tried worked great, making use of the excellent GPU and also the 2Gb of RAM. The device when it’s stressed a lot is getting a little hot but that does not influence the performance in any means.
Completing the overall top features, the 10/100/1000 Ethernet jack, Wifi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n module, the CVBS & Optical output, 2 USB 2.0 and the latest Bluetooth 4.0.

Great news in the streaming community, the NVIDIA Shield TV will get the new 3.2 firmware update in the next days with new, exciting features! More 4K content with new & old apps for the best 4K streaming device. Netflix will be getting also 4K HDR support (starting with the new Marco Polo TV Show), Youtube an exceptional 4K resolution at 60 FPS and both apps will support in-app voice search! But 4K HDR is also making it’s way into gaming; the first game with HDR on the Shield TV will be Paragon.
In the audio department the Shield TV was also already ahead of every competitor. Now things get even better since the new firmware will introduce the Dolby Atmos Pass-Through (TrueHD+Atmos) that already is being supported on KODI, SPMC, MX Player and soon on Plex as well!
Also, we have an important CEC update that was missing, the CEC TV-off support. When CEC is enabled on the device and your TV supports it, the TV is automatically powered on when you wake your Shield and now also powered off.
Lastly, what came as a big surprise is the new Plex Media Server integration into the NVIDIA Shield TV PRO (that’s the 500GB version). In other words, your Shield TV PRO can be transformed into your next standalone Plex Media Server! The Shield with it’s phenomenal NVIDIA Tegra® X1 can now host the Plex Server so no NAS (Networked Attached Storage) or remote server is needed. Also, HD capable NAS are really expensive (yeah, really!) the Shield TV Plex Server on the other hand will be able to support hardware-accelerated video transcoding (H.264, MPEG2 and HEVC) and with multiple, simultaneous streams! You can even watch a 4K stream or play a game on your Shield while someone else on your network on the same exact time watches a movie from the Plex Server of the Shield on a mobile device, computer or even TV! Crazy, no? No, it’s NVIDIA!
But what if you already have a NAS device? No worries, you can still connect it to your Shield and use the power of the device in order to transcode your streams. You can extend your library even more, simply by connecting a usb external disk drive and the Shield has USB 3.0, remember? Those are features that we saw until today only on PC setup. Pretty amazing…

Excellent mini TV Box from Beelink that in a super small size delivers performance of bigger devices!
The Beelink MiniMXIII supports the latest HEVC codec (H.265) and also 4K at 60FPS. During my review it performed with a flawless playback on KODI and didn’t hesitate to run all the Android games I’ve tried. The only negative was that the device often when stressed became hot but that din’t influence the performance.
I also loved the building quality, but I also miss the lack of a power on/off LED, just to be sure when I forget the device on.
