I think I will need some apps but is there any problems having the google apps installed? Is it better to use an alternative marketplace? Edit - 3D MVC mkv playback is broken with this firmware. 3D iso playback is working.
In fact there are several bugs as always with a new model. Other fellow testers are making nice lists of them and I think all mine are already on one of those. I will wait for the next big bug fix before starting jotting them down myself. I expect we will get something somewhere this week. Oh yes I am pleasantly surprised with Android TV APP compatibility in general and for streaming services specifically. No problem just follow the documented procedure.
Thanks for reply. I think I will test the G version with next firmware. I have been testing just using Aptoide but it's a bit limiting with the apps that will work without google play services.
