Have any of you tried using this product with an Android tv box yet? G-Box Midnight functionality?

I haven't tried it with G-Box but I'm not very happy with it's overall performance. Using it with my laptop it freezes all the time. Some times IJust need to attach it to the USB cable and it works again. Sometimes have have to reboot. I have quit using it.

It doesn't work at all! It was originally meant to work with Google TV, but they discontinued supporting it, so it doesn't work nor with Google TV, nor with any TV. The only thing this device would work for would be as dead weight on any TV. :-) dont buy it.

I downloaded an aftermarket application and driver bundle called "TV Expert" to get mine to work. It's a little glitchy, but my kids can now play games from an external console through it.

XBMC for android is still buggy, and the default firmware kind off sucks. I recommend J!nx linux build. It is the only firmware that doesn't forget settings, skip and play choppy video, ect. It just works. no problems here.

I can not answer this question with certainty. What I can say is the box does work very well with a chrome cast and a tv that does not have hdmi input. Something else that was a surprise was the box needs to be powered by USB cord(like an iPhone). The USB cord is provided. I imagine that it would work but can not say for sure based on my use of the box.

I returned the Zeki box, the interface was too cumbersome. Most Android devices will play the video formats you highlight. I bought another box and they all work.

I was just playing with that feature last night, and discovered there's no "." or "-" key to enter a digital channel (for OTA viewing). The range of the remote is fine. But I'll need to look for a better app.

I agree, I had a Boxee on pre order and I had thought about Google TV also but then I thought, for about the same money or less I was able to hookup a nice PC to my TV via HDMI and I use a cheap Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse and it works like a dream! Plus as stated above, it does all of what a settop box will do and whole lot MORE! I had Direct TV for 12 years and I decided that I was tired of paying $70 a month for two DVR's and no premium channels. So I bought a HDTV antenna and a HTPC and I am set!

I understand you only need an appropriate adaptor to conect any android to a tv set. I have not done it but I sure it should work and I will do it when I get the chance of buying the adaptor.

I ask the same question on G+ when I first got the Pixel and the response as I remember "Yes it works but why would you want to use it that way." The guy was right. I've had it since September and never have thought of or had need to use it that way. Hope you are able to get a definitive answer.

It's not feature legal. It's just a $50 android box that streams illegal content via the XBMC app that you can install on your computer for free.

Yes, it works out of the box, highly recommended for any Linux distro: SteamOS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. Great for games! Works flawlessly with Steam and Steam games. Not sure about ChromeOS or Android but I assume those include all the same drivers as every other Linux distribution does.

Matricom, the makers of GBox Mx2 Midnight is in the development phase of a new updated version of the GBox MX2 Midnight, they are making it better than it already is. Like any tech firm they want to improve their product line, and this has caused some excitement, I can't wait to see an even better product. Matricom's development of their new GBox Mx2 Midnight HTPC will not and has not in any way stopped them from updating their firmware or any other updates concerning the MX2 Midnight box, they just released version 1.2.2 and improved their exclusive XBMC version. The only thing you should be worrying about is getting the new box when it comes out as fast as you can. This company has impressed me with their customer service, they will do what ever it takes to help you with your box and if you should need a repair or replacement they literally get it done quick fast, so you're back to enjoying your Mx2 Midnight in no time. I just hope they offer a keyboard remote standard with the new unit.

I use this on my chromebox connected to my television. The usb dongle loaded and worked completely. I presume it would work generally with android although there may be some unique situations as I don't think Android is designed for using a Mouse and on screen pointer. You may be better off getting something with separate keyboard and mouse.

Not every app works with it as far as I noticed it has to be an app that outputs a digital video signal sorta like Netflix, I haven't tested hoolu yet but I'm sure it will work the same as far as tv apps those do not however work
