ok well with my other box the one remote works it all, wakes the tv when the box wakes up, controls my amp volume, etc, its an rca amp for my surround sound system. For an android box this one seems like its mainly geared towards iptv, most android boxes aren't so geared towards that but that's not a biggie, really....when u go to settings, device pref, decode and bitstream, u can not change the audio device to HDMI passthrough so it stays on it, it always goes back to decode. if I pair the remote to work my tv. i have no volume control at all using the remote. so I have to use one remote to turn the tv on and off, one for the box, and one for the surround sound amp. The one remote should work it all. the HDIM-CEC section in settings the audio control wont work unless I pair the tv to it and then it doesn't work cause of the surround system set up. the audio amplifier control doesn't do a thing. from what ppl are saying you are locked into the default launchers that come with the box, u can not add any outside launchers at all, this is turning a lot of ppl off from what I have heard, bothers me also as I don't care for the default launchers , would be nice if when u click on live tv, you could use the app you want and not have to use the default buzztv app, also when in iptv, watching something, and u hit the back button, on most devices if u keep hitting it it take u right out of what u are in and back to the home screen, this one doesn't, just goes from ur tv screen to the semi guideand back and forth, you have to hit the home button then down to button 5 to get out of the app, real pain in the butt to have to do this every time. i accidently hit the pause button on the remote and now cant get iptv to play again lol. gonna have to unplug and replug again....
