Update #18 · Oct 17, 2012 · 27 comments

Hey everyone. For those that have received the Equiso Smart TV we hope you are loving (and the bugs that shipped with it :) your new Smart TV.

This is going to be a short update. Not really an update but an invitation. We have some great news coming for the backers of the Pro.

Get ready for the announcement on Friday.

      I've had an interesting visit to our customs there in germany. They said, equiso does not have a HDMI license. I didn't get the device and customs will destroy it.

      Is anyone out there with the same "experience"?

      thanks Bruce for the answer!

      1) I was worried for just unplug the stick thinking about the processes currently running, the equiso team asnwered this question on facebook: "The Android OS is very resilient. Its meant to be shut off real quick for a number of reasons."
      2) I was thinking on installing a launcher but I wonder if the general performance will get affected.
      3) My question was about using the SD card of the equiso, I wanted to upload a movie directly on the Equiso without plug another USB stick on it, but thanks.

      ALSOOOO...
      I wonder if they can recommend any task killer in order to improve performance
      & i'd like to know if anyone tried Hotspot Shield compatible, i am from mexico & i'd like to get international content for streaming.... I guess this last question is really important for international backers.

      Tech questions and posts unrelated to a specific update should probably be posted under the comments tab and/or the unoffical forum otherwise responses could be missed.

      Hi Hugo --

      1) Just unplug it. There is no "off" button
      2) I couldn't tell you, but I don't expect there to be any problems with launchers. Just may not do much. Maybe the Equiso guys can answer definitively.
      3) The Equiso needs a compatible HDMI port, and that's really the only interface that you might want.

      #2 and #3 are great questions, though, and I'm going to watch for answers. I'd like to put these up on the KickyWiki page for Equiso (http://www.kickywiki.com/index.php/Equiso_Smart_TV) in the FAQ section when we get some official answers, or when you try it. :-) Thanks!

      I just receive my equiso in México!

      just 3 questions:
      -how do you turn off the equiso if i don't want to use it?
      -is it safe to install a launcher on the equiso?
      -can you connect the equiso to the computer?
