Jynxbox Android M6 and Jynxbox Live Android TV Players Unboxing Pictures and Videos

I’ve just received two new devices from theatertvbox.tv, namely Jynxbox Android M6 and Jynxbox Live. Both are Android media player, with the former being a more traditional AMLogic AML8726-MX based Android TV Box with XBMC, and the later being an Internet media streamer based on Rockchip RK3066 that focuses on playing online content from services such as Hulu or Netflix. Today, I’ll start with listing specifications, and showing some unboxing pictures and videos for both players, and write a complete detailed review, at least for the M6, in a few days.

This media streamer runs Android 4.2.2 with a user interface inspired by Windows 8 Metro style, if we are to believe the user’s manual screenshot. Applications to access Vimeo, Hulu, and Netflix are provided, and I’ve been told there’s also a “Chinese crack” that provides access to over 200 IPTV channels.

Jynbox Live comes with an IR remote control, a 5V/1.5A power adapter with micro USB to USB cable, an HDMI cable, an external Wi-Fi antenna, and a user’s manual in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Arabic. A CR2025 battery is already inserted into the remote.

This Internet media player features 3 USB ports on one side, optical S/PDIF, HDMI out, an Ethernet RJ45 port, a Wi-Fi connector, and a microUSB port for power on another, and a microSD slot, network and power LEDs, and the IR sensors at the front.

Here’s the unboxing video

And you’ll be amazed by the prize! Jynxbox Live sells for $329 on Amazon, and $349.99 on Theater in a Box. I haven’t received an explanation for this “special” price yet, but I’m sure there must be a reason, maybe some online subscriptions (TBC).

Jynxbox M6 vs Jynxbox Live vs Matricom GBox Midnight MX2 vs Tronsmart Prometheus

Usually, I also post pictures of the internals of the products with both sides of the PCB, but I failed to easily open them up to know, and I’d rather not damage them before review.

So instead, I’ve taken a “family picture” with the Jynbox devices, G-Box midnight MX2 and Prometheus, and Jynxbox Android M6 is indeed a nice little device. We’ll have to see how it performs in the upcoming review.
