i just rechecked and i have the mk809. figured it would be better since it had a dual core processor. however now this thing is getting on my nerves...now it cant find the wifi and it keeps turning off the wifi in the settings menu...this is definitely going back in the box

the difference between a MK808 and an MK809 as far as I can tell is the amount of storage.. they both have dual core procs...

I have been using MK808 as Digital Signage Player, with NoviSign.com as the CMS and editor in my father's wine stores (he is not at all tech guy). it is running GREAT fro more than a month now. I have managed to reduce the digital signage costs dramatically.

Have you had any luck with droidmote. I have tried a dozen times and it appears to be connected but nothing is working. I press the home button on the droidmote on my phone, the phone vibrates but doesnt take my mk808 to home. So if you have an insight on this that would be great.

I had a problem with the mk809 but I found that it was because I had the unit plugged into the TV usb socket and it wasn't putting out enough power when it switched on the Wi-Fi. I swapped that for a phone charger 1a and now works fine. I also have a nasty rc12 with keyboard issues and will try to distance the transmitter from the Wi-Fi transmitter on the mk809 to see if that fixes it.

Insert the USB receiver
install the batteries.
put the RC12 horizontal
press the left key and G key at the same time for 3 seconds, then loose them at the same time.
the gyroscope system will be reseted itself
then press the key in the middle of mouse
try it, it will work"

Thank you so much! Following the procedure above my 'Measy RC11' air mouse no longer drifts to the left! It's a shame that the instructions that shipped with the device didn't make any mention of this as my air mouse was drifting from the moment I recieved it. Had it not been for your advice I would have had to return the product. Thanks again!

It's working great here. Make sure under settings that the client & server are both using the same port. Also use the connect option on the menu to connect from the client to the server.

Have been using the mk808 for about a couple of months now and really love it.
But like everyone else the RC12 is a peace of crap and takes a lot of fun out of the device. Now I will try the "fix" to see if it works or not, otherwise i would have to get a new remote.

Is it possible to plug a generic MCE IR USB dongle into mk808 and control it using Logitech Harmony remote?

Check the package for your Logitech Harmony Remote or if you no longer have it do a quick wiki product search and find the "supported Operating Systems" section of the device. If the device lists "Linux" as a supporting Operating System then this means manufactures have some form of driver available for Linux and I would imagine it totally possible to use this remote in Linux. Even IF it does say it supports Linux it does not mean 100% will work because it all depends on the Kernel you are using and wether or not the kernel developer for your device has included the correct modules/firmware/drivers, if they have not you will need to grab a copy of your kernels source as well as several other tools so that you can "install hardware support for remote" this is the standard procedure for adding any hardware device to linux when it is not a "commonly used/widely supported" device. If you are using a Linux release such as "ubuntu" usually if its a widely used device and the manufacture supports linux the drivers will be on an official repository unless specific licensing laws prohibit it at which point you will need to compile the drivers and make sure you have correct dependencies etc.. manually. With the dawn of Mobile Android devices and "smart devices" in general the market (in my opinion) has no need for remotes like the logitech at an outrageous price compared to a new mobile device completely capable of everything the remote does and MORE. A $20 Android is at your local swap meet waiting for you to use it as a remote That being said there may be developers out there who own a remote such as this and may be testing it!

If you find out that the remote IS supported by the manufacture themselves and need help installing/compiling your drivers I can point you in the right direction to begin learning how (what linux is all about) with a few links to get you started. I don't own a remote such as this so I cannot directly help you but I can help you in-directly with tips/direction. Hope some of what I said was helpfull or informative.
