Hi all, I’m completely new to minix so have bought a U1 to get me started. My question is :
Can the Minix U1 with its original firmware play the UK sky go tv app ?
I have read other people say it can but they are old posts from a few years back. I believe the app works back to android 5 so is downloadable but I don’t know if the HDMI will be detected.
cheers for any help !

Sky go italy... It works perfectly
 
My minix U1 box arrived today so I have installed the sky go app. At the moment the external display is detected so it doesn’t work. Am I missing a setting so it is set to ‘fake HDMI ‘ or an equivalent setting ?

Make sure the device is updated to the latest firmware FW013.

As far as I remember the HDMI spoofing is baked in to the firmware. There is no switch to enable!

as far as I know/can see there is only the "Fake Wifi" that has a switch
I have never had to use that feature
 
out of curiosity how can you tell / do you know its "baked " in ?
I remember from the old Forum during the evolution of the firmwares it was added as a permanent feature with no switch.

And SKY Go works! ;):D

sadly the box is already on FW013 so is up to date, I might try winding back the version of the sky go app and see if I can get that to work instead . Really appreciate your input in trying to help me solve this . If I have any luck I will post it .

When you switch your TV to the hdmi input of your minix, reboot the minix, then start your slygo

You will need to reboot always before using your slygo app.
 
I see you have just purchased the U1, if you main reason for getting u1 was for slygo, then can I recommend you return it and get the U9 instead. Install the community edition rom. Best performance on minix I've seen with slygo. Smooth playback. (the reboot issue still exists unfortunately)
 
Cheers for your input guys I will try the method above tonight , I bought the minix because I have always wanted to try one of their box’s so not just for sky go. I originally ordered a used U9 but that fell though which is why I went for the U1. I need a second box for the lounge anyway so I was always looking at U9 or U22 as my next purchase
