Hi,
I'm completely new to this U9-H and need some assistance in setting up and using it ...
Is there a full user manual available anywhere ? In the box, I found only a quick guide with very little information.
Right now, I'm on the home WiFi, but I would like to have it on cabled ethernet ... how can I do that ?
Can I record TV programs to a usb stick ?
Can I program a TV show to be recorded while I'm not there ?
Is there a good (youtube) video about the use of the U9-H available ?
Thank you in advance for your info !

If you're already familiar with Android ultimately you're 90% there, the other 10% is just settings specific to the device such as display or sound settings you may want to configure depending on your specific TV or if you're using an AVR, etc. Having said that, in many cases the U9-H does a good job of choosing the correct settings automatically. If you have no experience with Android at all, let us know & you'll undoubtedly get a flurry of help & ideas
. You may also want to install your own favourite apps too of course.
Otherwise, to get you started, there is only the included quick start guide with the device as it's all pretty straightforward. These forums are an invaluable resource, however.
ANYTHING you need to ask, just ask, (doesn't matter how silly you might think it is yourself), someone will help if they can
. With regards to videos, just search for the Minix Neo U9-H & watch a few of those available, some videos contain info others don't for example. (Some are obviously just unboxing etc. which you can skip.)
For ethernet, simply connect a cable to your router or switch & the U9-H should automatically switch from WiFi to ethernet. Just in case it doesn't, go into
Settings, choose
Network --> Ethernet --> Ethernet Switch, & simply choose
On . If switching back from ethernet to WiFi, you can use the WiFi icon from the quick launcher as you would any Android, or go into the
network settings as above, select
Wi-Fi -->
Wi-Fi Device & turn it
on .
Post up your specific TV & whether you're using an AVR or other audio equipment, people can help you with the optimal display, audio & playback settings if required for example. Again, however, in many cases the auto settings are already optimal
.
Some just stick with the stock Minix metro interface while others go much deeper with personalising the entire look & feel of their devices too.
I just use mine for playing local media & streaming online content, & other more general odds & ends. Kodi can record TV programmes, plenty of guides online to achieve that goal
.
Enjoy your U9-H.
