hey what's up guys Chigz here from
Chigz tech reviews and today I've got
my hands on another brand new Android TV
box stay tuned for the reason so this is
the we tech play - Android TV box this
is not just an Android TV box it's a
hybrid so this box actually has a
built-in TV tuner and you have a full
EPG programming guide and you'll have
the Android TV side azure so I'm very
very excited to try this box out to see
how well it works so let's begin with
the specs I'll put the specs on the
screen so you guys can have a quick read
so this has the s90 5h quad-core CPU
running at 2 gigahertz the Mallee 452
gigabytes of ddr3 RAM 8 GB of internal
storage a dvb-s 2 TV tuner you've got
dual band Wi-Fi Bluetooth version 4 so
this runs a custom version of Android
it's called the Android we LS based on
android 5.1 this supports Ultra HD 4k
videos at 60 frames per second you've
got support for Google Widevine
Microsoft PlayReady and this also
supports Dolby DTS and Dolby audio so
this is a brand new Android TV box
you've got the best of both worlds it's
a hybrid you've got a built-in TV tuner
for your satellite and cable and you've
got a full Android version running here
so you've got a two-in-one system so
let's get the Box open and see what it
looks like
Wow that's nice
look at that look at that presentation
okay let's keep going
this is everything you get in the box
we'll begin with the instruction manual
how to get set up looks like a very nice
and easy simple guide you've got a
customer service card here okay HDMI
cable
you've got what looks like a VGA cable
so you can attach it to your monitor
you got an adapter here and all you do
is choose the one that suits your
country that's a UK adapter there but
you have others supplied already so
you've got your US and your other
international sockets there and the
remote control let's take this ribbon
off okay so this is a full-featured
remote control you have the home button
back button menu you even got the mouse
button so you can use it as a mouse okay
but the bomb here is the interesting
part so at the bottom over here you've
got PVR controls so for the TV tuner you
can just press record and it will start
recording immediately you can play pause
and rewind live television as well so a
very very nice looking remote control
and I'm looking forward to testing it
out these buttons here the colored
buttons are also fully programmable so
you can program say the red button to
open Kodi for example or you can change
it you can make the blue button open the
browser so I think that's a really good
custom feature that we take up included
so we will be checking this out soon all
right
and the actual box itself so they
empower your TV I like it I like the
packaging okay
so they have to pull this off so here it
is this is the Wii tech hybrid Android
TV box looks totally different to what
we're used to in Android TV boxes okay
so you've got the logo at the front
you've got a simple design it's just
black finish so you've got a Wi-Fi light
there a network like that's probably for
your land port and you've got a power
indicator here going across okay you've
got some ventilation all the way down
and on the back the ports so starting
from this side you've got your power
socket you've got an rs-232 socket which
just looks like a 3.5 millimeter jack
you've got an optical s/pdif connection
then you've got your HDMI so you've got
a LAN port there and over here you've
actually got a component port okay it
doesn't come with a component cable but
this is a component port your HD
component port so you go HDMI and a
component section there this is two USB
sockets and over here so over here is
your tea
- no connection so you would plug your
satellite connection into here it says
RF in and RF out so you would just plug
that directly in there and we'll be
testing that out later on the other side
you've got more ventilation a micro SD
card port and a USB port so Tolton do
you have three USB ports - at the back
and one on the side at the bottom this
is what it looks like so this is the we
tech box so I want to quickly compare
the size because yes this is a lot
bigger than most Android TV box we're
used to so here is the tx5 Pro so if I
get that here you will see that it's
considerably bigger and double this
double thickness so yeah so that was
just to give you guys an idea of size so
just want to quickly show you guys this
is a dvb-s - connection but if you
wanted to change to a dvb-t - connection
which looks like this you can simply
remove this by pushing down on this
switch there and you can basically pull
this out okay so replacing it is quite
easy it just slots straight in unless it
clicks into place and now you've got a
dvb-t - system which you can use with an
indoor aerial for example so this box
comes with any TV tuner you like and
thereafter you have the option to
purchase additional TV tuners so I'm
going to hook this up to my TV and I'll
be right back
so this is the home screen
play two very nice-looking homescreen
indeed but first of all let's have a
quick look at the settings I really
liked how the settings opens with a
transparent background you can change
everything around from here very nice
and convenient and it looks great so at
the top it will show you a box with your
recent activity the last thing you did
be a game or a YouTube or video it will
show you your last activity and then
along the top there's smaller icons it
will give you suggestions and
recommendations of what you could watch
next
so quite a nice touch that so the next
row over here you can see is all the
apps currently installed on this system
so this is what you get as standard
I haven't installed anything yet so you
can see I've got a favorite spot which
is empty at the moment if I press ok
over any app it will add it to the
favorites like I just did I'll do it to
appetite as well I'll add that to
favorites all you do is keep okay
pressed and there it appears on
favorites so the next thing I'm quite
excited to show you guys is we TV
so we TV is actually the TV tuner that I
showed you guys earlier I'm going to set
this up really quickly and scan all the
channels in and then I'll give you a
demonstration of how good this is so as
you can see it's already found over 100
channels this is my indoor aerial by the
way and it's working great is found 134
channels scan finished so let's see how
it works so I've got BBC one on and it
looks brilliant what's going on here
23 year old Anna Gabriela Moya is head
of housekeeping so another thing I want
to show you guys which is absolutely
awesome is you can record live TV
without attaching any USB Drive so you
simply press record it will ask you how
long you want to record for you just hit
the record button and you are recording
directly onto the internal hard drive
you also have a full very nice little
EPG guide which comes up if you just
press the blue button and it will appear
and it will give you a complete guide
for the whole day for all of your
channels and you can navigate through
all the channels very quickly I like how
you can carry on watching your show in
the background while you're seeing
what's on next
so that's a really cool feature as this
is quite a powerful Android TV box
moving around changing channels
recording everything feels really smooth
and fast I really liked the TV turn on
this so now I've gone ahead and
installed all my favorite games and apps
on this TV box and I'm going to be using
these apps and games to test this box
out
okay so I've just opened Kodi and I'm
going to quickly check out Kodi
performance so I'm just going to play a
series of short sample clips on Cody and
we're going to see how well it plays
thank you thank you for explaining not
simply disappearing quite understand I
have had a wonderful evening so now I'm
going to be testing out YouTube's
performance
you
the
sup guys chicks live from chicks tech
reviews so I needed a new portable hard
drive to back up my files and after
doing some research I finally chose this
one
okay that was great so let's move on now
to the gaming test and the first game I
like to play is Crossy roads
please
not only take the pain away
so now I'm going to show you guys how to
activate the Google Play Store so you do
have Google Play Store pre-installed on
this but it doesn't it doesn't show
straightaway so to activate Google Play
Store go to settings and go straight to
launcher so from launcher you'll get all
these subheadings then go to apps now in
apps you'll see all of these apps which
are highlighted and some are hidden so
you simply hover the cursor over the app
that you want to activate so here's the
Play Store if you just click on the
button and what it's transparent icon at
the moment it will turn into a full
color icon so now I've just activated
the Google Play Store so now I've added
Google Play Store you can see it at the
end of the favorites if I click if I
keep the ok button press I can actually
move it around where I want and I've
brought it to the front now so if I open
up the Google Play Store you will see
that is the full version of the Google
Play Store ready for you to download
thousands of games and apps
ok so let's now try and play a few 4k
samples from a USB Drive
so now I'm going to run a Wi-Fi test so
this TV boxer was able to achieve 34
megabits per second for download speed
and 9 megabits per second for upload
speed moving on to the antutu benchmark
test so the we tech clay 2 has achieved
a total benchmark score of 36 thousand
eight hundred and forty-eight so let's
see how it compares to the others so
this is my top benchmark performance
chart where you can compare all the
Android TV boxes that I have reviewed to
date higher the score better the overall
performance so as you can see the we
tech play 2 has jumped straight to
number two thirty-six thousand eight
hundred and forty eight so it would be
very interesting to see which android TV
box I review next and what overall score
it will get so stay tuned for that so
there you have it guys that was the we
Tech play - now let me tell you guys
this box has totally surprised me okay
this has only a quad-core processor 2gb
of ddr3 RAM and an 8gb internal storage
so I was not expecting a super
performance from this box but let me
tell you the performance was amazing ok
and I'm not exaggerating there what
they've done is they've made a custom
operating system called Wii OS it's
based on android 5.1 but when you're
looking at it you cannot tell this
android 5.1 year it just looks like the
latest operating system but what's
interesting about it is the whole box
and all the operations navigations
playing movies games videos everything
was so smooth with this box yeah I
really really like this box I'm actually
quite impressed it got a very high
benchmark score you know in the category
of quad cores so what really impressed
me about this box is the TV tuner the TV
tuner and the software and the way the
channels loaded the way you can change
channels very quickly the recording the
ability to record without a USB Drive
you've got USB ports here so if you
wanted you could plug it in and you can
continue recording straight onto the
drive this is a great all-round hybrid
4k media center so we take constantly
providing updates fixes for their
customer we OS firmware there's a lot of
downloads and custom roms available in
their forum
which I have checked out I haven't
tested yet so there's a lot of support
on there there's a lot of them extras
you can do with this box yeah don't be
put off by the size of the unit it is
big but it's light it's still portable
this is still much much smaller than
your Sky box or your satellite box that
you've got as it is I did compare it to
the TX 5 pro and it is slightly bigger
but the performance TV tuner everything
makes up for it it's a very cool box
this is the first hybrid Android TV box
that I've tested and I'm very impressed
with it so if you are looking for a
hybrid that can do your online streaming
and your TV tuner then look no further
that we take is brilliant so what I'll
do is I'll leave the links in the
description so you guys can check this
item out and if you like it you can of
course go ahead and purchase one for
yourselves I hope you found this video
useful thank you so much for watching
and I hope you all have a brilliant day
