Doc, have you found a solution to this?  Also bought a zidoo x9s from bongchillog and a keyboard (preferably wireless with backlighting and rechargeable) will really help.

What I have is the one with the RF wireless connection.  I will test it again if it will work.  I'll also test a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard.  Will update.

May Google Play Store naman na pwede pag download ng mga apps.  Parang Android cellphone lang ang process to download and install.  I have downloaded iFlix, HOOQ, Pluto TV.  Ewan bakit di ko madownload at install ang Netflix.
When your device is rooted, you cannot install netflix the normal way. There is a way in the netflix website how to install in rooted devices.

I have tested this Wireless keyboard with trackpad via RF. Works fine!

Also tried my Logitech K480 Bluetooth keyboard. Worked fine as well!

Was at Festival Mall today looking at Logitech keyboards for the X9S but ended up empty handed.  I saw the Bluetooth K480 but it doesn't have a touchpad, which I feel is a must.  Then I saw the K400.  This one had a touch pad but it's isn't Bluetooth.  It's wifi only - with a USB dongle, and I wasn't sure that will work.  Was actually looking for the K830 which has both Bluetooth and a touchpad but they didn't have that.  Question:  Will the wifi-only K400 work kaya or dapat Bluetooth talaga?

Also where can I buy those small illuminated keyboards with trackpads Doc?

If you plan to use a Wifi connection, there is an android app (sorry if you are an iOS user) that can connect to your Zidoo via wifi.

Zidoo RC Android App

Tried the Zidoo RC Android App.  Works very well! You have the regular remote control with directional keys and also a mouse via touchpad option.

1. Which apps do you recommend for x9s specifically for tv series and/or movie streaming?

2. For Terrarium, which video player do you recommend and is there a way to remove the adds at the lower bar while watching?

3. At the 2k php range, which keyboard do you highly recommend for the x9s?

4. Is turning it off through its UI sufficient and no need to toggle off the physical main switch at the back?

5.

Did you connect to the hdmi port that is HDMI 2.0 that supports 4k60p and BT.2020 (HDR) for both the receiver and TV? Because the washed out colors you described is like playing HDR contents on a SDR display. Maybe also try to connect your zidoo to your sony tv first to see if you can get the right colors.
