I've been checking AV sites and reviews are generally not very positive - the big problem seems to be that the processor speed and memory aren't up to the task, graphics are jagged etc. I didn't notice anything about a pairing problem, but it wouldn't astonish me if they occurred - I've never had good luck with wireless keyboards at any distance from the computer, and I assume you aren't sitting right on top of the TV?
Obvious stupid question though - have you tried really fresh batteries?
Happy to be of service.... It's a pity it doesn't work - I suspect it may be something to do with the packing - the unit and controller were both loose inside the box when it arrived. Still, if it had worked....
Just before sending it back to Intempo under guarantee, I had a chance to try it out on our spiffy new HDMI projector screen at work - it works! I couldn't test the cable, though, as the projector end is different.
This means my problem was with the cable or my TV - I really hope it's the former....
Connected it last night - screen slightly blurry when looking at small print (maybe due to HDMI to SCART conversion - it had certainly looked crisper on the projection system at work).
Basically, an android tablet writ large, but with a touchpad (seemed odd at first holding the remote "sideways", and using a button to flip the pad between moving the pointer and scrolling the screen).
BBC iPlayer and so on "just worked" - I'm going to see if I can plug a"proper" keyboard into the USB port, because I'd not want to do any serious typing on the clicky-buttoned keyboard that slides out of the remote.
Youtube fine, flash animations fine, Android shop accessible (I didn't try any of the games, but they looked pretty enough).
I didn't check out displaying USB stick content or work through all the options from the homepage, but I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.
