    Newbie Questions

    Hi, I just received my Mini-PC (as a replacement for the set-top box) and have a few newbie questions on how to get the damn think to work. Sorry if these are elementary - my only goal is to be able to watch DVD movies copied to an external USB portable drive on my TVs.

    1- How to turn the mini-pc off? When I am not using it how do you turn off or power down?

    2- There is no "Super-HD Play" app on my device, how do you download it? In general how do you download new apps specifically for this unit?

    3- The instructions online state you should download the "APK" app, how do you download this app and where do you get it?

    4- When I started the VidOn.me TV it downloaded an update file (vidon.me_2013_06_19_00_02_24.exe). When I go into the file manager to run this file I get the message "Have not installed any app to open file". This is an executable but in the file manager it looks like a txt file. What do I need to download to run this update (instructions just say click on the file)?

    5- No matter how I connect my portable USB drive the drive is not recognized (as it does not have power)? This drive does not have an external power source and is supposed to be powered from the device. Is that a problem with this unit? Do I need to do something different or does this unit only work with a powered external drive?

    Any help with these basic questions would be greatly appreciated. I am just looking to watch movies from a hard drive on different TVs. I have the set-top box but the unit is unusable.

    Thank you.

    It is my recollection that the unit does not have the ability to power 3.5" drives from the USB port. It may power some 2.5" laptop drives, but I don't recommend it. You can find an AC power supply for the drives for about $12-14 at meritline.com or newegg.

    Can't help you with the apps, but someone will be along that can I'm sure.
