3. If it can be hacked i heard i can side load 1 app only and alot of people side load the Plex app, if i did this could i somehow use my external Mybook World network drive with it without installing a Plex server on a PC that needs to be on all the time?
4. Can i hack the resolution to output in 1080p all the time in developer mode?
5. Does the USB port let me stream MKV and other content if i plug a memory stick into it?
6. Can i hack it to install the Roku firmware?
Thanks!  |
1. Is the box based on a Roku 2 or 3? I think it is ROKU 3

4. Can i hack the resolution to output in 1080p all the time in developer mode? no
5. Does the USB port let me stream MKV and other content if i plug a memory stick into it? you would need to sideload a app apparantly to play anything of a usb device, i recommend just sideloading rarplex and use your computer as a media system or paying a extra £30 and getting a ROKU3 which will have more options and apps, rokus do have all uktv catch up services as well as netflix, amazon video, nowtv, sky store etc.
6. Can i hack it to install the Roku firmware? no.
