Rooting went off with out a hitch using the GTVhacker script.. I am able to access Hulu and other previouslly blocked websites. While I only tested a few websites and had no issues on Comedy Central or Syfy I still encountered a problem with Hulu. After selecting a show eveything works for about 20 seconds and then the sound quits. The video continues to play everything else is normal, other applications still have sound and i can change to another website still have sound with no issues. Anyone encounter this or am I the only one?
Also I'm extremely disappointed with the device control. My Philips HR22 from DirecTV for example on both my revue and Gen-1 Sony is listed under Philips, but not on the Hisense, its listed under DirecTV. While it is a DirecTV DVR the manfactuer is Philips. I only happened accross it by luck under under DirecTV. My LG TV is not in the aviliable models and it wants me to scroll through 99 possible codes. In attempting, after selecting the next code the box freezes for about 10 to 15 seconds. I made it through about 45 codes before I gave up. I can't tell if I simply have the IR in a bad position, if the box is locking up and not actually sending the command, or if its not the right one.
I had also read somewhere that the remote was suppose to detect how you were holding the remote and shut off the keys on the side your not using. Either mines defective or its not true for the touch pad because while attempting to type with the keypad if I tap the touch pad it moves the mouse and in turn the coursor.
It also locked up twice with in the first hour forcing me to pull the power.
Over all I only had about an hour to mess with it after rooting but its made a less then stellar impression.
