Skyworth i71S, also you a high-definition horizon

The propaganda about the TV box is also hype, and it is crowned with the name "smart".

The TV box is not so high-end, but is a video and audio player based on the Android system, which integrates hardware decoding, and supports the installation of Android applications to achieve the corresponding functions. To put it simply, the TV box is a smart phone with a hardware and function castration version, but the screen is replaced with a monitor that needs to be manually connected, the touch screen is replaced with a physical remote, and the battery is replaced with a charging head. The function of video and audio playback, while the WIFI wireless connection, system upgrades and other functions continue to be preserved, other functions such as camera, call and other functions have been removed due to weak demand, so that everyone should be able to understand it. After listening to Xiaobian’s analysis, did everyone suddenly feel that the “smart” mystery of “Smart Internet TV Box” disappeared?

In today's pros and cons, it's not easy to simply watch TV.

Today we come to experience the i71S, an online TV box that was once launched by Skyworth as a well-known TV brand.

The box is a network high-definition television box jointly created by Skyworth and the "IQIYI". Like most TV boxes, it uses the Yangguang Galaxy license.

Second, out of the box

The outer packaging of the box is a simple beige color. It has no concise label or even a trademark. It is totally invisible as a product of Skyworth and unscientific. The back of the middle is the trademark of “IQI”. The product model “i71S” should be homonymous with the trademark of iQiyi, but I feel that the trademark is printed on the bottom but not on the surface. Puzzled.

The packaging is relatively compact, and each component is individually packed in a small carton. The small box is properly used to fill the space inside the large box. No extra space is loose and bumps are generated, which facilitates transportation and fixing.

The box is square and weighs only 217 grams. It is compact and can be accommodated with one hand. The top is a champagne metal shell, and the bottom and back are plastic shells. The middle of the top metal shell is Skyworth's English trademark "Skyworh", the left is the trademark of "IQIYI", the front is a white status light, the use is always on, the remote control operates When the light flashes, there are non-slip mats in the bottom corners.

The box remote control is relatively compact, smaller than the millet remote control, the number of buttons is very small, the layout is reasonable, the gap between the keys is large enough, and it is better than the traditional remote control with full key positions, and the buttons have corresponding Text or symbol identification, remote control is very easy to use, and the arrow keys and the return key have a concave design, and there is an operation indicator in the upper left corner. When the remote control is operated, the lamp will flash, even if the blind press in the dark, no problem . The remote controller is infrared, with a certain degree of directivity, and is less directional than Bluetooth.

Third, use the introduction

The installation of the box is very simple. If you use a wireless network link, you only need to connect the power supply. You can connect the HDMI cable to the TV or the monitor. If you use a wired network, you need to connect the network cable, if you are playing U disk In the audio or video, you only need to connect the U disk.

After the connection is complete, start the box and the words “HD box 2” and “Skyworh” appear first.

The first use, because it is to use wireless WIFI to connect to the network, you need to connect to the network, you can automatically save the information after the connection, next time you do not need to enter again, if you are using a wired network connection, this step can be ignored.

After the network is connected, it enters into the system. At this moment, the ordinary TV becomes a smart TV through this box, and the box can be controlled through remote control. The video of the box is supervised by “GITV (Galaxy Internet Co., Ltd.)” and resources are provided by iQIYI. Basically, iQIYI has a collection of TV dramas, TVs, variety shows, animations and so on. There are also special 3D and 4K areas, and detailed classification can be selected according to different types, you can also directly search the video, you can perform on-demand at any time, less than the time limit of traditional live TV, meet our like all ages The crowd's video viewing needs.

A lot of free video resources on the Internet can be played on-demand. Certainly, some resources are open to members. If you want to see it, you can only purchase members or achieve other methods, and you can freely forward or backward during playback. , Adjust the definition of the picture quality, picture ratio, etc. Of course, if you want to see the quality of 1080 or 4K, you must have enough network bandwidth. If you do not have enough network bandwidth, you can achieve smooth playback by switching to reduce the picture quality. Xiao Bian through the connection of televisions and 2K computer monitors to see, only with the naked eye, the effect on the TV display is better than on the monitor and comfortable to see.

For reasons of copyright restrictions, iQiyi is only a video resource of a company and certainly cannot be comprehensive. For example, the “new Chinese voice” resource is actually not available in the Xiaobian test, and it does not carry live webcasts, but there is an Android system. The openness, we can install the appropriate application to achieve webcast features and find more resources, such as the installation of "Youku" application, it is equivalent to have Youku site on the entire video resources, very convenient and practical. There are few application stores that come with the system. We can do this through a third-party TV application store.

First of all, we download a "Sofa Manager" application on a computer to a USB flash drive, and then install it on the box. Then we start the "Sofa Manager" and we can install a variety of open applications.

After installing the "CIBN Micro Audiovisual" and "Little Micro Live Streaming", we can watch a variety of TV stations broadcast live. Of course, we also want to see the "New Chinese Voice" resources in this application. The television station is even more involved. These various TV applications are also more humane. In the process of watching live broadcasts, each channel has multiple video sources and resolutions that can be switched, in the case of a source of Caton. You can switch sources to continue to see. The only downside of these video applications is that the features that can be used to customize direct sources in the early days were cancelled after the SARFT ordered them to be ordered. To see some of the radio stations outside of China, it is impossible to implement them through the box. For reasons you understand.

By installing a TV application, we can even turn the TV into a game console and play the game with a remote controller or a USB game pad (tested and available, not described here).

The audio and video resources that can't be found in the application of the box can be downloaded to the U disk or mobile hard disk through the computer, and then used on the box to play local resources. Tested. The box can play all kinds of common mainstream audio and video normally, relying on 4K video playback without any pressure, but the lossless compressed audio without tracks is played, and the CUE directory file cannot be recognized, but the audio can be played. Of course, audio playback is only an additional function. To get better sound quality playback, more professional equipment is the right way.

Other methods of play include making the box a wireless WIFI hotspot, using a mobile phone to control the box, pushing the screen of the mobile phone, and projecting. If the individual is willing to toss, he can still play some new games on the basis of the original.

Before the online circulation of these boxes in the standby power, is a large household appliances steal power, after the small series test, box standby power is only 0.7 watts, working power is only about 5 watts, the power is actually very small.

The work of the box will be hot and the casing of the box is basically sealed, which is not good for heat dissipation. However, through use for a period of time, it will feel a little hot in the hands. After temperature measurement, the surface temperature is 42 degrees left, the temperature at the bottom is about 45 degrees, and the temperature control is relatively stable.

IV. Summary

This box is based on Skyworth's own hardware and video resources with iQIYI. It is small in size, easy to install, and has a huge video library. You can upgrade your TV to a higher level with a small amount of money. It really is a worthwhile TV upgrade. Accessories, some people use economics to calculate the cost of a few thousand TVs a year, I feel a bit exaggerated, but in the convenience of the Internet today, I feel that it ignores the economic cost savings, more emphasis on its convenient, practical, fun Features are more important. If you have a non-smart TV in your home and you want to experience the fun of smart TVs, you don’t need to buy a dedicated smart TV again. You just need to spend a little money to buy a Skyworth box, and you can upgrade your TV to smart. TV.

2, although there is a USB interface as an expansion interface, but the interface is 2.0, not on the mainstream 3.0 a little regret;

3. In the case that universal products support 5G wireless WIFI, although the box has a built-in dual 2.4G dual-channel WIFI, it still cannot keep up with the faster 5G transmission rate;

4, after all, the box and the other equipment in the home use the network, the network constraints, in the case of poor network conditions or bandwidth is insufficient, the situation of video Caton occasionally occurs, compared to the installation of wired line transmission is not stable enough.
