The device does not have a clock inside, it relies on the time it gets from the internet. With the latest firmware (2016-01-26) there is a **very annoying bug**: from the Android settings we enabled **time from the internet** and set the proper timezone, this settings works just once, after a reboot the time is **almost always unset**. | The device does not have a clock inside, it relies on the time it gets from the internet.

+ | We don't know the actual **video adapter capabilities** of the MXQ, using the LibreELEC distribution we suspect that it cannot cope well with the native resolution of any HDMI monitor we connect to it. For example we attached a Samsung SyncMaster capable of 1440x900 pixel, but the Kodi interface offered only **1920x1080**, | ||

You will need an **USB keyboard** to configure the Kodi program (the remote control should work, but it is not very friendly selecting IP addresses, etc.). At least you should **configure the network** and **enable the SSH server**. | You will need an **USB keyboard** to configure the Kodi program (the remote control should work, but it is not very friendly selecting IP addresses, etc.).

+ | Sometimes we get **Kodi reboot**, Kodi interface or **video play freeze**. The system is installed into the NAND memory, into the dmesg log there are plenty of that messages: | ||
