 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**, **1280x720** and **720x480**. So no native resultion can be used and it relays in **downscaling** or **upscaling**. 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.
