Mango TVUT egg set-top box in the licensee is the most recent selection of Hunan Radio and TV, Mango TV's current video resources are still quite rich, but also can enjoy the exclusive resources of Hunan Satellite TV. The only pity is that Mango TV has already set up a VIP area. Many movie and TV resources require payment to be able to watch it. However, the price is not very expensive, and the most expensive is only equivalent to 1 yuan per day. It is worth mentioning that the current variety of options, Mango TV has not set up a VIP area, the user can also receive free to see the exclusive singer I said in the third quarter, but will not charge later, it is not easy to say.


Mango TV uses a design pattern that divides the screen up and down. The upper screen is a recommendation for various video classified products, and it is displayed to the user through exquisite advertising drawings. On the downside screens, there are many movie and TV category buttons and Mango TV services.


Mango TV is very rich in the classification of movies and television, providing a variety of categories such as single-point on-line, MM show, carousel, movies, television dramas, variety shows, animation, music, documentary, living, education, sports, finance, 1080P, and micro-movies.

Egg Store

The design of the UT egg egg top box's egg mall has a personality, for setting up five labels, namely wonderful recommendation, shopping mall classification, game theme, my application and installation history. My application settings are set with the online shopping mall is still quite rare.


The wonderful recommendation label inside the egg mall is mainly based on the game, which is in line with the orientation of the UT egg set top box.


The classified part of the mall, which has been applied mainly in games, provides parent-child interaction, leisure puzzle, sports racing, flight shooting, tower defense strategies, action adventure, role-playing and practical tools. Among them the rest six are the game application categories except for parent-child interaction and utility tools. For users to better choose to suit their own game. It is worth mentioning that in the utility section, sofa butlers are also provided, which are not available in other general network set-top boxes.


The design of the egg store mall undoubtedly shows the positioning of the game direction of the UT egg set-top box. Apart from the fact that most of the wonderfully-recommended label machine store categories are occupied by game applications, a special game label has been specially designed. There are currently three game topics here, namely, entertaining, classic games and love games hall. It is easy for users to select similar games for more accurate entertainment.


My application section naturally needs no mention. This is a collection of third-party APP applications installed by users. At the same time, in order to facilitate the user's upgrade or uninstall of the application, the upgrade and delete buttons are also provided below, allowing the user to control the application more freely.


The installation history part is to record the user's application installation, but unfortunately the current UT egg-top set-top box seems to only record the applications downloaded and installed by its own store, and applications installed through channels such as U disk are not recorded.

game

The game as the main push of the UT egg set-top box, so I chose three games for testing here, one for the chess and card type Shengjing chess, a blade for the turn-based fighting God, an island strategy for real-time strategy . What about UT eggs in these three games? We together look!

Shengjing Chess



As a flagship set-top box, running a card game is still very easy. Do not know if it is UT egg egg set-top boxes bring good luck, actually got the double king's hand.

Blade of God






The Blade of God is a good turn-based game with a beautiful interface, but the UT egg set-top box is also stressless. But the only regret is that God Blade's game is a mouse control game. If you are interested in this game, it's best to add a wireless mouse.

Island Raiders






The Island Jones is a very popular strategic game on the mobile phone. It is also very good on the UT egg set-top box. Users can set up their own islands on the set-top box. It is worth mentioning that the game also needs to be controlled by the mouse. Therefore, if you want to use the UT egg-egg set-top box for gaming, it is best to also configure a wireless mouse and a gamepad.

Others and summary

UT egg set-top box also set up my episodes, settings, and search functions for everyone. Among them, my episodes and search are directly called the function of Mango TV. After clicking, you can directly go to the Mango TV. Both search and search provide enough convenient channels for users to pursue such dramas or watch video resources.


The setup section contains the basic settings for the UT egg set-top box, where the user can perform regional settings, egg login, network settings, display settings, native settings, and restore factory settings. At the same time, the system version of the UT egg set-top box can also be updated here.


In addition, it is worth mentioning that the UT egg set-top box home page design, in addition to the contents of the home page provided by UT eggs, but also reserved for everyone four locations for users to choose their own frequently used applications, to avoid the need to enter Find it in my application. Of course, users can also make any changes in these four locations. If any of these applications are no longer liked, they can be replaced at any time.

Summary: UT egg set-top box as an upstart in the network set-top box products, its beautiful appearance and decent gaming performance is still very commendable. The design of the interface is also quite concise, which breaks through the UI design of network set-top boxes. However, as a newly introduced product, UT egg and egg set-top boxes also have some deficiencies and need to be improved. Just like its native player, it can't support FLV and RMVB format videos. For users with local video viewing needs, it's still confusing. It is hoped that the next generation of UT egg set-top boxes will be improved in this area.
