My TV box gets hot

It's normal for your TV box to feel warm while you're using it. The box is designed without a cooling fan, but it shouldn't overheat if it's stored correctly.

For added safety, your TV box has a heat-detection chip. If it gets too warm, it'll automatically go into standby until it reaches a safe temperature.

  • Keep it out of direct sunlight
  • Keep it away from electrical devices and heat sources, such as external power packs
  • Keep it away from soft furnishings, such as cushions and rugs
