New Equipment: Amiko A3

Amiko A3 is the next generation of satellite Set Top Box (STB), Home Media Center, Internet Streamer and more….in ONE easy to use package. Spark2 user interface allows you to seamlessly switch between web browsing, satellite and your networked media. Share, watch and control from your laptop, desktop, Android tablet or IOS devices. Talk to your A3, it listens with voice control.

The typical STB of “yesterday” runs with a 200-600MHz clock speed. Yesterday’s STB’s are mostly “system on a chip” with limited expansion potential. They leave you at the mercy of the manufacturer for updates and features. Someone else decides what (if any) media & apps are available and when.

Welcome to they way it should be, the way it is with Amiko A3…High performance dual core Cortex A9 running @ 1.5GHz. 1Gb RAM, 8Gb built in for applications. Internal SATA HDD bay. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean O/S, future upgradable to Kit Kat. Thousands of Google Play Apps to choose from.

It doesn’t need to be that hard to use or set up an advanced STB. AMIKO has a well proven track record of advanced STB’s with our Alien & Alien2 that are easy to use yet offer advanced features. Amiko A3 takes all that we learned from A1/A2 owners to make the most friendly STB on the market, thanks to the Spark2 GUI. Choose from a simple to follow graphically based setup or a more traditional hands-on set everything yourself configuration. Use everyday with the seamless Spark2 GUI interface.
