As mentioned in an earlier post, the main difference between TVpad2 (TVpad M233) and the earlier version (TVpad M121S) is that TVpad2 has a better CPU and GPU compared to TVpad M121S. Another difference is that TVpad2 has a WIFI chipset built-in, so you don't need to use a WIFI USB stick anymore. Furthermore, TVpad2 has the ability to play games using the game controller. TVpad2 will also have VoIP feature in the future.

My experience about the TVpad2 (TVpad M233)

First, the start-up time of the mediaplayer is short and the loading time of the apps is also quite short. I did not really notice any huge difference if I have to compare it with the TVpad M121S.

Furthermore, it's great that a WIFI chipset is built-in. I have not encountered any problems watching livestreams or video on demand content using a wireless connection. It will only take more time to load the TV livestream or video on demand content (this depends how good the wireless connection is) compared to a wired connection. Also, TVpad2 will remember the WIFI setttings, so you don't need to setup the WIFI connection everytime you start the mediaplayer. You need to take into account that various factors can influence the wireless connection (for example the distance between the router/modem and the TVpad mediaplayer). If you encounter some problems with the livestreams (for example, if you can't watch the livestreams fluently), then try using a wired connection.

About the TV apps, I have noticed (and many others) that there are black bars (on both sides of the screen) in the livestreams of the HK app 粵海寬頻. Also, there is some lag in the Japanese niji show app (audio and video are not in sync). The TVpad management already knows this and they are planning to release a fix in the near future.

The TVpad games can be played using the game controller. There is currently 12 games that can be played and more games will be released in the future. I have played a couple of these games, they are easy to play (it's not difficult).

VoIP is a nice feature, but it is not available yet. I am hoping more livestreams (whether it is from HK or from another country) will be added in the future, I think most people buy this mediaplayer for the livestreams.
