We haven’t experienced this ourselves but had a customer who did. He used the information in the link below and it solved the darkness issue.

Vance & Angie are great! I'd purchased an android box from another supplier previously and could never get it to work properly. The unit from Vance & Angie along with their excellent support works great! I am saving more each month by cancelling my cable subscription than the unit cost! I will refer anyone looking to get a better choice for an android box to definitely use Home Arcade In A Box!read more

I don't have a lot of people i would say are " MY GUY"(s). no car guys, no insurance guys... but if someone was looking to upgrade or get a box, i would say i got a guy for that. Vance was awesome, and this is the best system we've had on a box. No issues, runs fantastic. 10/10 would recommend and would use again, no questions.read more

Im a newbie with the android boxes and after getting royally bent over by a kijiji deal with another person I thought one more try. I contacted Vance and purchased a new box from him. Right from the start Vance was straight forward and very helpful explaining things and showing me the ropes. I have since had an issue with an update so I returned to get more help, both Vance and Angie were more than helpful and got me back up and running in no time. My overall experience dealing with this company has been exceptional, keep up the great work Vance and Angie.read more

I was refered to Vance at Home Arcade in a Box by a friend, who insisted that the quality of product and service would not disappoint.
That was 100% correct. Vance and Angie take the time to make sure that you are totally happy with the product and teach, step by step, how to operate every aspect by yourself.
I was in need of a software update, one text message later and I was contacted and booked in for a remote upgrade where Vance told me over the phone, everything that he was doing and all of the changes in the software.
The best part of this is that the remote update was free of charge.
Thank you Vance and Angie for your unbelievable service. I have, and will continue to refer people to your fine company.read more

Home Arcade in a Box was recommended to me by a co- worker. She said I would get great support if I purchased from here. She was right. I ordered the Android TV box on the phone. I received it two days later. It was ready to go. My daughter said that they need updates. They don't. It's automatic. So we downloaded stuff and lost the set up. The next day Monday I was able to get remote help by Vance to reset it back up. Can Amazon do that??? I know they can't. Why buy from there. This was so much easier. Just telling ya. Don't waste good money on a site that won't give you any support. Thank you Home Arcade in a Boxread more

We bought an Android box off Amazon and have had nothing but problems with it from the very beginning. Getting help or even proper demonstrations to update/operate it has been difficult and disappointing. Then I heard about Vance at Home Arcade in a Box. I dropped off my box and not only did him and his wife update it quickly, they customised it to my husband's favorite hockey team, added folders strictly for kids shows and movies, and it is operating faster and better than ever! My husband is so happy to be able to watch the playoff games, ALL of them, now that our box is operational again. Knowing that I can just call for quick help, remotely, at no extra cost, is such a relief for this busy Mama. Friendly and helpful service is sooo appreciative! We will pointing everyone towards Home Arcade in a Box in the future because being able to count on help when you need it is worth its weight in gold! ��read more

Purchased my first android box earlier this month from Home Arcade in a Box, based on a referral from a friend. Dealing with Angie and Vance was a great experience, Vance took the time to demo all the features and specs of the Zoomtak box. The after purchase support has been great, and they respond quickly to questions by email and phone. The accessories Vance carries are great quality and well priced.
I would definitely recommend Home Arcade in a Box to family and friends, The support and service is exceptional, and I will be a return customer.read more

Absolutely AWESOME!!!! Very few issues with this movie box & issues I did have were because MY internet was outdated & slow. Once I fixed things on my end no problems at all. If I ever have any questions or have any issues my tech Vance remotes in & fixes. I have never waited more than 10 mins for him to get hold of me if I have had to leave a message. He explains things so I get it as I am not very computer literate. He is so awesome & I would recommend Vance & the product he works with!!!!read more

Last year I purchased a android box from Angie and Vance from Home Arcade in the box. U see a lot of different android boxes on the market these days. I learnt the hard way I purchased a box from someone off of Kijji the year before for way more money when it came time for updates and I called the guy back number was disconnected. I was stuck with a box I paid lots of money for could not get any updates this box was totally useless!!! I contacted Vance purchased 1 box. Then came back purchased 3 more boxes for my house. My friends and family also purchased boxes as well. What is different about Home Arcade in a box Vance offers excellent support for his customers. Excellent customer service tech support and great prices. I'm a firm believer u get what u pay for. The box pays for its self. How much money do u spend going to the movies or pay for movies on cable boxes? You can watch almost any tv show or movie from the past and current. Give home arcade in a box a try you won't be disappointed!!!read more

I was referred to Home Arcade in a Box by my bestie, so in October of 2016 I bought one. I have to say it is the best thing ever, easy to set up and to use!
I have totally cut out my cable which is has paid for my box a few times over already. We now have 2 boxes in our household, my parents have one, my brother has one and we all love them, as well as a few co-workers.
The customer service that I have received from Vance and Angie is amazing and if I ever have a problem with the box Vance is always there to answer my questions or concerns quickly and very efficiently.
Thank you Vance and Angie I was a very disgruntled cable user and now I love watching TV again, but my way!read more

If you have never used an Android Box, Home Arcade in a Box is the place to go. While there are many Android Boxes on the market; the Customer Service Vance provides is top notch and no doubt the best there is! Fast, efficient and solid customer service counts for a lot in my opinion. Vance is passionate and knowledgeable about the products he sells and is very patient about explaining things. He even provided links to his You Tube tutorials which i found to be very helpful. Much like a tablet, the boxes he sells are media streaming devices that are simple to set up and navigate. Vance makes it a straight forward venture; even for a non-techie like me. I've had my Android Box for over 2 years and he has provided remote updates so I don't even have to leave home. I love that he pre-loads and sets up the Box to make it a great investment for home entertainment.read more
