Actually, it's not that cheap...LOL....RM299 + RM99 for the airmouse. (But airmouse you can use for other boxes as well).

Rikomagic MK 802 IV

http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpr..._39_pid_19.html

Pros:
- More RAM than most competition (2GB RAM vs 512MB/1GB RAM)
- More storage than most competition (8GB vs 4GB)...but take note the app partition still stuck as 2GB.
- Mini and cute ( )
- quiet stable (last two days watch Netflix marathon, didn't crash on me once....easily exceed 7 hours usage per run).
- Decent performance

Cons:
- No built in LAN port due to mini size.
- Maybe can be cheaper for a China product???

I think most Android boxes should work. But at least, this one confirmed can work...

But the streaming still loses out to the PC in terms of quality, sometimes video quality downgrade can ocur (it doesn't stop to buffer, you will see blocky video instead) due to maybe wifi problem or what i dunno and frames can jump a little bit once in a while. BUt it is not a frequent occasion. Not enough to disturb your viewing experience. Overall still very satisfied with the experience.

Btw, share a tip. Netflix for Windows 8 (from the Appstore) suppors Dolby Digital 5.1!!! So if you are audio maniac and want 5.1 sound, you can hook up a windows 8 pc to your TV and route the audio to an AVR (though i haven't try it), or just just the PC speaker sets.

Just need some advise, this unit ok or not ? many thanks

AVF always sells higher. The spec on that box is outdated. Trust me you wanna get the quad core stick or the minix neo X7. Wont regret the performance.

...and it's only RM299 bought locally from one guy here in Garage sales.

Bro, link pls for MK 802IV.

maybe consider minix neo X7 , because quad core stick will be hot
do you know where to buy minix neo X7 ? and the price ? thanks

unfortunately...i don't know who is selling it. There are some guys selling the older version in lelong.

Bro, link pls for MK 802IV.

i sell it now too...hehe....Watch NETFLIX until running nose and became addict.... Click my siggy if interested.

Bro, do you experience. nced un-synchronized audio/video of Netflix recently? Just sign-up last night but facing this problem. Or is it my htpc is under-spec for HD streaming?

Nope.  No problem.  Shouldn't be underspec problem.
Your HTPC should be more powerful than an Android mini pc.

from the siggy looks like a P4 htpc. if thats the case, not enough power.
and silverlight cant be hardware accelerated some more.

Oooh...P4...didn't noticed... i thought everyone should have at least C2D by now...hehe.

Seems need to upgrade the proc a bit to cope with HD streaming...thanks bro..
Hehehe...just use extra lying unused parts to build this htpc  ..so now need to browsing garage sales for C2D.    Thanks bro...

Don't want to consider Android stick instead of HTPC?

'Was' consider of it last time....but it can't play my 500MB HDD of movie collection. Plus there is unused part with me, i just assembly it then...
Btw, thanks for the offer bro..

No problem...but i don't understand...i have over 6TB of HD Bluray rips, most about 8GB-10GB per file on average also can play wor...  And i stream it from my PC with the USB 6TB storage box...
