Used to be a good working app for me, did not update thus cannot use now. I am using Cartoon HD now, which is equally good

Does Iflix work on the new H8 Octa core or Minix U1? I know it worked on Minix8H Plus

Yea bro. So far with Cartoon HD, Popcorn time and Kodi, coupled with my iflix (use chromecast) There's more than enough content than I can consume...haha

Wah! Nice

I agree with you. I am quite skeptical on those lifetime free iptv..You need money to maintain the servers..

I am also using Q16 ( I think more than 6 months now), totally satisfied with its performance. My in-law has an older model android box, i think it is Minix 5. When i installed Kodi on the Minix and tried playing some videos (drama series), it did not stream well. It could not even play the HD files. Whilst my Q16 was able to handle all that smoothly. Hence, i think it would be worthwhile to buy a better spec 'box' for an enjoyable media experience.

I think you probably need to up your budget a bit to around 450 to 490 to get a good android box

To be honest bro. I've gone down this path and I find the live football you get from android boxes are not gonna be too "smooth" or either at critical moment, it may give you problem. I've experienced that when i tried to watch an important match.

I've subbed to IPTVs and used apps, but at the end of the day because I wanted to have a top quality experience, I went back to subbing Astro for the sports. Having said that, for all other aspects such as watching movies, anime, series etc, my Himedia Q16 is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me after smartphone. Trust me, once you owned an android box or similar device, you can never live without one. Cheers bro!

I live in a 2 storey house and have tested both powerline adapters and wifi for video streaming on my android box. It is important that the power sockets must be within the same "phase". I ensured mine was within the same phase and circuit as well (i've read it is better). I've heard from a friend when used on a different phase, data transfer is too slow.

It performed well but when I compare vis-a-vis my wifi, I do not see much difference. My videos could still stream well. Thus, I just continued with my wifi for convenience as I tend to move my android box from ground to 1st floor all the time (when I want to watch in my bedroom).

So in conclusion, my wifi worked pretty well for my video streaming and I am using a stock router from Maxis. Hope this helps others.

However, I would like to state the videos I watch are mostly SD and max HD. I've never compared for higher definition files.

Will a Maxis 10mbps line stream Bluray or 4k files smoothly on a Himedia Q16?

Netflix is finally available in Malaysia. Has anyone tried installing on their android box? Especially Himedia. I am currently overseas, can't try

Did you managed to install netflix on your Q16?

Nice!

Indeed, the Mercedes of Android Boxes...

You can find a seller at Digital mall, PJ for MiniX where they install apps for you. 1st floor right beside the escalator. I bought my Himedia there and they install the apps for me. So far 1 year on, everything still ok.

I think when I bought it was around RM500 plus (Himedia Q16). So far it has served me well. But seems like MiniX is slightly better as it can also install iFlix, Himedia can't. I chose Himedia after reading through Low Yat forum and recommendations from bros here.

I can say Himedia, Minix and XiaoMi Box is the most discussed android box in low yat. So plenty of advice if you have problem. I would personnally recommend Minix, i think also about Rm500 plus now. You won't regret it. i don't have the contact but the seller post his shop in Low yat

here's the link of the seller

They install an app called Cloud TV for you. You need to subscribe to it. I think USD 40 for 6 months etc, different pricing. It contains Astro. I sub to the 6 months package before, works ok. But picture quality and audio is so so only, so i no longer sub to it. Just using Kodi and Netflix

For your info, i still sub to Astro because that is the only way for me to enjoy quality sports content.

Yeah. You need to install Kodi first, then learn to install the relevant addons. I've seen HK drama available on Drama24H addon. I don't really watch HK drama so I can't vouch whether it is stable or not.
