Good thing no cheap.. Cheap thing no good.. .. One vote for the Minix Neo U1!..

Dear confused newbie,

All boxes are worth the money cuz it cost money to manufacture and ship to you.. The question you should be asking is: Will your needs be somewhat satisfied after the purchase?... So, do the neccessary and read a couple pages of this thread.. The more you read, the better you know and the less of a newbie you become.. Return when you have a more concrete idea of what you want, besides just "an android box".

Regards,
Dark Side.

well im trying to save time to read the thread allllllll the way back just to know which is better. its okay. getting the mi box then. easy. thanks for ur help.

That's my favorite saying also... LOL!

\if u read ALLLL..., u will find this!

if u can provide the info, maybe u get some comments.

can someone help me... i cant subscribe unifi due to new Taman. TM also no budget this yer to install unifi line.
therefore im using Yes 4G 28GB / mth.

can recommend me wat i shuld use?

.. your broadband speed. H+ to 4G LTE (limited 28GB quota)
.. will use ethernet or wifi? Ethernet
.. want only english or only canto or only mandarin or...? english + malay optional
.. want eng subs, chinese subs, whatever subs...? eng subs
.. want movies or tv shows or live tv, what languages... give examples. liveTV astro channels
...must have live sports incl all epl? yes especially La Liga + UCL ..but epl optional
.. can accept sd or only want hd? im using mobile data so no need HD
.. want hd audio (dtshdma, dd truehd) pass thru for yr home theater? optional
.. want legit iptv like netflix, iflix, astro on the go, hypptv everywhere? i want to terminate my astro and start using something else but getting similar to astro channels
.. want ahem iptv , i.e. aztro and the like? nah..
.. your knowledge level with androids? intermediate
.. budget - min and maximum max rm60/mth

it will be terribly inefficient and costly to use yr broadband for the box.

your 38gb will be consumed within a couple of days, if not hours.

i really think u should drop the idea until you have unifi or maxisfiber or time.

Agreed with Sifu AVFAn. there is no way you can use broadband to stream you box in long run. If you cant get unifi, streamyx 4mpbs or 8mpbs still can do the job.

By the way, is there a app for lowyat forum? or you guys just give input via desktop like me?

Check in PLay Store...they is a app

hi, wanna to check with u. does himedia h8 support 1tb hdd plug to it and play from the hdd?

1TB is a piece of cake.

many boxesn incl that one can support 2TB.

want 3TB?

thanks. read some review from internet that some android box only can detect up to 16gb external source of storage. so just need to make sure

I think by "16GB external source of storage", it should be the 16GB internal storage, also referred to as the "on board storage", for apps, data, etc... The typical Android box has between 4GB and 16GB internal storage (with the exception of the Nvidia Shield Pro which packs 500GB storage). However, such boxes still allow "external" storage devices such as memory cards, usb drives, etc to be connected and accessed.

Rest assured, there are boxes which can accept up to at least 6TB (largest confirmed so far) external hard drives.. I.e. The Minix Neo U1 or Minix Neo X8-H Plus..

thank you. good to hear that. so far my choice came down to either minix neo u1 or himedia h8 2g+16gb

I plug in 2tb hdd. No problem at all..

Tat time i also consider tis 2 models, after the seller recommend lite user like me just watching live tv and movie from hdd i decide to H8. Ofcoz minix come with better spec.

hi guys,

longtime did come this thread.

I'm still using old-skool hiMedia q5II and am facing a problem with the browser (not sure is because low RAM or low Space), everytime try to open those website that stream HK Dramas it keeps on hanging (suspect those adware keep eating up the resources).

Previously was using an app to watch HK dramas but recently that app updated and no more latest HK Drama.

Any advise on what to do, which browser to use, or any app recommend to watch latest HK Drama?

try kakoze.

cool. thanks.

Boss, how's the quality in kakoze eg 720p?
