I just bought a MXQ S805 android box and it works like a charm.

Problem is, it comes with a SPDIF port which looks almost similar like a 3.5mm AV jack. It seems to be 'coaxial' but I don't recall any coaxial cables with a 3.5mm 'head'.

Any idea on this?

i believe need this- but not sure our cheap electronic stores sell this.

heard ppl can had success using SPDIF by just using a 3.5mm headphone jack type connected to the input SPDIF jack, and using only one mono rca cable as your coaxial to the receiver.

try this option first - coz it's the cheapest.



or can try getting an adapter coaxial to mono headphone jack and connect to the input. jalan pasar sells this adapter. just need to look around.

Sunvell been releasing a lot of boxes lately... Wonder can consider to get or not...

Yep, they appear to just be changing the externals... Internal specs remain the same... not a bad marketing strategy for those who prefer something other than the standard black. Could be wrong.

That is definitely not a SPDIF port. As for connection... SPDIF transmits digital signals, 3.5mm ports transmit analog signals. So a single cable will not work. An adapter or better phrased, a converter will be required. That's just bad luck, you got misled by crafty marketing.

You've already mentioned the Minix Neo U1... There's only one Neo U1... Any other Minix product, has a different model name and number.. Products other than Minix will not carry the Minix branding, as they have their brand name.
*Brand name is Minix
*Model is Neo U1

Hi, I need the box that meets my requirements.

1. One time payment for all. Free for lifetime.
2. English Interface.
3. Including ( Free Live Malaysia Channels )

If all above can meet, care to give models.

If number 3 unavailable.
Also fine for me.

This is a discussion treat, nobody gets spoon-feed here, spend some times do some reading and you'll get some good info and learn a lot. If don't bother to read then go for Assteruk.

actually, it is now very common to see, hear and read:

... more and more axtro users wanna quit.
... after quitting, they want same axtro content - for free or only a small price.
... uninformed axtro user think there must be box out there doing all that with minimal or no personal effort.

alas... the truth... axtro is eating in a restaurant; android box is cooking at home.

not the same, maybe similar in some ways.

the cook needs to know the oven, the wok, the knives, the ingredients, the recipes.

a good cook needs to learn, watch videos, search for info, experiment.



well... some people enjoy cooking, some don't.

the good cooks get to eat better food at a lower price!

poor cooks get to eat little or return to restaurant.
