welcome to the thread.

almost everyday, someone will pose the same question.

yr questions and quest will mark the beginning of a long journey!

it will be nice to able to answer u in a few sentences but no, it will take pages.

i would say some users here started 4-5 years ago, so, it's going to a bit of work and time for u if u really want it.

but here's what i can do - a few thoughts and some links for u to read so that u have a better idea, then come back and get to the specifics and details.

.. Aztro is aztro, there is no "replacement"; there are ALTERNATIVES. (i do not talk illegit/illegal stuff.)

.. android boxes typically do everything an old media player will do and LOTS more, i.e. playback, live streaming, networking, etc.

.. these boxes need updates, upgrades, new firmwares, new apps regularly, i.e. they are not "auto" push button type but need yr time, knowledge and effort to keep it working. u can buy a box with many things preinstalled but will still need yr effort over time as no one will come to "service" the box. so, it's very much DIY by searching, reading, watching you-tube demos, experimenting.

.. videos are streamed via installed APPS, sometimes called APK's. some are better than others; some are small and simple, some are big and complex; some stay good for a long time, some die within days, need new.

.. 30mbps is good, good enough for most streaming purposes.

.. popular english tv series and movies, mandarin shows are easy to get, even in HD; eng live tv channels incl sports in SD easy, HD very hard. and i mean free ones, not paid iptv.

.. u DL stuff.. what quality r u used to? if SD, the alternatives available will be very acceptable to u; if u r used to 1080p with DD/DTS/HD audio, that's a bit more challenging to get with online streaming.

.. there are like 100 brands each with 10 models to choose from; can buy online, at shops, IT centers, from LYN sellers, etc. diff in price is mainly due to chipset, android version, memory size, video and audio handling capabilities, networking capabilities.

hi how long does it take to ship from us ? no problem with the malaysian custom especially with sirim?

Request gb to use Kerry Express in the special instructions box and also select priority line if free, will take about 7 days... Fastest is by expedited shipping by DHL which is 2 days and have to pay...

You will get taxed by customs if the items is more than rm500...

hmm looking at it the hardware of minix u1 and nexbox a95x are pretty same... but minix is two times the price... may i know what other advantages minix have ?

Sunvil t95m also about the same spec different is it run on Android 6 and 8gb storage

Specs are not the same.. Plus with Minix, one is buying a box that its manufacturers actually defend and fix bugs or introduce features.. A custom Kodi app written specifically for their hardware and firmware...F.O.T.A (Firmware-Over-The-Air) Update System... Better third party apps compatibility... Excellent build quality and a box that stays cool despite being run for hours on end..

guys which of the following will you choose ?:

1. Nexbox A95c
2. Beelink GT1
3. Sunvell T95Z

All three also got 16gb and 2gb ram. Nexbox running S905 chip while Beelink and Sunvell running latest S912 chip. Price also about the same... Any advice the user experience ?

This one beats em all...Himedia H7 4th Generation

in what sense is the himedia more superior ? its more expensive as well

Brand has good reliability, firmware support plus this spec is latest, after conversion approx RM200, you amortised over one year only how many cents per day....

there are a hundred brands, made in china, mexico, brazil, russia, usa.

bigger brands and better reputation ones like nividia shield, minix, himedia give u less problems, better hardware, better firmware, better codecs, better support overall.

unless one believe a proton 2l is the same as bmw 2l.
