Hi guys, I just bought my second Android Box two days ago (My first is Minix Neo X8-H bought two years back, very high quality android box!).

This second model is quite new on the market, I placed the order on Lazada on the 9th Nov, shipped from China, received it 11 days later. Cost me RM312 after coupon.

This model probably the best deal now I believe

It is H96 Pro+ Octa-Core, Marshmallow 6.0.1 TV Box (32GB) Amlogic S912 CPU / 3GB RAM / Android 6.0 / 802.11a/b/g/n / 4K*2K ultra HD

The best part is 3GB Ram and 32GB Rom!

After two days playing with it, I would say it's very stable, fast in gaming, play 4K videos with ease, Kodi and other IPTV apps work flawlessly.

It's really worth buy!

Anyone else got this model and care to share any issue? Tq

Interesting... hmm.gif

A seller spamming with some flair perhaps? smile.gif

Saw this Khadas Vim Open Source TV Box with Amlogic S905X Quad-core + Android 6.0 + OpenELEC + Ubuntu + Buildroot System + Bluetooth 4.2

Specs looks cool
Specs do look cool and it's an interesting project for sure.. Target market would be enthusiasts and some intermediate DIY skills required. So won't fly here, judging from the popular help me posts. Most can't even grasp the concept of apks, server load, source scraping, etc.. Handling OpenELEC or the beloved Ubuntu OS would see them cursing the device when hands on fixes are needed.. Keeping my eye on this one. Thanks.

i can only find cheapest selling at 49.99 usd. And it does not have remote control?
found it in gearbest...

Support miracast. Meaning, can I use the youtube app with chromecast to play videos on the tv?
*
Me thinks you are slightly confused.. Miracast while similar is not the same as Google's Chromecast and Google Cast. So might want to watch a YouTube video or 2 explaining those in detail. Most devices have miracast and Google casting features built in. Some work good and others can be problematic and not work all the time. Personally, for casting YouTube videos from a mobile device, I prefer to cast directly to the Smart TV itself. I recommend doing the same.

I know that I will be asked to read the posts for the few pages back.

But I would sincerely like to ask you if someone can do a simple summary to ease the users here smile.gif Not all of us are good at the terms and techy stuff.....

Primarily need to use the tvbox to watch CHINA DRAMA. Secondly china news like cctv and local news.
Hong Kong, Western drama/movies are an added advatage.
Thanks in advance

Good.. Here's why newbies are asked to read a couple posts back.. It's cuz the summary you seek has already been posted over and over again.. Info in the summaries are still relevant and unchanged at the moment. Also, it's because many newbies come in here expecting Prof. Dumbledore's level magic, that there's a box that does it all and allows em to terminate legit IPTV services like As***. Newsflash, there isn't a do it all box and buying an Android box does not equal world peace.

So if you want to buy a box and get your hands dirty, folks here are more than willing to help. However, if you want a box and your criteria includes illegal IPTV and movie sources and setups.. Head over to the garage sales section. Plenty of sellers willing to answer such questions and sell you a package. Be prepared to pay for their time and services.. Wanna ditch Astro but not work for it right? Comes with consequences..

Oh yeah, welcum to the thread and get the Minix Neo U1 or Nvidia Shield while you are it.. Both devices are rock solid, do not ship with illegal stuffs, but can be modified based on personal preferences. biggrin.gif

Hi all,  i want to buy a tv box but i dunno wat to buy..there are many brand and models. Any one can help me..?  Mi Tv box 3 izzit ok or not?

It's all a matter of personal preference.. See my above posts.. The Xiaomi Mi TV 3 is sufficient till you demand more than it can output, then it's no longer sufficient and you'd wish you got a box with better specs and or firmware.

Like "which box is best to replace axtro", this question has been asked many times in this thread.

The simple answer is FORGET IT.

Becos it is too costly, will use up yr quota in no time.

SD... 1 hour... 200-500MB
HD... 1 hour.... 1-4GB

Unfortunately yes, video streaming will take a huge chunk of the quota... The "setting" to reduce data usage is to avoid using data completely.. Basically, don't stream and or choose which content to stream and which to not.. So you are the switch. nod.gif

Hint: There are even single 1080p files that are over 30GB in size.. High bitrate content..
