Yeah. Should advice ppl to learn first the hard way to use stock box before going impulse purchase and buy super high end one. For all we know, not everyone have 4K TV at home and super audio setup.

I have done some research and previously owned a himedia 4 years ago. I'm only looking into China channels drama , news and drama in particular, the rest are optional. May I know what's the best tv box I can buy, Budget below Rm 500, and can I get them in lowyat plaza
*
what is the model u have?

it may still be able to do all that!

the requirement for what u r looking for is not so much about the box but the apps.

becos these apps are usually small in size and work on multiple android versions.

of late, vod china drama are getting harder to get due to geoblocks and authorities shutting down the providers.

still, can get them with the right apps, just need to follow closely the updates, new versions, mirror apps, etc.

live tv - easier, several i can think of.

the key is to be able to find those apps at current versions.

u can either find them yrself or buy a box with the seller installing the good stuff u want.

Honestly speaking, it's a not too bad box for basic usage. Even now I have a 32GB storage box, I don't stream those Kodi's movies add on all the time. laugh.gif Sometimes I'm wondering what to do with such big storage. laugh.gif
For future proof I guess. tongue.gif

It does loads a bit slow when we try to install custom Kodi builds but works fine. Slap on custom launcher and it is a good to go Kodi machine.

Big storage could handle torrent links for Kodi perhaps in case people wanna stream those quasar stuffs (which I don't use). The wifi antenna of the hypptvbox is at usable level, didn't notice any buffering so far while my router is at top floor (Asus 55uhp)

Make sure it's the white box but I saw some guys responded in the dedicated thread that the recent update removes Google Play. sweat.gif I haven't checked out mine if it's affected for me because supposedly I have removed the auto update.
Anyway back to this box, it's a very basic box with limited storage. I only use it for Astro On-The Go, Kodi and some free IPTVs. Sufficient for these usages.

True. It loads a bit when opening Kodi but my own dedicated box loads very fast for Kodi. tongue.gif
I use it for Quasar, else the big storage box is so under utilized. laugh.gif

Erm, just try using it and see if it is sufficient for your usage. biggrin.gif

Err... Not worth at all. I got free from UniFi, actually my friend but since she is not using it, so she gave to me. tongue.gif
My HyppTV box is still the older generation.
RM 350 there is far better box out there. My own box is around RM 200.

This one. Wow, price increased so much!! I bought on 12.12 for 202.65 after discount from actual price - 230.28. Plus, I have another 5% cash back from my credit card, so I paid less than RM 200.

Still got cheaper deal from other sellers: http://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...g-12472624.html and http://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...g-16684188.html

"Unlocked"?.. What was unlocked? It wasn't locked in the first place. All she had to do was connect to WiFi..
