A dedicated box? Not to my knowledge. Perhaps you should start your search first in the Play Store and third party app sources for a suitable android app designed with the features you need, obtain the apk file and go test it out on some boxes. Alternatively, you can home-build a karaoke system by installing addons like XBMC Karaoke, Mikey's Karaoke or equivalent in KODI, that might be enough for you. Which means, just buy a box with good KODI, mic and sound support, install and setup the addon. Google is your friend.

Mikey lyrics screen so damn ugly lol...
Im also looking for better alternative

It gets the job done.
Difference is like comparing Myvi price to BMW price.
Mibox just RM2xx while Minix neo x8 is RM5xx

I'm using a Himedia Q1 with unifi VIP10 internet but the Kodi experience was very disappointing. Is it because the device? My box has 8GB internal storage and 1GB RAM. Is it not enough? I'm using it to watch English TV Series and movies only on Kodi. Mostly in HD 720p only. But, if possible 1080p would be nice.

I'm considering to upgrade to a 2GB RAM box. But based on my usage, the Minix Neo X8-H plus is a bit overkill. I've read all about the best android boxes but all the expensive ones. Can anyone recommend a good box under RM400?
*
How dissapointing?
720p is HD or HQ?

You are welcome. If you mostly require KODI and willing to invest more technical know-how, you could consider the Raspberry PI 2 running KODI with OpenElec. It's fast, much cheaper and a makes a pretty decent DIY media center. Alternatively, browse around the garage section or private sales websites like mudah etc or hang around Lazada (discount codes) for deals.
*
Raspberry cheaper?
Standard package is around RM200++ not including remote right?

Hi,

Is there monthly or yearly subscription needed for all these channels..??

I heard they are needed for those channels which like Astro.. AOD, Sport channels, etc..??
*
Yes correct.
If you dont need those but just need drama/movies, Kodi app is more than sufficient.

Anyone here have any experience with Nexus Player? Very interested in slick user interface, but my main usage is to replace astro. Can anyone here try sideloading myiptv apk on this device, to see if it works properly? Search around on this subject yield nothing useful, so I thought I asked here smile.gif

I know it doesnt optimized, which is why I asked in the first place, to see if anyone managed to run it ;P I just can't stand all the laggy/ugly user interface of all theandroid box in the market at the moment.
I am kinda noob here, but is Kodi=MyIPTV? I though myiptv is the app we used to view astro channel after paying some kind of subscription, where the apk is downloadable? What does it have anything to do with Kodi?

Uh my mistake.

Ugly interface?.... Install a custom launcher, it's android and there are tons... Customize to your liking.
Laggy UI?... Sorry bro, you must have been checking out crappy boxes. Fast boxes exist... Read this thread & visit YouTube videos & box reviews.
KODI.... It's an app that acts as a media center. It's just a shell and needs to be setup.. Input = Output... Once again Google & YouTube, a dedicated KODI thread also exists here on Lowyat forums. Know exactly what you are getting into.. NO media box.. Android, Android TV, IOS, etc box can 100% duplicate what the current Astro box does and with its ease. Why? Cuz Astro, Hypptv, etc are legit and licensed... Others like MyIPTV, Tvapp, CloudTV, IPTV Stalker, etc are not, also not reliable and can be shutdown at any time by the authorities despite having paid for them. You probably already know this, just telling anyway.

Boss what launcher u using?
Got launcher like Mibox launcher instead of Android-like launcher?

can someone recommend me any price wise android box that can offers hd channel for movies, documentary, and sports.

Dont mistaken android box with content, box is just a box (like a computer) while content (programs) are app based.
Most HD drama/movies can be watch FREE in KODI app.
Live Sports however is abit tricky if you dont want to spend for subscriptions, KODI still have some but u will need some research on which addon to be enabled ("addon" is like provider) u can read it more in the KODI thread.

If u prefer less hassle, then u have to subscribe to paid content like CloudTV, MYIPTV, etc etc that costs around RM300-RM400/year depending what content u want.

hello guys.im trying to make a comparison between MINIX NEO X8H PLUS vs M8S+
both specs r quite the same.anyone have experience on both pros n cons.
thanks
*
Minix has 16GB eMMC vs M8S+ has 8GB Nand Flash

Whats the difference? Well eMMC is faster than Nand Flash, but its not a very big difference though.
So although both box has the same CPU and GPU, but M8S+ would be slightly slower compared to Minix due to the storage speed (one could say its a bottleneck issue).

I also heard some netizen says the H.265 might not be working on M8S+ (tbh im not sure whats that)

Other than that its about the same (for common users, well if pro users would have more noticeable difference)

Sorry to ask that I've go across the topic but still can't understand. The TV box is it after I buy, I can watch any movie, drama or sport for free? If yes, can recommend me what brand can I get in malaysia? If no, then after buy the tv box, can do what?
*
TV box is just a PC, what content to watch depends on what app u using.
Some apps are free, like Kodi, CloudTV, CartoonHD and VST. Meanwhile most apps does not need any customization/settings (content are fixed), some needs like Kodi but depending what was preset and what content you looking for.
Although there are some sports content in the free apps but its not 100% availbility meaning it can be down anytime.
For Kodi app there are no issue with movies/dramas
But if Sports is a must, u have no choice but to subscribe to paid apps that costs between RM300-400/year (not included in box price)

Might be possible but with some minimal settings via Kodi app.
You may follow this Kodi thread and learn abit about how to setup. SportsDevil for sports content.
