I have a mibox precracked with tons of China channels from different apps.

Can I install Xxbmc and access to English tv? As far as I know xmbc is an app to view english channels ?

Technically it's a media player that can stream almost any types of video from any source with nice slick ui.
For the channels you can add extensions for movie/TV shows/sports.
Also, xbmc has changed their name to Kodi now.

Can't wait for my Mi Box to arrive, this will be my first Android TV box, previously only used those classic A.C.Ryan Playon players.

If you're planning to use xbmc/kodi with mibox you'll need to root it so xbmc can work flawlessly
Something about xbmc needing root access so it can play mkv/HD videos without any problem.
I'm still figuring out how to add additional buttons/function on my harmony remote to control mibox.

Anyone using roku or amazon firetv here?
Planning to grab one just to get Netflix streaming in fullhd since only select few android devices are allowed fullhd content. Otherwise it's only 480p max resolution
Plus, i just upgraded to Unifi

Can it easily stream fullhd content on netflix?
Is there like a setting to force fullhd instead of suddenly getting low res during streaming?

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

Thanks for the name, found a link on taobao can get less than Rm200
BTW, do you get fullhd Netflix steaming on that box?
Also, how long was the delivery time since you bought from oversea store?

in lazada, i trust both these 2 sellers: TomTop and TomNet.
bought things from them several times already, all delivered in 1 week.

netflix fullhd i think you need certain drm permission to watch, normally cheap android box can't do it if not mistaken.
just ask the taobao seller if the box 固件 (firmware) is 外贸 (export model) with 谷歌服务 (google service)

Thanks for the store recommendation
Yep, I suspected that, which is why I'm still using my firetv stick for netflix, kodi & iptv apps
Just that I've read how there are certain android box out there than can do full hd netflix streaming

Is there a marsmallow update yet for that box? Every ads I see list it still using android 5.1
Thinking of either getting that one or m96x that has MM update but only 2gb ram.

These are the photos and please bear with the quality. My LG V10 decided to die on me last week. doh.gif Now using a 3 years old phone to snap these while waiting for my OP3T.

Red and white are for me to plug in speakers.

My right side speaker with red connector.

After plugged in...

After connected to my box.
notworthy.gif What is it called for the first one? Second pic I have. I will search from Taobao or Lazada.
Dimsum has nothing interesting... Deleted it right away... I got 60 days free when it was just launched...
I think most boxes support, even the basic HyppTV box also supports but make sure it is not rooted...
Got it. smile.gif

Wah, another Vostro 3450 comrade, or is it a different model?
Btw, dimsum app can stream fullhd for their content?
