browse through almost every page of this thread for info before make up my mind to change my current c2pid media box (Philips HMP8100/98 with OS of 4.1.1 FW) to minix U1 or Nvidia Shield. Many current apps is not compatible.

Can any pro recommend which 1 to go for? Main purpose is to have it to watch HK Drama, and 90s to current HK movies, and English movie for free..and game. At the same time, can recommend me any androids apps to watch the above??

My ISP is maxis 10mpbs and the router is located in the storeroom thus the coverage can only get maximum 3 bar for my current noob philips media box.

Appreciate for you guys & girls help!

yr wifi is not very good.

it will work with small vod sd files.

but will not able to do hd or large files smoothly; can't stream live tv well.

better improve yr wifi coverage and/or go ethernet first.

even the best box can't perform if wifi is weak/slow.

stable dedicated 10mbps ethernet will be OK for the most part.

Thank you for your prompt feedback! will try improve the wifi coverage with wifi extender or with cable! any apps recommend to watch those HK drama & movies?

I tink i will go for Minix U1 as hardly can find any Nvidia Shield seller in Klang Valley.

Need more guides from u Gurus regarding android box. I'm totally a new in these gadget!! rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

for a start you can try out cheap M8s box, alternatively if u have the budget. get minix neo x8-h plus. But avoid Mibox at all cost (personal opinion).

I think i will straight for for Minix Neo U1. To save the hassle and trouble!! just wanna settle my wife demand to watch HK drama with just few simple click on apps.

Thanks for the recommendation!!

Definitely will avoid mibox..my fren regret buying that!!one lighting struck, that mibox say byebye already. doh.gif

only HK ones?

that's a little tough.

there are some in KODI - e.g. kissasian, azdrama... mostly in SD.

or find ahem iptv.
mandarin stuff - tons of them, plenty in HD.

China drama oso ok. As long as can stream via apps instead going through browser and type in every single drama details!

Tried azdrama to stream hk movie but not all can be play..dunno y.. vmad.gif

Currently i'm using Megabox for english movie streaming but not so up to date. sweat.gif

please be warned that operating a tv box is not as a matter of plug and play, one need to do a lot of reading and at least some basic tech knowledge to operate. if you just need to click and point on apps. a basic tv box will do (by the way, i using Neo U1 now). of course you may need to subscribe to a paid iptv. Please also take note take Minix does not support Netflix HD.

Yea, u r right. thats y i m doing the reading on the basic tech to operate while my wife just wan on, click and play. hahaha!

Another way of watching HK, China, Korean dramas & movies: download an app named "Rss Video Player" from Google playstore, then add following url in the channel setting "http://irss.se/dramas", have fun...

china dramas.. get buding and VST - these 2 will give u lots of good stuff. best if seller can pre-install for u.

azdrama... been around for a long time... but like many others... good to look at, can't eat. biggrin.gif

there are some better ones - kissasian, dramago, dramanice, drama24h - in KODI.

but none of them come close to what other apps offer in mandarin.
u may be in for trouble if u overpromise wifey...

more so if yr internet speed is weak/low.

will try for better wifi connection with cable or wifi extender. and also try KODI.

Thanks for the recommendation, Guru!
