What youtube version are you using? Or Kodi? If it's the KODI addon, it's normal.

For new Android TV box user, my advise used lan cable is the most stable. Not to forget check your Android TV Box LAN network connection is 10/100/1000.

Wifi can be used but signal connection and neighbors wifi signal will be obstruct, look for Android support 5ghz wifi signal.

bigger memory capacity is always best

this is a good question.

i have not come across any good dedicated taiwanese or korean shows apps.

but there must be!

the ones i know are tagged onto china apps - decent ones but they all come with chinese subs, sometimes dubbed in mandarin.

if looking for only taiwanese/korean shows with eng subs... it is tough.

limited selection in kodi addons like azdrama, drama24, dramanice, etc. - created by and for those who can't understand or read mandarin.

check kodi thread.
Yes agree, been using Kodi some time but feel lazy with the apps. each time need few key press then movie available but maybe drama is less for asia.

Since it a free streaming apps i dont complaint on movie quality some quality is good but some just so so.

so far watching live streaming news, variety show dont have lag some time loading slow.

I think for tv box still along way to archive real 1080p quality from broadcast station or DVD quality.

Still finding best app for digital asia station.

Thanks for your reply bro.

I understand there is no replacement for Astroxx. Even the illegit myiptv and HDTV has below par quality and sometimes not stable. What I mean is to replace ASSTROXX as not to pay astroxx anymore since I can stream free movie online, as that's what I usually watch anyway and all other Asstrozx channel is a waste.

I guess for HD sports channel, worst case is I will watch via AOTG app using my parents account. Still managable. As for iflix/netflix, watching through smart tv native apps is the best way to go to get FULL HD, even 4k content. Just a matter of subscribing monthly.

Since i have a 4K HDR smart TV, i guess i can get the best of both world with android box + smart TV. In the end my decision will boil down to whether I want to get a more reliable support/recommended by many (Minix Neo U1) or get a better spec, able to render HD audio and 4K HDR video (Q10 pro). I am more inclined to get Minix Neo U1 at the moment, since my smart TV can do USB playback for high grade files ( i think)

Again, thanks bro. I think I am much clearer now on which device will auit my requirement. In the mean time, I will cont reading this thread, Kodi thread and other related thread for knowledge.

Thanks.

Yes, that right. If you compare between Astroooo and any IPTV in market none come close. this is why i dont choose IPTV service If you have bigger TV size u willl have more issue of quality. For technology advancement in TV box like HDR video is good to have for further improve picture quality. Now days in TV box offer 4k is basically upscale video by using software to archive 4k. I still hope to see real 4k in future for TV box.

i'm been using about 1 year now, more and more andriod app been develop quality of streaming is better too.

Minix Neo H8???? Unknown model name.. As for hardware decoding, What app are you using to play the file? Also, what type of file is it?
Just to corroborate what has already been said.. Its only a matter of finding the source.. Some can't or would rather pay others to handle such.. So, it's up to you.
100% true.. As***ruk free... 5 years and counting.. No shortage of content..  whistling.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

Wrong model, its minix X8-H plus model. The apps is live stream player some channel had this issue. others dont have. i suspect is channel streaming issue on movie they stream.

Does the firmware allow such?

Yes can be done, my internal 16gb is not enough.

I think my internet speed had max out or need to upgrade for higher speed for new HD service not sure short of what sport HD streaming is lag resume lag some part... i think maybe from the broadcast site had max out.

Finally live streaming HD content for free watching...

LOL thats true!!!  hahaha

kschan10 Media Player are not replacement for subscribed channels; they are just supplementary and complimentary to what we have today.

BUt, yeah, some had ditched Astro, not bcoz they get the same channel, but they had more entertainment channels to view compared to Astro, hence they willing to forgo Astro channels.

Android TV boxes, there is no guarantee, you may receive a channel/stream today, the next moment, you might not be get it. You have to constantly, keep abreast on changing providers and streams.

so far had used for abouut 1 year, channel & live stream source no issue .... all the time got.

Live stream on News around the world no issue all ways have.
Live stream on Sport also have but some time is lag from source.

Youtube stream live channel with HD racing car channel... never fail

only some time lag of source is HK drama series.

best part of TV box is we are in control on what ever channel movie we want, even in Europe, USA drama series.

Get the Minix Neo U1... I'd pick it over the Mi Box any day without blinking. Do a search on this thread for a personal review and that of others.. I can tell you right away that I haven't come across a 1080p HEVC file it didn't handle smoothly..

my Minix H8 plus play 1080p with file size of 4gb run smooth without any issue. im still trying to find 4k file to play...

Yes it does.. That's probably the more popular H.264 format.. Having used it before, it can handle higher bitrate files such as BD rips.. Also H.264... If I recollect correctly, where it struggled was with a few H.265 files.. Probably fixed in a firmware update or so..

Nevertheless, if one's buying a device now, better to get the more recent Neo U1, especially as it runs lollipop... Needed for the upcoming Kodi V17.

Yes agree, next device im considering tv box with HDR function this would further upscale the quality.
