What you into bro? Live streaming? Games? Software?
Btw, majority are chinese software, even live TV apps are for china tv stations.

Yup. You can remote install too... it's quite good this app...

Hk series or Korean series

I am not sure but dont seems to get much of HK and Korean stuff from Shafa. It's better to search for other sources.

Anybody bought the mi box Malaysian version yet? I'm currently using KODI on my hypptv box but when viewing some HD content (example - BBC One HD from Freeview), the video is in slow motion (lag?). However when playing on my PC, the video is smooth. Wondering if I get the mi box, will it be smoother compared to the hypptv?

I got mine yesterday and all HD contents are smooth. My Hypptv box now becomes brick...lol..it updated to the latest firmware so don't have Google Play anymore. I bought the Mi box from 1Gadget for RM349.

mind telling what version sold in malaysia?

Mibox 3 international version (with android TV 6.0).

thanks for the info.

The model is MDZ-16-AB. It comes with June 2016 firmware and the updated firmware is dated October 2016.
It is the same like Mi box chinese 3S which are sold cheaper. The difference is the International version comes with Android TV and google cast while the 3S is using their own launcher and miracast.

im using HDTV app and cant go in MENU to switch btw table or phone mode.
Androdi TV dont have MENU button. Any solution?
I'm using another Mi controller / MI REMOTE APP that have MENU button and it doesnt work too

Just joined the club still playing with the original China firmware using GITV. Most of the contents have restriction, else slow buffering or paid contents.

Tried installed some of the famous live TV / movie apps, most of them cannot play due to region restriction. Also installed Kodi and added few addons, so far so good. Using everything stock yet, still considering whether rooting it since so far can install 3rd party apps without rooting.

Hi Guys, just a question on the box.

If I were to install Skype, will the box be able to support USB Camera?

Has anyone tried this before?

See that yours is MDZ-18-AA,is there a google chromecast ultra built-in like the international version MDZ-16-AB?

I'm officially a club member as well. Received my Mi Box official Malaysia unit a little while ago. Overall experience is nice, similar to my good old Nexus Player. I like the remote's tactile feedbacks.. Overall build quality is better than the Nexus Player, IMHO. The only drawback I'm seeing now is the updates for Android OS like other members mentioned, it's still running on Android 6.0.1 where as Nexus Player already running on 7.1.1 many months ago.

As for 4k performance, I didn't get to test it as I don't have a 4k TV.

Here's a photo with both sets side by side:


Just want to add that I notice that Mi Box has a lot more app selections especially games compared to Nexus Player, most likely due to the aging hardware for Nexus Player. I'll use Google Cast, Kodi and YouTube app most of the time but will definitely check out the games since I have 2 x Mi Gamepad Controllers.

What Chromecast Ultra built-in features are you referring? This is Enhanced version with Patchwall, without HDR and 3D support. It also do not have 3.5mm audio jack compare with 3S version.

i mean can you cast videos from your phone/tablet to mibox?

i mean can you cast videos from your phone/tablet to mibox?

Can, using the stock app Miracast with Android phone no issues at all with a little latency (<1000ms) but casting with iPhone using AirPlay, only certain apps can be cast (Photos, cant remember what else) not the entire screen like Android.
