Asteruxx means the illegal wan lor. Not allowed to be mentioned in this forum

Yeah man, and the sellers themselves wont warranty the unit even it is they themselves who jailbroke it. That is why Im leaning towards the original set. Dont want to have any headache later.

Of course I know what you are saying... I meant there are many providers with their own app... some are OK quality, some are bad, some masuk lockup already... usually these app don't care about jailbroken or not... they want to run on as many devices as possible... good luck...

bro, whatever box u buy, get the original unrooted, keep warranty.

this "root" thingy is rather oversold and under-understood.

what u r looking for, rooted or not is irrelevant.

sample applies to almost all apps.

the myths, benefits of rooting are less obvious, discussed in androidbox thread, page 34 onwards.

Points taken.

Thank you.

Quite to surprised to see you in these threads bro! Thanks for your explanation on rooting. Im pretty sure what to get now.

u will find me active in a few threads here.

as for yr hunting a new box, do read some of the threads, ask questions/

for a new user, it can be both very exciting and daunting.

Bro... can u save me some effort, and recommend me a box? I was really looking at the Xiaomi.

it doesn't work that way.

becos it all depends on u - what u hv, dun hv, what u want, dun want, $, etc.

Right. My budget is about Rm300-Rm400. Is the Xiaomi a good buy. I dislike the MIUI on the Xiaomi smartphones so Im unsure if I will like it on the android box even though they are two different products.

really, i do not know much about xiaomi.

i only know the intl mibox is powered by google androidtv which i hv on my 4ktv and that is quite good.

but i also know that box can't do hd audio which i need.

so, i have other boxes.

How many boxes you have? Rule of thumb is get the latest model which is usually the best. Just like android smartphones.

i hv 4.

not to hijack this mibox thread.... best to discuss "selection" in androidbox thread... page 1 may be useful for u.

Actually the main keyword is "international version" and Android "TV"6.0.
As for the AOG app, I have no luck running it on my mibox intl version. Keeps crashing or playback error. I'll just wait until there is a workaround it.

The mibox mdz-16-ab/Kodi 17.1 can get a DTS passthrough
by connecting HDMI to my TV which
then connects to my old Yamaha receiver with a optical cable.

"International" will likely get you AP set...about RM 300...

"Malaysia" will likely be the local Mi Malaysia warranty set...about RM 350...

Mi Box 3S jailbreak, etc...probably the China set...about RM 280...

Perhaps a reset may get Astro Go to work?

He wants 7.1 I think...

dd, dts = digital audio
5.1, 7.1 = multichannel, surround audio.

HD audio = dtshdma, ddtruehd
of course, there is now ddatmos, dtsx.

i have been playing HD audio since 2010.
to my knowledge, not many android boxes can pass thru hd audio, ddatmos, dtsx.

hi all,

i have been using mibox 3 for around 1 half months now. I bought the item from lazada MY RM 350.

what i usually do with my mibox, using KODI and youtube only, never do root or anything more than using KODI or youtube.

but i found a bit weird issue here and want to know if you guys have similar issue.
not sure for every week or several days, i always experience youtube become buffering and KODI become very laggy

Im prety sure that wifi connected with good strength and my home internet not that bad quality. It always make me give up and hard reset always success make my mibox back to normal.

please help if you guys familiar with this issue

I've not faced this before. Reboot the box doesn't help?

I too haven't faced this issue. I use it primarily for kodi, Netflix and Spotify. Smooth and nice so far.

Guys, lets say I need to watch any programs on the tv in my bedroom while my android box downstairs at the living room with the main tv, what peripheral can I use to be able to view and control channels in my room?

reboot is not helping, only hard reset will do.
