Meanwhile, for AstroGO, it needs Mouse to Navigate, any other way to use it without attaching mouse?

Nope because Xiaomi Mi Box is Android TV OS Box not Normal Android (in your phone or tab) OS Box.

You need mouse, mouse pad or air mouse remote control because it is not a Android TV apps, it is normal Android OS apps which not optimize for Android TV OS Box, that the reason it needs to sideload, it needs third party side load launcher and it needs a mouse.

Also the navigation is not as good as others Android TV OS apps.

Anyone has issue for Mibox S buying from Lazada or Shopee?

I contact Xiaomi TV Box thru FB directly, the quote is Mibox 4 RM 580 and Tmall M18(pro) is RM 499 and installed few hundred channels with auto installed everyday.

I intend to get one from Lazada, at just RM 265 but not sure what is the difference.

Official price for MiBox S is only RM 329 selling at any Mi Store.

I connect Mibox optical output directly to external speaker and not using TV speaker. I tried bluetooth as well both are having the same issue so i guess the problem is from the Mibox itself.
*
That the issue, nowadays should only use HDMI as sound output. If your external speaker not support, then probably is time think about changing to sound system support HDMI eARC / ARC.

Hii..

Anyone have any experience watching 4K HDR bluray remux on Mibox S? Hows the playback like? Is the Mibox able to handle high bitrate content? And what about dolby atmos passthrough? Will the mibox passthrough dolby atmos to my soundbar?
Thanks.

Mi Box had difficulty playback 4K HDR REMUX, the box is too weak to handle REMUX. Also not support of Dolby Atmos.

If you need all, go for Nvidia Shield TV 2019.

If you don't might no Dolby Atmos in TrueHD, go for Apple TV 4K, this device is very powerful and can handle all types of REMUX but only support Dolby Atmos in DD+ not in TrueHD. The rest format will auto switch to Multi Channel PCM. I am ok with this as you can't find many Dolby Atmos REMUX also.

plan to buy mi box s this weekend, before i buy i want to ask couple of questions.

1. after i buy the box, what should i do? just plug and enjoy?
Update the Mi Box if prompt new update available. Normally will have one as out of the box is not latest version.

2. if i had to install something (apps, etc) at mi box, is it difficult?
Nope unless you want side load none Android TV apps which need mouse to operate and not the remote control, also need side load launcher because it is not design for Android TV OS. Side load standard Android apps won't appear at the main screen as Android TV OS is different than normal Android OS you seen in mobile phone.
3. and after i installed the "apps", does the warranty void?
Nope.
4. i already read at the 1st page, but that was long ago, 2015.
Ignore it.
5. should i buy the mi box at authorized dealers (local stores @aeon) or just buy at shopee? If you worried get China version, better buy at Mi Store retailer shop.

hope sifus about mi box s can clarify me. thanks a ton!

Right now for certified Netflix devices, your choice are either Mi Box 4S or Mecool KM2, both should be around the same price and have local stock. I owned both, and I highly recommend getting the KM2 since it has more ports, a dedicated LAN, Micro SD slot as well as a USB 3 port. This is compared to just the single USB port that the Mi Box has.

Note that there is a third option, the Chromecast with Google TV. But I honestly won't recommend it since there are adverts on the UI, and Netflix does not let Google use it's database to populate it's front screen, meaning the UI is useless if you are a Netflix user.
*
Your Chromecast with Google TV information is incorrect.

This device is not official selling at Malaysia, which means they is no adv for you to see. The interface will look similar like Android TV box.
I purposely use VPN to US / Canada to see the adv as it is helpful to let me know more coming soon movies.
If this is very bothering, it can be turn off anytime.

2nd the Netflix recent view is always appear on main screen which act same as Mi Box Android TV box.
