can find at garage sale, facebook.

the Mi Box from official M'sia Mi vs those imported, any different? Mi Msia outdated version?
Can both view mandarin/english movies from oversea for free, or need topup?

Guys, I'm selling my Mibox for RM 275, bought it from lazada & only used it once. Reason for selling, android TV is not my cup of tea.

Terminated my 10 years asstro service after used xiaomi box for few days. This blood sucking company somemore need to give 30days notice for termination.

Any guide on first time usage of mi box /android box.
Kinda clueless here what to start?

1) Get a USB to RJ35 converter with USB 3 ports extension, you can direct connect using network cable from your router.
2) Get a 2.4Ghz wireless mouse with keyboard to help you navigate around.
++ to scroll, press OK while move the cursor down
++ some apps need to use keyboard to scroll
3) To extend your 8GB storage, get external USB and make it as internal storage
4) Side load/install the X-plore or ES Explorer apk (download to your USB)
5) There apps for different areas: live tv, drama, movies, sports, cartoon, player browser, ad block and not forget kodi.
6) Look into https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3115619 for those apps you want to install, another way you can also google for it.

Note: You don't need all. Choose the particular suit to your need.

7) If you are Kodi fan, look into Kodi forum https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3943906

Side load = means download from your computer or mobile, copy to your USB and plug into your mi box, and from there install the apk

Other information:
- Mi Box will auto update itself even though you did not select it. It will reboot after finished.
- After latest update, the shutdown selection is missing. The shutdown is replace with sleep mode when you shutdown your TV.
- Set resolution to 1080 (for my case)
- You need extra storage extension, if you need to play games. I am not game fan, I don't need yet. May be when I start to get bored with movies.
- Educate them on those apps eg. movies, drama: some may be unsuitable for them. Don't spoil your children.
- You need good internet speed at least 4MB and above.
- Do not be over expectation, free apps come with ads, also some site are slow and performance is not that you expected.
- As I know some China site cannot be access without VPN,

Search the forum for more information.

Awesome tips! New user here. Just replaced my 2nd gen WD TV which was starting to have problems after 6 years.

Any compatibility issues with RJ45 to USB adapter? Any specific model/chipset to buy that is guaranteed to work?

Any issues with using Logitech Unifying receiver for both a mouse and keyboard?

Search for UGREEN in this forum. That's the brand I used. It works wonderfully.
I believe other brand can work if they have plug and play feature feature in the chipset.

Thanks again. I see from my search results that some people have experienced slower speed with LAN vs Wifi, possibly because of the limitation of USB 2.0. So I might just get the model without extra USB ports and use a Bluetooth keyboard instead, so as not to overload the single USB 2.0 port.

Sure nice guy here...
I do expect the answer in link.
But I get the step by step answer

Didn't know about the converter, will look into it.
Read some post about the keyboard too. They also mention get the keyboard with mouse capability
External USB seem a must have
Also thanks for the streaming thread. Not know that before

Thank you also for the other information tips;
will keep it in mind.

Should make it first page post

the Mibox come with USB 2.0 port so if i wan to buy the Ugreen USB Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB Hub, just get the hub with 2.0 will do. As it only support up to 2.0 right. even i bought the 3.0 it will be able to fully utilised.

am i right to say so?

Yes. Anyway I am using the usb3 adapter since it wasn’t that expensive. Can get about 350-400 up and down testing with Speedtest on my 500mbps time fibre connection.

Anyone using their Mi Box with Logitech Harmony Hub? I finally had the time to add my Mi Box to my Harmony last night, and it has trouble turning the Mi Box off.

When I press the off button (on my Logitech remote), my TV and HT turn off correctly as normal. I also see the white light on the Mi Box blinking once, so I guess it received the signal, it just doesn't turn itself off.

Then when I turn on everything again, the white light on the Mi Box turns off for a while, then turns back on.

So functionally, I can use my Mi Box when I want to. It's just that I want to fix the power off if I can. I don't want it to die early just because I never turn it off.

Maybe you could try adding it as Nexus player?

Hi,

I have a Mi Box 4 K international, I noticed some apps like Redbox TV or Mobdro when it play - eg. news, it run fine, however every 3.5 - 4 minutes, it get lag and hang.

I have to get out of it and start again. This happen every 3.5 - 4 minutes every time.

Any idea? Someone have the same experience ?

I have already added extra 8GB USB internal storage to it. There is plenty of space.

I am using Time dot Net. Is it the ISP provider or the server side issue?

Please try to select your keyboard as Hindi version and try again.
Also remember to install Set Orientation app as well.
