I have 2 mi box and 1 mi stick. The mi stick performs just as good as the mi box. I don’t notice any difference at all. And it’s so much more compact and just plugs in directly to the tv. Always remember certified android boxes are designed to run certified apps that are available only on the play store.
All other side loaded apps will cause instability to your box and will cause your unit too be flagged for piracy. My cousin works in MCMC. Just because they keep quiet doesn’t mean they don’t know. You have been warned.
And yes, even if you use a VPN they still know. Bear that in mind guys!

People thought
they use VPN they are being anonymous in the internet but sadly no. VPN is allowed by your ISP but then your ISP knows you are being routed to a VPN and eventually they know where is the
source IP of the VPN connection. MCMC has all ISPs under their jurisdiction and can ask for any info whenever they want if they want.
i would advice, if u guys didnt know, better dont give false info.
- sideload should be fine, its just put some apks into another device that running diff OS ( mi box, mi stick both running android OS tv, not regular android like phone). the apps might be detect running in diff OS, and might be failed to run due compatibility issue. but how to flag as piracy when u just running some apps ? lol. u pirate the apps ?

. sideload just sideload. install from non-google play store. thats it. its legal. unless install paid apps apk into that device, then its diff things.
- just because ur cousin works in MCMC, doesn't mean u know everything. even ur cousin mybe dont know much.

. do u even know what is VPN? how they works? what kind of encryption they use etc ?
a good VPN provider will use huge range of IP. ISP mybe know the ip, the routing etc, but thats all. but the data inside mostly unreadable. now with advance encryption and wider range of key cipher in bits, more harder for the data to tapped into.
