Why no point if cannot play Astro? If you want to watch Astro why buy Mibox? Why not just subscribe to Astro? You know all these illegal IPTVs are illegal right?

There are a lot of quality streaming content you can subscribe to.

astro go apps is legal. its just not support running on android TV os natively.

Hi everyone, Mi stick or Mi box is better in your guys opinion? Tq
*
this simple question, is diff based on ur need.
u can simply google it
https://www.dignited.com/66593/mi-tv-stick-...-right-for-you/

mi box s around rm220
mi stick around rm130

the only downside for mi stick, is lower RAM (1GB), no 4k( limit 1080p). hence cheaper price.

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 ? laugh.gif . 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. laugh.gif laugh.gif . 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.

Bought Mi TV stick.

Simply amazing,

Astrogo (need mouse)
Netflix
Disney+
HBO go
Apple Music
Geforce Now (720p30fps, higher setting will become laggy)

Running superbly well. The only con is need mini fan to blow it cold.
*
you can run geforce now on mi stick ? i though the ram is only 1GB and require for it is 1.5GB.
and which server u connect to ? is it singapore ?
i have nvidia sheild, only play last time when the server at EU and its not playable due to high latency.

bought mi box s, streaming from netflix, disney+ doesnt seem to be problem. but whenever i try to stream on apps such as moviehd, it seems to lag and stutter. any idea on what is causing the issue and the fix? tq
*
most of the streaming app is depend on the server and ur connection. and based on ur feedback on netflix and disney, ur connection seem fine.
so its must be moviehd.

and if i remember correctly, moviehd is hosting free movie that actually not 'free'. and its illegal actually because not go thru proper copyright. so based on this, i would assume their hosting server capability is not that good compared those legal service like netflix @ disney+.
and with high user + low server capability, this factor might effect ur experience such as lag and stutter.
