Last time I install hppytv before and the quality is very bad. I uninstall after that

The unifi playTV is not great either but it is in a good watchable condition.

Just Google and you can find it.

since u have kodi and terrarium tv...why still need netflix ?

haha...

Netflix always my priority. The smoothness (hard to said in word, once you seen it then you know) and superior quality (4K, HDR and Blu-ray like 1080p) on Netflix is no way the Kodi and Terrarium can compare with.

If got legit paid service that is great with all latest content, I don't might paid it also. This is the reason I paid for Netflix because it got all latest Original Netflix show. I know you can find all Netflix Original show at Terrarium but you need wait and find source, and it is not as great as output from Netflix.

Kodi and Terrarium is only for content I can't find. It is backup only.

Like Andrewtst said
It's all about quality, official streaming sites like netflix, amazon etc will always have better quality compared to pirated streaming sites.
Unless la you download those mkv rips ranging 10-15gb size with huge bitrates + dts

Need some input.

1. Should I pay RRP(RM350+/-(?)) and purchase from Mi Official store?
Zekaisi Store is selling for RM216.31. (18/03/2018 10:59am)

2. Any significant speed difference between using WiFi and using an external Ethernet? Most of my activities is doing Astro Go only TBH.

Thanks in advance.

1. No different except for the warranty
2. For AOTG, WiFi is more than enough

FYI, I got mine from zekaisi store too. So far so good. I find it not worth it to pay RM 150 more just for the local warranty LoL

Yup exactly. except local one like iFlix. iFlix catalog not bad but too bad 90% of their title is SD quality only. If iFlix want to survive, iFlix should change and give option to choose HD quality.

I am actually very happy those legal streaming service is coming to Malaysia. I hope more and more such service will come to Malaysia.

If you notice new update mentioned fix for YouTube TV which is 400mb+, don't update it.

This latest stupid firmware greyout the install button for Not Android TV apps.

Whata stupid move did by Xiaomi! Please fix it!

Thnx2..👍🏼

heyy bro planed to buy it too how long did you wait for the product to arrive. and also about the warranty means that no warranty is provided?

If I remember correctly, it was about 2 weeks +-
Yeah I treat it as no warranty even though I think u can actually send back to them to assist on warranty.

okey bro...thank you for the info..

Finally problem solved by downgrading the firmware to 1304. I am able to install back normal apk again now.

Everyone shall avoid installing latest update 1901 unless you want to loose the ability to install normal apk.

Instruction downgrade from 1901 to 1304 firmware - for Malaysia or International Edition Mi Box "MDZ-16-ab" only

• Download 1304 firmware from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/9k82rbe2nc0vw/mdz-16-ab
• Rename as update.zip for easier find later and copy to Thumb drive root directory
• Disconnect the power cable from Mi Box with power still on
• Press and Hold the Back + OK button
• Insert back the power cable
• Continue hold until you see it boot to recovery mode
• Choose Apply Update from EXT
• Choose Update from udisk
• Select update.zip
• Restart the device

Done! Now I am able to install normal apk back.

Cons of latest 1901 firmware - Cannot sideload any non Android TV apk as the Install button is grey out.
Don't upgrade this 1901 firmware as it is useless, they said fix YouTube playback but they is no YouTube playback issue I ever face.

like to check with u... becos i also notice something like that with latest update on my androidtv tv.


when u updated to new firmware, were the existing apps were removed, u can't install them afterward?

or the existing ones ok but new ones can't install?

does this apply to all non-androidtv apps or just some?

Where did you get CHDV?

CHDV = ?

Existing one not remove and ok but cannot upgrade or install new one.

I think all none Android TV apps as I try few and all grey out the install button.

Thanks for info.

Looks similar to my experience but not all such apps affected, some can still install.

My tv is android 6.0.1, androidtv; previous 5.1 was fine.

What version yr box on... the new and current?

Possibly androidtv firmware version or security updates are getting tighter on sideloaded apps.

Hi,
Got a question regarding Mibox Pro (MDZ-18-AA). Was wondering if the USB-Ethernet device works on this unit? I'm currently running it over wifi; 433mbps AC, but read it somewhere that MDZ-188-AA max out at 300mbps (lol, what a waste on 5Ghz AC huh?)

so has anybody tried USB-Ethernet on this Mibox Pro(white colored box) before?

Thanks in advance

Sorry tag wrong people
