I’ve just bought a MiTV 4c.
Is the UI/capability similar to Xiaomi Mi Box?

What is the specs, etc?

Is it China brand, made in Thailand?

Astro is now using this brand as the decoder

Lousy as hell, problem in the first week

Keep showing hdmi cable error, after change cable will have same error after a few days

China brand. Should be made in China as well.

I’m quite impressed with the performance to price ratio.
The fact it works well in the xiaomi ecosystem is good as well.

Edit : mitv uses PatchWall UI which is different from Mi Box.

seems like we are talking about different thing

i am talking about the stb brand MiTV, not the xiaomi MiTV

Yes you can either IR or BT.
IR remote = Confirm cannot use voice function.
BT remote = Not all BT remote(with voice function) compatible with MDZ-16-AB. Some, just home, back, vol+, vol-, power.
I bought mine from seller 'Visiongadgetry'.
Stated bluetooth(no voice function), actually it is IR.
Waiting for my next purchase(3rd remote)
Hopefully it compatible(voice function) with MDZ-16-AB.

Try connecting to your 2.4g network. The Mi Box has issues with the 5g network. I tried both and the 2.4g is now rock solid. No disconnections at all.

My Mi Box doesn't has 5G connection issue at all, but once I activated DNS changer, it shows no internet connection and weird thing is I still managed to watch online streaming on Kodi. I only on DNS changer if I using Kodi, else I will off it.

Would appreciate if anyone can recommend Bluetooth headset to pair with Mi Box 3?

Avantree Audition Pro

so far the only affordable wireless BT HP that comes with APTX low latency

didn't notice any lip sync issue when using this compared to other BT headset

Review & functions on Mi Box Android TV 8.0.0 - Oreo

Interface

• Compare with older Android TV 6.0.0 interface, I much more prefer this new interface, it is more useful, easier navigation and function with much premium nicer look.
  
• Apps - you can pick and put your favourite use apps.
  
• Play Next - you can customize next to play film and halfway playing film will show here, not for Netflix film you watch as Netflix not allow.
  
• Netflix - if you subscribe to Netflix, your recent play film will show here and also include the ability to direct switch profile.
  

Apps

• By Clicking the "Apps" button will bring you to all installed Android TV apps interface where you can select the less using apps to open here.
  
• On top "Get more apps" open Google TV Play Store for finding more new apps or updating the installed apps.
  

Channels

• Scrolling the main page "Channels" let you directly interact with the apps without needed to go inside the apps itself.
  
• You can customize the Channels to appear in main home screen or not and also select what to display. This Channels is limited to apps that is support on it only.
  

Google Assistant

• This new Google Assistant is very well done and it is officially support in Malaysia. I find it searching capability is ahead Apple TV 4K Siri where currently Siri is not support in Malaysia iTunes account, also Google Assistant is given a better result.
  
• You can ask what is today weather in Kuala Lumpur when you want to know today weather.
  
• You can also search for title you look for, for example "Beauty and the Beast" and it will show you result related to it. Once you click on it you have the option to watch the trailer at YouTube, watch at Netflix or buy at Google Play Movies.
  

Others New Features in Android TV 8.0.0 - Oreo
The comparison with Apple TV 4K video quality is my sincere truth comparison, not for reason of promoting it, I won't promote thing I get nothing beneficial.

• 10-bit Deep Color - Finally Deep Color is working properly and not broken and support 10-bit YCbCr in 4K, this enhance the video output quality. It is better than previous 8-bit but still not on par video quality compare with Apple TV 4K where have much smoother color rendering and also better 1080p upscale quality.
  
• HDR - Finally Netflix support HDR output.
  

Cons / limitation

• I get smooth playback only when I set as 10-bit Color, I not sure why it is stuttering from time to time if set as 8-bit Color.
  
• Amazon Prime Video still required side load as not officially available at Google TV Play Store and also not support HDR playback.
  
• YouTube also not support HDR playback. At least it is support up to 4K playback not like Apple TV 4K only up to 1080p.
  
• Normal side load not Android TV apps but normal Android apps still required third party launcher to show the installed apps.
  
• Click power button to sleep and wake back still required for certain none Android TV apps installation.
  
• Sound sync issue still happen sometimes and the only solution is exit the apps or restart the device.
  

Bugs that not happen in previous Android TV 6.0.0

• 3rd party wireless /air mouse right button to go back previous screen is broken.
  
• NTFS / exFAT drive is not readable.
  
• Auto frame-rate switch that is not functioning proper is getting worst now where previously report at least KODI is able to do this but now it is totally broken.
  
• Stability in latest Android TV 8.0.0 is not good and I had facing few times hanging already where it often happen when I switch on the device and not waiting it full load by clicking the remote control for navigation, this not happen in previous version of Android TV 6.0.0
  

Additional Talk - Google Play Movies v/s Movies iTunes

• Google Play Movies still only up to 1080p content to purchase in Malaysia, also some older title is running the older version of master copy. For example I notice include "The Sound of Music" is using old 45th anniversary master copy not the 50th anniversary master copy use in Movies iTunes which correct the color tones and also the inconsistent color issue. Another title I notice is "Beauty and the Beast" is an earlier master copy also and not the latest 25th anniversary copy that include new extra footage. Beside this, I notice for film I own in both Google Play Movies and Movies iTunes where Movies iTunes video quality is at least slightly better output. Also additional good of purchase Movies iTunes is I get the extra contents but Google Play Movies only the film itself and price of Google Play Movies often expensive than Movies iTunes. Off course Movies iTunes also not perfect as certain title is 4K HDR in US but not in Malaysia iTunes account.
