Hi guys, i finally got my mi box s yesterday.
Bought from lazada during the 9.9 sales for rm220

2) what are the recommended apps to download from play store?

Thank you

I'm subscribe to 100MBPS Unifi and connected my box to Ethernet/USB dongle and not using WIFI. SpeedTest shows I'm getting 100MBPS and it's fine for my streaming.

FYI on the dongle-->UGREEN Ethernet Adapter USB Gigabit Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps/1 Gbps with USB 3.0 Hub 3 Ports.

May i know how to play downloaded movies from my usb thumb drive?

Just go to your file USB folder them select the movie file?

Cannot..have to download apps..its ok i will googled it

astrogo built for mobile has never been fully supported on any non-mobile device - box or smart tv.
however, users could sideload old versions incl v8.2.6 and make it work.
the trouble is v8.2.6 may be decommissioned by 30 sep... so, u can keep using until then.

u can try out new version but so far, ATV devices suffer from judders on HD live channels.

hopefully, a modified working ATV version will emerge in time.
the good news is this new version does work fine on many other regular android boxes.

How come everyone is saying 8.2.6 will decommission on 30 sep? Isn’t that just for the LGTV version? Will side loading a newer apk work? I use my AOTG on my mibox pretty regularly..

i used the word MAY... to be sure, just wait till then.

new version already out, many using.

u can read back what users have said so far... this thread and:

Okay, just tried the new version. Heavy stuttering on HD live channels, which is basically all I watch lol. Football la basically. Reinstalling old 8.2.6 and hoping that they’ll figure out a way for the new version to work. Or I’ll have to hdmi in my laptop. Pissy shit. I’m an Astro subbed btw, but I use aotg for my bedroom.

Tvbox Hdmi connect to laptop breaks HDCP 2.2, because laptop display is not HDCP 2.2 capable.

I don't know if there is a way for you to toggle HDCP 2.2 off on the TV side.

If can turn off HDCP 2.2 on the TV side ( or connect to a non-hdcp 2.2 capable TV ) that will throw light to the stutter video problem.

I meant using my laptop for aotg, and hooking that up to a tv via hdmi haha

Why not just another TV box for AstroGo ? 

Connecting from pc to TV is cumbersome and consume more electricity.

if yr tv has chromecast, u can cast from laptop, in HD.

new astrogo app works well on windows 10, no hassle, unlike old version.

Well my mibox has chrome cast. Haha. That would be good. 8.2.6 doesn’t have cast feature though, right? New app does? If so I’d like to cast from my iPad. Also, I’m on Mac... is there a Mac app?
