I bought the Mi Box (International, predecessor to Mi Box S) for a year now and I would say it still performs fine after 1 or 2 major Android TV OTA updates. |

Amazon Prime Video - Android TV not compatible with Mibox S? Cannot find in US Playstore, therefore I sideload the apk. But problem is, I can access the apk and play, but the video quality so bad! not even SD, but if I google casting from my phone, it is HD quality. So weird? 😅

Hello guys, im planning on buying the mi box s and i have a few questions to consider buying it.
1) does it have a built in local tv station streaming service or do i need to download separate app to get that? 2) If it have built in is it any good or do I still need a separate app? Also what app do you recommend to stream tv? Does the tonton app works on this box(I don't have astro, so i don't need astrogo)? There is also this one app i found on play store called malaysia online tv by tmedia Ltd. Does that app work? 3) how much internet speed do i need to stream 720p and 1080p content? 4) general pros and cons of this device 5) do you recommend it? Or do you have other recommendations with roughly the same price tag as this device 6) does it need to be rooted? What do you gain from rooting this device? 7) i heard it have expandable storage through usb, can you install app inside the usb or ur stuck with 8gb storage? 8) what are the must have app for this device? |

Also what app do you recommend to stream tv? Does the tonton app works on this box(I don't have astro, so i don't need astrogo)? There is also this one app i found on play store called malaysia online tv by tmedia Ltd. Does that app work? it have free trial netflix for 1 month, got redbull tv, youtube tv, if you got iflix account also can install into the box, dimsum@thestar account also can be install into it. bbc player also can be install to watch UK shows. local tv station also got RTM app for extra channels and radio station too. 3) how much internet speed do i need to stream 720p and 1080p content? better if unifi 100mbps, best at 720p, 1080p abit struggling but still watchable. 4) general pros and cons of this device. you need an external usb box if you got more gadget to connect or connect to a LAN. storage abit limited, only install important apps. 5) do you recommend it? Or do you have other recommendations with roughly the same price tag as this device. recommended cause got OS updates 6) does it need to be rooted? What do you gain from rooting this device? no 7) i heard it have expandable storage through usb, can you install app inside the usb or ur stuck with 8gb storage? can be expanded 8) what are the must have app for this device? your file manager to sideload apps, orientation app[landscape setting cause got some apps must use potrait mode], platytv, youtubetv, iflix, dimsum,lazada app for shopping,chrome browser,etc...  |

Are streamyx bad for tv box? I can always get something from maxis or digi broadband but I really want to use streamyx since its cheaper. Also like i said no unifi so i don't think i can use unifi tv |

*Update
Might be able to get unifi lite at least, so that solves the internet problem. Now i want to know what are the difference between the global and Malaysia version, or there is no Malaysia version In shoppe i found 2 xioami shop one for Malaysia another is global, so i assume the one sold by the Malaysia xiaomi shop is Malaysia version and it is quite expensive compared to the global version, just wondering whether it works differently.

 If you are buying this product please invest on the following as well it will help; 1. USB Flash Drive (32GB or more) and for me Sandisk works just fine and it's going to be 2 years now. No issues until now. 2. UGREEN Ethernet Adapter USB Gigabit Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps/1 Gbps with USB 3.0 Hub 3 Ports (you can plug your USB Flash Drive and MI Box S can detect the flash drive) |
