Brown box not possible got HBO inside unless it is not original either the software itself, or you stay at US.

In Malaysia, can't even find HBO inside the Play Store.

Yeah, need to sideload those us only apps
Btw, if I wanna download those apps on playstore, need to use us google play account or something?
Doesn't seem like vpn can help with this

hi guys, anyone here watch Netflix US + VPN with this Mi Box?

I'm using with expressvpn, can also switch to other region like Japan and quite fast stream to full hd. I don't have 4k tv so that's how far it goes

They finally have a proper Android tv app for expressvpn
Makes it easier to navigate on the menus instead of using 3rd party apps to mimic mouse movement

nah, i think i would just go do chromecast ultra instead
having 2 identical looking remote controls is.... bad
TIL about the 480P part

Btw, what phone you're using to cast to chromecast netflix?
Not quite sure if you still can get hd if you're casting from phone that's not certified for hd netflix

chromecast ultra does 4k, and the content go straight through the chromecast dongle
the smartphone (or computer) is actually more a remote control there lol
(there is one in the office i work in, yea i know what i am saying)
*
That's what got me doubtful about how netflix handles hd playback on the Chromecast
Really is annoying the drm thing

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

Andrewtst Very solid & detailed review on the new update. TS should really pin this one

Also, for the prime video, do you get HD/1080p with sideloaded apk? I tried it before and it gets SD only

Do you have movies purchased with itunes us account?
Can still access it or still needs vpn?

Thanks and appreciate.

The latest prime video support up to Ultra HD (4K) just no HDR only.

https://prime-video-android-tv.en.aptoide.com

I have movies purchase from US and UK iTunes. VPN never required to play movies get from overseas iTunes.

I buy US and UK content using iTunes Gift Card because I don't have those county credit card and PayPal with Malaysia credit card is not support. Mainly I buying from Malaysia iTunes because it is far cheaper, I only look for title not available or not in 4K HDR then will consider get from US or UK.
*
Thanks for the link, will try that tonite

Are you playing the 4k hdr on your latest apple tv? Is it a bit annoying when you had to switch itunes account or can add multiple account with easy switch?

Apple doesn't allow buying movies/tv for non us/uk credit card? I did buy some apps on my us account a few years ago with my cimb card.

Anyone had this problem before?
For some reason on the home screen i cannot navigate up or down, but can go left and right

Even using android tv remote app, still the same

But when app is selected, or go to settings can navigate in all direction as normal 🤨

Hi all Mi Box users..

Wanna ask, is it worth to buy Mi Box if I only use ZTE 4G/LTE router at my home? I mean the internet used is Maxis mobile 60gb / month.

Tried to do the speedtest average speed is 7mbps DL & 5mbps UP.

Need advise from experts.. Thank you in advance, cheers!

Not sure if that’s good enough if you stream daily

Thank you for the responses..

Ya I thought so too about the quota.. once finished, have to wait for a full month cycle for the data to get refreshed wacko.gif

Maybe I can borrow/rent the box from my friend first to test for a month & see how it goes.

Anyway, thanks for feedback guys.

You might wanna look into some of those unlimited vpn service for once your quota full.
Either you’re using netflix/amazon prime or kodi with venom addons. The hd streams are gonna suck your quota a lot

Hi, newbie here and would like to seek some advice on my Mi Box that i bought sometime back.

I bought the Mi Box 4 ( the seller post it as 小米盒子4 终极越狱版) with the package to watch Astro etc in end 2018. But recently I am not able to watch any of the program any more, I suspect the server was shut down and the seller is also gone and not responding to my message.

I search around the net and found other package such as SyberTV and IPTV. Anyone using it? Is it good and I can watch movie as well as channel from Taiwan, HK & Korea? Appreciate your feedback and recommendation!!
The Mi Box that I am having is the China version, is there a way to change or install the International/Global version? What is required for me to do that?
*
No, you just gotta buy the global version mibox
Requires several DRM features which do not exist on Chinese market MiBox 4, nor is there any means of a workaround
