Can give link?

I had bought on 11/11 from this seller = https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Official-In...2763245427.html

But it seems there is a new seller offering a lower price = https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shippi...2699739438.html

i plan to buy this but does it preload with free channel for nalaysia and singapore or what software we need preload in it? please advice

The international Android TV 6.0 unit I bought did not come with any 'free' MY/SG channels. The box runs original Google OS without jailbreak. My 2 biggest use cases are Netflix and YouTube.

dolby digital pass thru. cannot adjust volume!!!

Bro any changes to watch Taiwan TV live via mi box?

Hi, i'm a newbie looking to buy an android tv box. currently eyeing this one: http://www.lazada.com.my/original-xiaomi-m...k-18327054.html

i have a few questions about this MiBox:
1. does it has English interface, Android 6?
2. is it suitable for Netflix AND iFlix (i have accounts for both)? Any issues?
3. is it suitable for a person like me who DO NOT want ANY of those 'preloaded' channels (typically those China, Taiwan, HK ones).. just the vanilla MiBox experience with access to Google Play?

hope somebody can help with my questions. Thank you

Hello to all the sifu here,

May I know if anyone is using their mibox 6th gen (white color) with time broadband ?
Is there any special setting required for the set up ?

The reason i am asking this is because the mibox doesn't load (weather not updating, internet seems to be very slow or not moving at all) when my mibox is connecting to time broadband.

However, when its connected via my phone hotspot (e.g., digi), it seems to be loading perfectly.

Hence, i am not sure if there is any special setting required for the setup in time broadband.

Did anyone here face the same issue as mine?

Thanks in advance.

this is a snapshot of my mibox setting.

The box you linked is not a box you want based on your requirements. They keyword you need to lookout for whether it has Android 6.0 or Android TV. Anything less its not the 'International Version'. The version you are looking for must be preinstalled with Google's Android TV interface. And yes this version is with English interface. You can try viewing those boxes which ship from China at www.aliexpress.com. Cheapest ones go for about USD69.99 with free shipping. You probably have to wait between 3-4weeks to deliver to you. If you order 1, shouldn't worry about Malaysian Customs tax. I have ordered 3 from them and all arrive in good condition.

Thanks for the reply bro the one in the link apparently comes with Android 6.0, English interface. will browse thru aliexpress too.. btw, do you happen to have links to the ones you bought?

Newbie here.. just got myself a xiao mi box 3s (5th gen). Got this coz i need 4k plus HDR.

Running on android 6 and MIUI.

Question:

1. Can I root it and convert it to international firmware while retaining the HDR feature?
2. Any sifu can help me on rooting/flashing the firmware?

Nope it's not android TV OS. Just says Android 6.0. Xiaomi released a box similar like the international version around Nov but runs Chinese interface without Google apps.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.. very confused with how the sellrs advertised their products.. thanks again ya.. going to get the one over at aliexpress.. i suppose it can run iFlix too?

any user of mi box 3s (android 6, 2016 version) ? Need guide to side load Gapps

To existing users, can you install Iflix app on the mi box international version? I plan to buy this box from aliexpress. Thanks.

Could not find iflix on the play store. Meaning there is no Android TV version of the iflix app.

I tried sideloading the apk before but the UI did not work well with the Mi Remote. Basically I still cast to the Mibox from my phone.

Yes Iflix works on the international mi box.
Download an app called 'HAL Launcher' for apps that don't show up in main screen of Android TV (leanback launcher). Android TV playstore has it. I use that to access Chrome browser, Iflix, Astro On The Go, Getflix (smart dns), and Mobdro. I download the apk from apkpure.com. If the apps show weirdly on its side, go into HAL launcher settings and force it to show horizontal.

Thanks. How do you navigate the iflix app ui? Keyboard and mouse?

The remote from Mi Box works fine. I checked last night and it appears on my Android TV interface front page. Try searching in the Android TV playstore for 'flix' without the 'I' in front. No idea why it cannot search simply by typing 'Iflix'
