Feedback: got my mi box today with the c120 air mouse and they work great together, although navigating iflix takes some effort..

Thank you all for answering my queries

Which mibox version you get?

I bought this one :
[INTERNATION VERSION] Xiaomi MI BOX Android 6.0 Smart Set-top TV Box Quad Core Youtube Netflix 4K DTS Dolby IPTV Media Player: http://s.aliexpress.com/Y3MjIzmi

Took almost 3 weeks to reach me. But the packaging is good and undamaged.

Nice. How's the set up and performance so far? straight plug and play?

Very easy to setup. I've logged in to Google and then updated the OS. Then head to Play Store to install iFlix and Spotify.. The provided remote is decent enough but I prefer the air mouse. It has a keyboard at the back for easy search typing.

Netflix runs great, but the iFlix interface is a bit hard to navigate through when it comes to selecting individual episode of a TV series.. Kinda hard to get the cursor to the episode titles.. My wife ended up using her phone and cast iFlix to the mi box. I guess iFlix have yet to optimize the app for Android TV OS.

With the mibox 3 international version vs mi box 3 pro. Which one would you choose and why?

For those who wonder how different the packaging for the Mi Box with Android TV 6.0 is between the one released in the USA and from China. They both have the same model number mdz-16-ab. Functionality is the same, If the US version gets updated, so does the international version. And no, your regular mi box China interface cannot be converted to run Android TV. The international version also has playstore by default. If unsure, always check if the seller states that it runs ANDROID TV. There's a difference between android TV the operating system and Android box which most lesser known  companies are offering.

For the photos below, the orange box is the unit sold in the US while the unit I received from China via AliExpress is in the plain brown box. Cheers

In short, there is no software and functionality difference between the US (Orange Box) vs the International (Brown Box) versions, correct?

PS - BTW, where to purchase the US (Orange Box) version?

hi i am new at these android box.i want to buy Xiaomi Mi Box 4K with HDR 2016 international model.i have a special ip tv. can i watch it on mi box.i mean can i install ip tv applications from play store like ip tv player.

Software is the biggest difference with the Chinese version and the international version. Can almost say night and day difference. If you want the closest android feeling on a Xiaomi device, International version is the way to go.
It may not appear on the front page of Android TV launcher but (because it might not be in the Android TV playstore) but you can install an app called HALauncher and access it from within there.

i found out that my mi box is getting intermittent connection. It looks like it is due to the wifi being not stable. Can I know everyone else are you having similar issue? I am thinking of getting wifi ac or get a LAN connection.
