Got selling Mi Box? I don't want others box. Just before I went to Danga. All selling Modeo. Not sure how this brand are. Can't find anything about it.

I at KSL now. Do you know which floor selling it or any others brand recommended. I need minimum 4K and HDR support and can easier side load apps.

Edit: KSL TV Box is so lousy. Even worst. Not buying any. Haha.

Will get from Lazada.

Mi Box - Short Review

user posted image
  • Design - Very simple but elegance look. Small and light, easier to carry.
  • Interface - Simple and nice but the recommendation is too empty in Malaysia Edition. Only 2 Apps showing and cannot modified to add more. Side load non Android TV apps not showing is the weak point of it as well where need third party launcher for example Side Launcher to compensate it. By the way I am very like the way it separate the Apps and Games though.
  • User Experience - Work as it should and easier navigation. The remote control is well implement and nice to use.
  • Android Apps Beneficial over my Panasonic SmartOS (FireFox OS) - YouTube can choose preferable resolution and better navigation. Finally I can have Google Play Movies, iFlix and Kodi which is missing from my TV SmartOS Apps.
  • Cons of Mi Box Netflix - HDR is not working yet but lucky the 4K Netflix is support with condition you must set the Mi Box Display Resolution to 4K 60hz. The 4K 24hz will not able to trigger the Netflix 4K content.
  • Side Load Apps - Very easier and can direct download and install by using ES File Explorer. The cons here is mostly not optimize for Android TV Android Mobile apps required mouse for navigation. Example here Astro GO which totally unusable without the mouse attached as input.
  • Extra Beneficial - Games - Yes, gaming in TV for android optimise games is additional fun to have.
  • What is not working yet - As mentioned above, the HDR is not functioning. Beside this the Deep Color is very wrong, my entire screen became over saturation if I turn this on. As for the Voice Recognition is very bad, I not sure why it is that bad recognize what I am saying where I don't have such issue in my Android phone.
  • Scores - 8 out of 10.

Nice review there Andrewtst .
Going to look around for Side Launcher too. Dont like the non function app on the main screen too.

I also need help on finding the usb to rj35 converter with 3 usb?
My search on garage, lazada or lelong is not really fruitful.
Anyone can help?

Thanks for liking. smile.gif

nice review  thumbup.gif

YouTube 4K enable? any info on playing 4K MKV file?
*
YouTube 4K is enable and you can choose your preferable resolution. smile.gif

Playback mkv should be no issue, if native not working, you can find MX Player at Android TV playstore.

Understood now. Cos I'm still in dilemma whether to choose Malaysia version (brown box) and International version (orange box) since I can see the orange box can get it around RM255 after voucher.
*
I think this depends you want warranty or not.

Well, Xiaomi have used roughly the same design for its earlier android boxes for years, Its quite a safe bet that the hardware is quite good by now. Most of the problems (which is not alot) I read from reddit for the box seems to occur at 4k resolution streaming but I think it can be rectified with a software update or two. If I were to choose right now, Ill buy whichever is the cheapest.
*
4K streaming no issue already in latest update.

For Netflix in 4K just need to make sure the device display resolution need to set as 4K 60hz not 24hz as set at 24hz then Netflix will not show you 4K content.

Why Mi Box external drive support so lousy.

I try my old Kingston 65GB OTG format as internal drive - FAIL.

I later purchase a Kingston 32GB DT50 format as internal drive - FAIL

Only my 4GB Imation drive success format as internal driver.

My SanDisk ULTRA Dual USB OTG Drive 64GB works fine as adoptable storage for my mibox. I don't have any Kingston drives to test with.

Thanks! Set orientation works. But Astro Go keeps crashing. Which version apk do you use?

Make sure you change the default keyboard. The crash will settle after change.

Quick question, I never really bothered with astro's own app before
Do you get all the live shows for the channels subscribed?
*
I think most but don't expect much. The quality and smoothness is not even half off the quality and smoothness from Netflix.
