Hello all, newbie here.

I am looking to buy one Mi Box 6th Gen, mainly for IPTV for Asteruk channels.

I have seen some sellers provide Google Play Store but some do not. May I know what's the importance of Google Play Store in Mibox? What extras can it perform with Playstore?

Do I need Google Playstore to use apps like Kodi to watch HK dramas? In short, which apps/function requires Google Play Store?

What should I use to watch HK dramas?
What will I be missing on if I don't install Google Play Store? Any apps that is very useful for TV?

I am still not sure about Google Play Store but have decided not to bother with because I think HDTV and Kodi should be enough.

That link sells Mibox that is 5th Gen so I think it's better that you get the latest one, 6th, the white one.

I bought from Dfaro.

I just bought Mibox 3 Enhanced Edition last week, but I will try to help.

1) Yes, you can use Kodi to install addons such as Exodus and Icdrama to watch English, Korean, Chinese movies. However, I have seen some previous users complaint about the lack of storage of Mibox, causing Kodi some problems. I am not sure of what problems.

2) You can find sellers who provide subscription services, such as HDTV.

3) I have only used the box for 1 week but I think it should not overheat easily.

4) As long as you can read chinese, that shouldn't be a problem.

5) Mibox 3 Enhanced Edition connects to Wifi, in fact, it doesn't have ethernet port so you need to purchase an USB to Enternet adapter (should cost about RM35) if you want to use LAN cable.

Any experienced users kindly addon/correct if anything I said is wrong

I am surprised when I found out the power plug is China one which is not compatible with Malaysia power socket.

Make sure you have an adapter ready.
Lack of ethernet port.
Insufficient storage. (Not sure what problem will it cause though)

Hello all!

Just wanna know how many of you are using HDTV subscription? Kindly leave a reply if you subscribe to HDTV.

Does it show advertisement? If that's the case, go to Mibox setting to turn off screensaver.

Hi guys, my HDTV subscription ending.


Any recommended seller to renew package? And is HDTV still the best paid-subscription service?
