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  This post has been edited by evanrue: Jan 5 2017, 07:06 PM |

QUOTE(kucuboy @ Jan 6 2017, 04:41 PM) 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? |

QUOTE(kucuboy @ Jan 7 2017, 05:35 AM) 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?http://www.gizmochina.com/2016/11/15/xiaom...gence-launched/ Aliexpress link: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32767264804.h...&aff_platform=y |

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 |

QUOTE(plateau @ Jan 28 2017, 12:06 PM) 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. |
