1) Get a USB to RJ35 converter with USB 3 ports extension, you can direct connect using network cable from your router.
2) Get a 2.4Ghz wireless mouse with keyboard to help you navigate around.
  ++ to scroll, press OK while move the cursor down
  ++ some apps need to use keyboard to scroll
3) To extend your 8GB storage, get external USB and make it as internal storage
4) Side load/install the X-plore or ES Explorer apk (download to your USB)
5) There apps for different areas: live tv, drama, movies, sports, cartoon, player browser, ad block and not forget kodi.
6) Look into https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3115619 for those apps you want to install, another way you can also google for it.

Note: You don't need all. Choose the particular suit to your need.

7) If you are Kodi fan, look into Kodi forum  https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3943906

Side load = means download from your computer or mobile, copy to your USB and plug into your mi box, and from there install the apk

Other information:
- Mi Box will auto update itself even though you did not select it. It will reboot after finished.
- After latest update, the shutdown selection is missing. The shutdown is replace with sleep mode when you shutdown your TV.
- Set resolution to 1080 (for my case)
- You need extra storage extension, if you need to play games. I am not game fan, I don't need yet. May be when I start to get bored with movies.
- Educate them on those apps eg. movies, drama: some may be unsuitable for them. Don't spoil your children.
- You need good internet speed at least 4MB and above.
- Do not be over expectation, free apps come with ads, also some site are slow and performance is not that you expected.
- As I know some China site cannot be access without VPN,

Search the forum for more information.

Hi, may i ask the digi mibox bundle is what version? International or malaysia set? Thanks

dear sifu, i bought mitv at 11street with MI LIFE jailbreak version. At first i thought it was my internet problem to fail playing most of the movie.
i had upgraded my Unifi 30mb now. and still same most of the movie cannot play. but some of it can play. any1 know why?

Just to update, I ended up getting this ethernet adapter:

Been using it a few weeks, and I find it IS slower than wifi. Suddenly when I watch Netflix in 1080p, there is lag in the middle of playback (not when starting a new video). I had no such problems on wifi. This was happening maybe 2-3 times a day for the past few weeks.

Now switched back to wifi, Netflix playback is smooth...

I'm wondering anyone here tried the official Xiaomi USB to RJ45 converter and is it any better? Seems like such a waste to use wifi when I've wired my house with CAT6A...

guys, can u sideload these apps on ur mi box ( android TV)
- astro on the go
- iflix
- unifi tv

I have this one and it works well with the mibox. TBH, the mibox is not really a powerful gaming box.
