Better leave it as is, don't go cari susah  rclxub.gif If short of space, add a SD card or USB thumb drive. Don't break your box just to reclaim back 1GB occupied by the Xiaomi apps.......

lol~thanks!

Guys, just bought Mi Tv Box Pro edition (2Gb ram and 8 Gb Storage) white color, then the seller gave trial access to HAOHD, however the quality merely average, like watching less than SD resolutions...

Any other recommended TV streaming subscription for MY?

What I know is this two only.
-MYIPTV
-HDTV

Or else I have to sell the box, as I intend to replace hyppTV from TM for news watching...

Note: using 30mpbs Unifi package.. the HAOHD/miBox using only 5 mbps or less bandwith in average.

yeah those channels are mostly SD, but ok lah boleh tahan. if you want to stream HD can use kodi. as mentioned above. i havent really checked out all the news channels but al jazeera is nice and clear.

Agree, Al Jazeera is hd smile.gif I've tried that too biggrin.gif

Hi

I am considering to buy the new white mibox
Is it worth the money for me to change it to english and install google apps?
Is the included remote the airmouse type ?
Also is it fast to stream movies and musics from home nas?
Can use with those iptv?
Is there any problems that I should know ?

Thanks

If you can read chinese then dont need to change the language smile.gif main question is what do you want to get out of the mibox?

I have a mibox 3rd gen (black one), need some help:-
1. How to install youtube?
2. I install kodi from shafa market, and the kodi content like very limited, how to watch live channle / hk drama by using kodi?

Thanks in advance.

head on to kodi thread to learn about the addons. Dramago and KissAsian in particular wink.gif To install youtube, you need to root your mibox. If I'm not mistaken, you can install that in Kodi too. Much easier than rooting and installing some google stuff.

Hi guys, sorry to ask this. I'm a bit confuse of the MiBox variance in the market as sellers used different name to sell it..

MiBox 3
MiBox 3S
MiBox 3S Pro
MiBox Pro
MiBox 4K

and with 2nd, 3rd , 4th , 5th generation which makes it more confusing..

Anyone care to enlighten me? Like sorting from old to new so at least i know which is the latest one..

Thanks.

I think those are the seller self proclaim..haha..some of them will do all the setup for you, hence pro..prolly..maybe..best you ask from the seller.

AFAIK, the latest gen normal version is black and the pro version is white that comes with 8gb internal storage vs 1 gb, 2 usb slots vs 1.

Bought the Mi Box 3 Enhanced version cos some forummers here say its good....but is it really?

Comes out of the box in Chinese and installing Shafa still its pretty much 70%-80% Chinese.

Spent one whole evening trying to root the device, without a keyboard for input it was a pain and slowed down my progress.

Spent another day trying to set up Play Store, Youtube and Kodi....

Now my Kodi is setup and Kodi is great, but the GITV is still in Chinese and I have no idea how to use it. The GITV really sucks and I hate it.

Seems like I should have bought the Minix U1 instead. Would have saved me quite a lot of hassle and seems like the interface is better.
As this is my first week using it I want to give it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I missed out some cool feature of the Mi Box. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

What is so good about the Mi Box? Can someone explain why it is so popular?
*
Hmmm..Mi Box is just an android box. So yeah, for your Play Store and YouTube, you need to root your device. Alternatively if you want to install any apps that you want, you can download the apk file using your pc and transfer the file over to install. Remember, this is a Chinese android box, not a google android hence rooting is require to get YouTube. You don't really need Playstore though blush.gif I face the same thing like you when I first got my Mi Box, only to realize that this is android..lel..not like our phone, its different. rclxm9.gif The only thing that I can't run now is still YouTube, I use my phone to cast instead, for now, too lazy to find another solution.

What is GITV though? You bought the pro version? If you don't want then sell to me at cheaper price biggrin.gif

Hi guys, Ace meimei here.
Just wanna check with you all, I just got myself a Mi Box 3 PRo as a gift from friend, got it from China.

But the thing is, I'm not sure whether it will work here or do I need to crack it?
If yes, where can I find the solution?

Depends on what you wanna do. You wont be able to use the native apps to watch movies. That leads you to installing apps like kodi to watch or any other smile.gif just need to download the apk file and install it in your mibox smile.gif

Any TVB drama fans here? I find watching their dramas quite frustrating, it's always not buffering or not stable.  Sometimes you're able to watch it today, the next day it's not.
Any stable app that you guys used to watch?

You can try hot dra*a apk

Hi Guys, I am new to here... Just planning to buy Mi Box 3 recently, may I know is it OK to bring in the Mi Box 3 from Taobao?
I know the power plug will be different, but it is fine to use it with universal adapter right?
Besides, I just need to enable the 3rd party apps installation and then I can go with those international channel?
Any other setting I need to do like DNS or whatever?

Thanks

Dont need to change the DNS settings. It will work fine but you wont be able to use its native apps only but that's fine smile.gif
