You can't

Playing Netflix on the Chinese version of Mi Box will never get resolutions higher than 480p
There are no way around this except to get the Mi Box 3 International version with Google TV firmware

Tested on both Mi Box Enhanced (Chinese) & Mi Box 3 International Version
The only weakness with the Mi Box 3 International Version is that it only has 1 USB port

Simple question:
Does Mecool KM2 go deep sleep when you press the power button?
Or just standby mode exactly like Mi Box / Mi Box S

The problem with Mi Box / Mi Box S is that if you connect a webcam or an external HDD to it, these accessories don't go off when you put the Mi Box / Mi Box S in standby mode

Can you help to test this on the Mecool KM2?

My HDD & webcam on my Hisense TV with its built-in Android TV goes off when the TV goes to sleep
Not on my Mi Box S, the standby light on the webcam is still on and the HDD is still warm even after 2 hours

Same thing for my Hisense TV with built-in Android
All connected devices completely turns off when I put the TV to sleep

Only with Mi Box / Mi Box S the connected devices doesn't turn off. I'm hoping Mecool KM2 doesn't have this issue
I don't want my HDD to run all the time, that'll kill the drive faster

If it's connected to the Mi Box/Mi Box S, yes, it doesn't go to sleep at all
If it's connected to any TV with built-in Android, the HDD goes to sleep normally (tested with Hisense & Sharp TV)

And I'm not isolated on this matter. There are several threads reporting the same issue on Reddit with zero solution other than buying a USB hub with a power switch to every port (which is rather annoying if I have to flick the switch everytime I turn off my TV)

Damn

Meh, too much hassle. Much easier if I just buy a new TV with built-in Android

Cancelled
