For that I’d recommend Sunvell T95M 2/16gb with Lollipop Android

MiBox international kaotim liao

If to stream directly to your 4K tv using Kodi, RSS Player, MoreTV, Terrarium etc should be suffice

Yes as pointed by others for local seller for Minix n Himedia, look up Nicety whose also based in Penang

First two boxes mentioned is suffice to your needs as it is mid range

X92

Nice to see page 1 a lot more organized

dark movie
home*** issues keeps popping
that was before any firmware update that came along later which i think it may have been resolved hopefully. the above also happens on other S905x boxes MXiii i think which i bought for a friend. That one crashes so often until she decided to get rid of it

btw there's a dedicated beelink thread buried somewhere here

Wow!! The Sg Group in FB just shared an m3u list with fantastic channel selection but not sure if it's in HD...

CAN someone kind enough go download and test???

Update : tested works well but mostly SD

So I bought another box as mentioned last week. It's the Mecool M8S Pro L 3gb/32gb S912 with Android OS that came with the optional voice remote. To those intending the same, get the voice remote, it's worth it!

I must say is a very fast box with a refreshing UI (unlike most boxes that comes with a boring static UI) Installing apps was a breeze and a lot faster compared to the last S912 box or other S905X boxes which I've bought and sold off.

There's plenty of video review available. Some apps I'd need to sideload but didn't encounter any problem

The usual Kodi, Terrarium, FreeFlix all installed smoothly. YouTube and Netflix plays in 4K.

As I just got the box this evening, will try to install other apps and try out.

So far I'm very impressed it and looks like it's gonna be the primary box replacing the Q16 Quad I've had for years.

Wife and kids love it so much especially the solid build voice remote. This box does not have passthru capabilities but it's expected when I decided to buy this.

Yes.... Netflix plays in 1080 only and YouTube in 4K for M8S Pro L....

The voice remote is especially useful if you or the family watch a lot of YouTube (skipping those usual ads without using mouse is so convenient!!)

My neighbor aunt whose more than 60 yrs old is using wireless mouse comfortably with her Z69 box

It depends pretty much on what you gonna use and how you gonna use
