well this is my history of these tv boxes:

G-box Midnight 2 : 1st tv box, play offline movies. lots of updates and bugs
Old laptop - Windows 8: slow ...slow... very difficult to select menus
Old laptop- upgraded to windows 10 ...slower - menus better though
Minix z64 on windows 10 : now i start streaming movies!, but it is slow, jerky and frequently runs into DNS problems which never fully resolved.
KM8 Pro : cheap, quick, responsive...unfortunately Kodi ahemm... addons dying and have to do more then necessary maintenance.

All the which with those boxes I also have my astro running as I do not seem to find good service for EPL Football.

Next box, will look at box with legal streaming service

PQ is short for Picture Quality.

Good sources? That's the trickier and easy part.. The general understanding here is if you can find the source and your device can handle it? Then good. Do NOT buy such devices expecting Ast** level support or features.. Some sources are free and others are paid.. Depending on your requirements, neither the paid or free route is the "best" option all the time, as some services come and go. Generally, paid is better cuz you just sign up with a decent provider and they handle the streams for you. Free? You'll have to go hunting yourself and maintain.

You mean illegal streaming service posing as legal streaming service...? Reliable full HD epl sources can be tough to find. Rest assured, they are available.

Which comment to pin?

Any recomendation for a brand New tv box with dual tdt(tv) latest Android if possible and can handle externa HD, i just Saw one on the first pages...

Dear TS, don't mean to brag or anything, but I believe (adjusts spectacles) the lad was referring to my post..

Good you found one..

For sure...but what info is missing, or not understood? My England can be difficulty at times...

I've already mentioned Minix has the best tv apps compatibility...and also showing for example aotg...which box works...

Glad to pin and give you credit...my ego can deflate a little no problem...

Your England is fine.. Even the British and Americans don't see eye to eye on it. No need for ego deflation, you are the TS of a worthy page one. As for the post, copy and paste or incorporate into your words also can.. Fine by me..

Delayed my purchase for Alfawise H96 Pro+ and found out that the site will sent out random OS (Note: Android 6.0 and Android 7.1 os will be sent randomly).

Is 7.1 stable yet or should I bite the bullet?

Anyone of u use the M8S box?

There's a new model, M8S Pro Plus.. "claimed" to have widevine Level 1 meaning can stream Netflix in HD.

Also, another brand Mecool, model K I Pro.. also the same claim widevine Level 1 and Netflix playable in HD.

Don't wanna rush, just waiting for user reviews online in forums n utube.. M8S Pro Plus is cheaper than Mecool K I Pro due to K I Pro has the dvb function and more hardware features eg usb slots etc.

Don't deceive yourself bruh... Netflix blocks on server side, so if they don't like a device, they don't.. If Netflix in HD is so important, use the smart TV app on a smart TV, or get a device that's 100% approved by Netflix (listed on their site)... Else, you'll be hunting down apks and having to deal with Netflix errors during playback. The guys at Netflix are really good and they care about licensing stuff now.. So, it's only a matter of time before that modified apk is blocked.

1) MXQ Pro Plus Amlogic S905 2GB RAM 16GB ROM ( http://www.lazada.com.my/lexon-digital-mxq....0.E8MfNG&ff=1)

2) Docooler M9S-PRO Amlogic S905X 2GB RAM 16GB ROM ( http://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...0.0.Qs6pvN&ff=1 )

3) X96 Amlogic S905X 2GB RAM 16GB ROM ( http://www.lazada.com.my/eu-plug-2gb-ram-1...0.0.5KhsYm&ff=1 )

just one question...why limit yourself on s905 box?

s912 box works fine anyway

my limit is for the ram,rom and below rm200 sir....so based on my noob comparison,only this 4 model within the range....

May i know which model using s912?

I suggest you go with option 2 (Docooler M9S-PRO Amlogic), there's a 3GB RAM 32GB ROM version for about RM2XX and performs decently.. Hopefully this does too.

Hi, I'm new in tv box, need some advice.

-7.1 HT
-PC host Plex

need recommendation, looking for: (order in priority)
-online contents where can fully utilize my Internet connection

My tight budget only around RM300+/-, remove my requirement above start from the bottom if not enough budget.
