Ok.. is there a better box. my budget can stretch to rm300.

By the way if i connect the android box to a LAN cable then will it be better ?(Model x96 & MXQ pro+)

how about H96Pro plus ?

Firstly, learn to read first before asking questions. Cuz high chances are, the questions have already been answered. Obviously, when connected to LAN via cable, everything is better.. As wifi networks are prone to interference. Start with page one and use the search feature. It's there for a reason.

i m sorry ... but can u point me to the model that is within my budget rm300.
there are so many on the market and its really confusing..

Yes, using LAN cable would be better.

If the router and the tv box are too far away, then you can consider using wifi repeater or power line ethernet.

All these will add costs.

I managed to use my own android phone as a wifi repeater for my tv box, since I have already purchased the box.

My android phone which is only 5 feet away from the TV box is able to receive the far away wifi router with good signal, while the tv box cannot !

See page one for options, then search thru for reviews.. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of "just enough" boxes and so can't point you to a particular model. Currently using a Minix Neo U1, if you can stretch your budget, get the Minix Neo U9-H instead.

Aside from the first page of this thread, please read this too if you will be using Kodi on the box. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252916

Well, H96 pro plus is using Amlogic S912, same as that of Minix u9h. However, the main different will be the firmware support. The price different is 2 times between that 2. If you don't have high expectation on the TV box and can't stretch your budget, then H96 pro + will be good enough, 4K videos will not be an issue but there could be limitation on HD audio.

thank u for the inputs.
currently this is my final 2 targets.
1 - MXQ PRO+ S905X 2G16G Quad Core 4K ultraHD TV BOX Android 6.0 64BIT (Rm215) from Lelong.com.my
2 - H96 PRO+ TV BOX S912 Octa Core 3GB RAM 32GB ROM ANDROID 6 (Rm359) from Lelong.com.my

H96 PRO + Lazada only selling RM299

Ship from oversea sure much cheaper bro. Hehe. Just need to wait longer than our local seller. I afraid to buy from oversea in case I got a defective product. Just my 2 cent.

yea. this is the risk. no warranty also.

Check this out. U less the risk of getting a defective product but add monehhh. Hehe. http://www.mudah.my/H96+PRO+3G+32G+android...ox-49036211.htm

I saw some user's review from Lazada for budget box and some complaint it cant be power on after few days. Idk if its the user issue or its really hardware issue. Damn nightmare.

this is really scary. but its the risk u are taking buying ship from oversea.
no local warranty.

i got the box for less than RM300 from GearBest months ago. Yes, shipped from China. Comes with Android Nougat.

GB is selling the Alfawise version of H96Pro+. Should be the same with the non branded H96Pro+. Can head over to FreakTab to have a read on the reviews there. Quite a big community, and they have their own Kodi fork: FTMC. Got custom firmware as well.

Not sure about Lazada warranty. U may check with the seller. If got warranty pretty sure its time consuming since u need to post it back. The bright side is the price. Hehe.

better stick to my plan to get a basic entry level... instead of headache.
i m goin with mxq pro plus. rm215 with 6mth warranty.
even if got problem later at least i wont feel so bad...

6 month warranty sounds great. Good luck bro.

Btw, is that our local seller?

How is the performance of your Alfawise H96 Pro+? Video support HDR10? Can play Dolby Vision file? Kodi support? I'm more concern about HD audio support, can passthrough DTS-HD, DTS-HD MA and Dolby True-HD 5.1 channels or not?

Ship from oversea normally is without warranty and this will be clearly stated in Lazada as well. However, if the box is faulty when you received it, you can always return to Lazada for full refund.

yup... its a local seller...

sorry because i don't use all that. I only use for normal Kodi streaming. Bought it due to it's RAM, and storage size and speed. I use BT headphones most of the time. Good enough for me.
