Is the hypp tv everywhere apps works well with minix u1 or u9?

Hi!
I'm planning to purchase an android box. Would appreciate if someone can recommend me some reliable brands. My budget is RM150-200.

Thank you in advance.

Check warranty info as well.

Not everything in lazada as warranty, especially those shipped from overseas.

I have been looking buy a microsd card. When I look at the spec on lazada, damn attractive. But when look at warranty, those are shipped from overseas and without warranty. Some with terrible user feedback experience.

Yes it works with U9.

For Android boxes, perhaps none but I can vouch for Roku & Amazon Fire TV. Roku especially is amazingly user friendly and simple to use. The initial setting-up of a Roku account is a pain though due to geo-fencing. But once setup, it works like a charm. Both oldies and kids can use it easily. I still miss my Roku 3.
Amazon Fire TV is slightly less user friendly since they push their Amazon Video content and search is not universal but I think they fixed it newer versions (I only have experience with the first version so can't comment on the new versions).

Flexibility and user friendliness are oppositing requirement. Android tv boxes is very flexible and most phone applications are easily loaded on to it. But these apps are not written with TV remote navigation in mind.

I side-loaded the 'Youtube for Android TV' on my box. The speech input command part is incompatible with the typical android tv box, but other than that, the navigation is very friendly, comparing it to the phone-version of Youtube app.

Unfortunately, there are no perfect tv boxes, so we have to choose (compromise) what we need most or use multiple boxes for different purposes. Roku boxes are not flexible nor powerful but they are damn user friendly for streaming.
Will be getting the Nvidia Shield TV soon, hope that it gets me closer to the "perfect" box

Ah... Big leagues eh... .. Get the latest version 2.

Anyone knows how to disable Ads or pop up in android box? Suddenly appearing every 3 minutes

By any chance you sideload some new apk recently ? Some of the apk are actually ad virus.

Other than that, if you box is rooted, you can use Adaway to get ride of some of the Ads.

It's just some malware. Check recently installed or updated apps for the culprit and uninstall.. No app is worth such ads popping up. There are safer less obtrusive alternatives.

not big leagues lah. Just getting a used 2015 version for a good price.

found the cheapest minix neo u9-h
https://www.lazada.com.my/minix-neo-u9-h-tv....1d50ac97rnqboo

Ships from overseas and no warranty.

anyone with khadas vim experience? the one with s905x chipset? i would like to purchase one in lowyat. anybody know a good shop that sells this?

For this price, you can get Himedia Q5Pro which have better quality and support.

Is there anything better than Himedia ?

Can someone confirm if Minix u9H support all the Dolby TrueHD 5.1, TrueHD 7.1, Dolby Atmos 7.1, DTS HD Master, DTS-HD, and DTS:X audio format? I know Himedia Q10 pro supporting these. There is no point buying a media player if it doesn't support all the HD audio format. If it doesn't, might as well connect directly to TV USB port and play from there.

Is there any other different between Himedia Q5 Pro and Q10 Pro other than the design and the amount of internal ROM storage? Any features and performance different? The 8GB storage seems really small.

You just saw it.. The Minix Neo U9-H is better.. Also Minix has much better build quality and after sales support than HiMedia.. There's an official Minix forum and firmware updates are released fairly frequently for the device. Since it's launch, it's on FW006 now. There's a bugtracker on firmware releases and feature requests are accepted. Those that can be done, are done and implemented in the next release. if the community doesn't like a new design/effect, it's rolled back or options provided, etc.. As for anything else better? There's also the Nvidia Shield TV box.

Yes, the Neo U9-H is fully licensed and supports all those audio formats and best of all via Kodi Krypton pass-through as well.. Not all TVs are smart or support these audio formats especially DTS:X. Even if the TV is equipped to support them and runs Android TV OS, an external Android OS box is more capable and compatible with the popular Android media apps out there. So there's still a point to getting an external media player. Unless all you do is play pre-downloaded files and satisfied with your TV's playback capabilities..
