My Minix U9H suddenly power off while I was watching Netflix and cannot power on since then. I tried with other socket outlets but still the same, no power. Anyone can advice what could be the problem ? Is it the power adapter or the box itself ?

4. I understand that this Minix box is installed with Android version 6.xx, and that is not the latest Android firmware. Can I update it to the latest Android? If yes, should I update it? Will the installed app in the box be lost if I update it?

Thanks a lot!

My Tv box uses Wifi at my house. Sometimes there is lag during the TV shows. Is it due to wifi? If I connect a cable directly between the TV box and Modem... will it help minimise the lag?

Anyone here using A3 Airmouse together with a Minix box? Does yours drain the batt fast? My 2 pieces of AAA battery would get drained within 1 week. Is this normal?

Nvidia Shield is having sales in Amazon. Tempting.

Many tks Voncrane,
As a newbie,,it took sometime ( reread ) to comprehend all the "jargons" indeed.

HiMidea Q10Pro,Minix U9 seems to be in my horizon. (Apple TV looks sturdy, however high price)
Question, as an example, in comparison for an Astro IPTV user ,paying MYR146/- per mth. ( only watching live badminton, sometimes tennis, CNN,BBC news
and using TV box paying as I view for say, SportsChannel for Live Badminton, or others that are free.,

Would it not be and ideal and more economy to use a TV Box?

Tks again.

Look like I have to invest into a Android 4K TV.

What is a good Android 4K TV (able to view Netflix) available in market?

spent couple of hours yesterday with my new minix u9...

the navigation for most 3rd party apps is very difficult.. most of the time i dunno where is the highlighted for command and some apps can't even navigate at all like Astro On The Go using the default remote. With the A3 airmouse remote it makes it a bit easier but i have to constantly using the airmouse which is quite tiring on the hand... lol... the default youtube app interface is hard to use with the remote..

the responsiveness of the system on action command still got a bit lag compare to smartphone.. i thought a typical 8 core should already be overkill for menu UI tasks nowadays...

somehow i can't get speedtest.net app to work. i installed it, launched it, saw the first 2 screen of it saying that it want to know my location to determine server to ping, then i click next but then it shows a loading animation indefinitely...

Will check.. i asked the seller to update firmware and the kodi. My kodi now is v18.

Btw i think i heard b4 here saying that the default kodi from minix is optimized for minix. Should i be using that or use the latest official kodi?

Able to do Netflix 4k with that ROM?

I've been using U9-h for quite sometime now and I'm really fed up with everything. No new firmware; seems product support stopped, no Netflix UHD, the "fake wifi" option is buggy, etc.

Now contemplating on getting Shield, but it's almost 2 years since the refreshed version released. Anyone know if I should proceed with current Shield, or wait for maybe a new refreshed version coming this year?

mibox S is laggy ? 

i bought 2 units...so far no such issue

been using it for netflix 4k hdr and kodi with latest firmware

That's what I thought too. Next year I will move into my own place and plan to buy a 4K TV to enjoy 4K contents. I'm a lazy bum, so won't be doing any downloads. Gotta straight stream 4K shows via Netflix and YouTube, I'm also interested in MiBox as it's Netflix certified and pretty affordable. Since it's not rooted, I will assume it can run Astro Go and UniFi TV app.

Now comes the dilemma, my Minix u1 works perfectly but like you said except it's not Netflix certified. I'm wondering if I should buy a smart TV to run 4K Netflix and YouTube while maintaining the Minix for other purposes. Or just buy a normal 4K TV and Mibox but gotta abandon my Minix. Sigh.

I would disagree.. If one's smart tv already does YouTube and Netflix in 4K + HDR, there really is no more actual benefits getting the MiBox as opposed to much better specced and performing devices.
