I figured and kinda makes sense.. Though, what does this say about the folks up in there.. I don't even work in their approval/enforcement department and even I know what the name EVPAD is synonymous with. 99.99% of anyone who buys an EVPAD device buys it for a singular reason. Which is definitely not their hardware or firmware. So I guess, legally.. The company can cash in on this (as they have) and hint that they are backed by SIRIM & MCMC..

Alternatively, perhaps the government is giving them ropes to hang themselves.. 

Haha! Exactly, no comment...

The KM3 is better than the KM9... Don't let the numbers confuse.. 
Hmm.. Hard to tell at this point as I don't personally own the device. As such will have to rely on other owners feedback... Perhaps later, I'll skim around and report back.

Did some light browsing and indeed you seem to have raised a valid point. As far as I can tell, Mecool aren't very good/reliable at releasing official software updates and the KM3 or even the older KM8 (from August 2018) has yet to receive an official OTA/Local update. So one would have to rely heavily on custom ROMs and fixes from the community. So far, I'm unsure one exists. So be prepared to live with whatever FW bugs present on it for quite awhile. This IMO would be a significant con compared to the Mibox S. At least, Xiaomi does update that and there's an official support group. So if updates are important to you? I would be worried about that.

As for issues I found.. There appears to be a black screen problem experienced on some devices. So have one with a warranty just in case. Another issue would be that the Sleep mode on the current firmware is broken. Fortunately, there's an easy workaround to fix that on the current FW. Hopefully a future FW fixes that too.

KM9 ain't google certified, KM9 Pro Classic and Deluxe are.

The first English review for MXQ Cube S10X :-



The author was not even aware that the box has a built in speaker.

Hi guys. Super noob here. Been reading the forums for literally 2 days straight here to get up to speed. But still confused.

Can someone recommend a box that suits my needs?
Not sure if I should go for the TX-6 (wallet friendly) or the Minix (seems reliable) or the Beelink GT (best hardware)?

My needs are just to watch the ahem channels. For netflix and other streaming stuff I normally use my MI Box S (malaysian set-unrooted) anyways so won't be needing it to comply with those widevine or those other standards.

Just kinda miss watching live channels. Have to think too much on what to watch when using streaming services haha.

Today I brought back an optical mouse that I have from office and tested it with TV box, default it is actually already supporting 'back' button using right mouse click.

Meaning to cancel a playback it is just a matter of right click on the mouse.

The optical mouse also has a one-off button. So I could actually switch it off to avoid battery drain.

Hi All,

I'm planning on getting a set with pre-installed applications already for streaming those shows.

My main concern now as I've not used any TV Box before is the ease of use, reliability and streaming stability. Thoughts and suggestions?

It's not a great box lar. It is Widevine L3 and costs > RM 600.

This one is around rm200, cheaper than a mibox. But very few user report here, not sure okay with AstroGo or not.

cannot play without tweaking? & how to tweak?

Hello all...new TV Box user here..

I got myself a Tanix TX5 Pro 4GB/32GB. Came with a bunch of apps but not really useful. Factory reset the thing and start fresh. Now just running Astro Go, Kodi (Elementum), Netflix, youtube, New cloudTV.

Would like to say that this thread really contains good information for newbie like me to get started on tv box. Kudos.

bro, r u sure u hang around here loooong enuf?
I lol at usd50...

the cheapest mibox s already more than that la

I think if u don't like, xiaomi...
u can go to Fire TV Cube, tomoro launching 2nd gen

or u can go-to premium route, the outdated Nvidia shield,
which I think not worth of it.

PS: non box route-> buy new TV with buildin Android TV
PS: Huawei's Himedia don't hv Widevine L1, they might hv work around... but not 4K

This item not yet much sales at Shopee. 

Thinking get Mibox S too..... 

Hi sifu need opinion, get himedia Q5 pro or Beelink gt king.tq

too many information which one to choose lar?

What are the 2019/2020 recommendations ?
Need netflix, plex, youtube, twitch, the usuals.
Don't really need Chinese TV but would be nice, if able to navigate in English.
