QUOTE(jdgobio @ Apr 20 2018, 05:02 PM) Guys, need some recommendations. I'm looking for an android box for my mom's house. Plan to use astro on the go & unifi app mainly. Don't need a high-end box, something simple & reliable will do. Would Mi Box (with Android TV) be a good fit or maybe an Amazon Fire TV stick? I had a Minix U1 previously (already sold) that didn't work very well with the Astro app but I didn't really use it for that purpose so never bothered much about it. Would getting another Minix U1 be a good idea? I am using Mi Box and both apps is inside. So far so good just need a mouse for navigation as both apps is not design for Android TV OS. Mi Box is pure Android TV OS box.

Also need install orientation apps and set auto run else the Astro GO will be on portrait mode. Make sure your Mi Box is original Malaysia or International edition and not China edition as I seen people comment Astro GO not working on alter root device. Root could make paid service apps not working. Also need a device can act as mouse, you can use wireless mouse, air mouse, gamepad and etc. I post before my apps in mi box https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=88306377This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Apr 22 2018, 12:51 PM

Heard of em..Not a fan of such as they limit my choice in hardware & performance output. I prefer to purchase a box I'm sure of its decent capabilities and then setup as I like. But that's just me, got the skills to do such. If you don't and or you envision it being difficult, then seek the alternatives. QUOTE(liquidsny @ Apr 22 2018, 04:21 PM) Himedia q30 not good ke guys? Didnt see anyone mentioning it Well, it's fairly new and if not mistaken the latest release from HiMedia. I believe the specs to be less than ideal.. So unless you have simple needs that can be met by the Q30, Sifu AVFAN haz offered good opinion. This post has been edited by voncrane: Apr 23 2018, 03:08 AM

I currently use controllers for the Nvidia Shield, while it works well for me, it will be difficult for my mom to get used to it. Will need to find a simpler air mouse for her.

Ray Leee, I am using logitech wireless mouse, and it is working fine. left click is a "enter"/touch action, while right click is a back action in Minix U1. the only fallback now is MX player, i could not browse to the 2nd layer of options for switching of subtitle/audio channel.
