Go with octacore.. Also not all octacore boxes are the same. Rather than focusing on how many cores. Focus on if the box does what you want and how well.

I believe boxes with HDMI-IN ports are able to accept incoming data for recording purposes. Basically DVR capable.

It's definitely a good box.. Yeah, able to login and browse the app.. Unfortunately, I'm unable to play premium Unifi TV channels either through the Phone or Tablet version.. I downloaded latest apks from apkpure's website..
"Playback error due to some problem with the device (111). Please try again or call 100"  cry.gif

For some stupid reason.. TV1 & TV2 plays instantly.. Rest throws the error above.. Running TM.APAD.7.8.14
Bruh... sweat.gif

Dunno.. Booted up for the first time and been like this. I tried checking for a newer firmware via OTA but it fails after trying to check..reporting "Check Failed!Check Your OTA Server Agent"..  hmm.gif

Edit: Currently running firmware version M8S PRO L-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47L-20180316.143701.V0213 and it seems stable.. Been using non-stop for couple hours now.. No force quits or sluggishness..etc.. What firmware version running on yours? Can check OTA successfully?
Not fully working on mine.. What type and version running on yours?

For the unifi tv error, i guess you are using lan cable? Try use wifi instead to see if it works.

I'm planning to use tv box to connect to internet browser such as google chrome and watch movie thru streaming website such as kissasian.net.

Can Mi Box do this? I don't mind using bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

AOTG is tricky and normally, one only had to find an older version that works.. Now, older apks won't work and will prompt you update to the latest app before using. So if the latest one doesn't work, that's.. Can't be helped. You'll have to get and external device that's capable of running it.

Yeah, thought of that too.. Used Wifi, still no luck.. I believe it's the firmware issue. Cuz in a later firmware, it works. Thing is I've been doing some research about updating it. Seems fairly easy but comes with a catch.. There appears to be at least 2 hardware versions of this M8S Pro L box (LB & LQ) and flashing the wrong firmware on the wrong hardware version can result in wifi & Bluetooth issues.. Even worse, one might lose the L1 clearance needed to run Netflix at FHD. Cuz each license is unique and tied to the hardware. Info stored somewhere that also gets wiped upon full flash. I'm tempted especially since can get working TWRP and Magisksu on it. But since it isn't my device, I won't tinker till that level.

Andrewtst Sorry for troubling you man. That sure took some real effort to gather all information and arrange them in an orderly manner. Yes my budget is quite low, because I don't want to spend much for Netflix as Astro is still my primary source for series etc atm.

megahertz I read the first post before asking here. And maybe I misunderstood somewhere because I thought that those expensive Android TVs are exclusive for gaming and maybe hard-core stuff like you do normally on your flagship smartphone. That's why i believe even with cheap android tv, you can stream 4k media without a problem.

voncrane No hard feelings bro smile.gif, what you had said is no harsh at all hahaha. I did read before asking here, but Im not really familiar with android tv ecosystem. Never had one. The information on the first page is too in depth for me to understand. Also, a quick google search regarding android tv brought a lot of results with those illegal IPTVS (with android tv recommendation by the seller). I wonder why the recommendation there is different with here. That's why to clarify, I decided to ask for expert opinion here.

Since smartphones are getting cheaper, why not android tv too? That was my mindset before being explained by you guys here.

Sorry for the trouble! Have a nice day

nope.. cheapest yet is still...

if u were already on android phone...

just download kodi or netflix apps thru your phone, and hook it up with hdmi-usb converter to your tv... or if u own smart tv...miracast to your tv...

as simple as that...


after all.. those android tv box is just your mobile phone without touchscreen...


but if u were willing to increase the budget amount at about rm250 onwards....then most of device here is available within range...

Talking about Mircast, my colleague was asking the other day if can Miracast AoTG to her Smart TV... She is using iOS, it is for her husband and they don't know how to do it. I don't have a Smart TV so cannot verify. sweat.gif

I wanna recommend her to use Android box but maybe too late now, it is for WC now...

AoTG has this strict regulation due to copyright, I heard a lot of mirroring apps don't work.

Won't work.. At least won't get smooth images. Too much hassle, easier to simply buy a compatible device and hook up. Asterruk hired the good guys to protect their rice bowl. Not like TM, with all the money they make.. Can't even make a decent app or heck get live TV working properly on a computer browser..

This is a good box to substitute Minix U1. Have you tried UniFi TV? I remember you are using UniFi, so should have UniFi TV account right?

As for Astro Go, since it can be installed and if free channels work, premium channels will work too.

My mecool m8s Pro L Astro G0 has problem, some channel like AEC, WAh Lao T... cannot load and play. Only Astrxx arena can play. How about yours and @voncrane?

I don't have MeCool, I only have U1 and it plays flawlessly.
It's voncrane who has it.
