I'm also using 8.2.1 on my Minix U1 but no such issue as described above. Try to reinstall again?

I did reinstall :-(. I actually thought someone at A has found a way to discourage Minix owners from watching anything on AOTG. Will try again though to reinstall. Thanks for your response.

could be something wrong with ur internet.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. While looking for more information on android box, I found out that they have pure android OS and the newer android TV OS. The latter's Google Play store does not has much apps, but they can sideload the apk - seems like more job there to get installation done. I read that MeCool M8S Pro L is quite a popular choice with the people in the forum, but it is an android TV OS. May I know, which one gives a better user experience - pure android OS box or android TV OS box ?

Thanks

Side load app is easy and is done once in awhile

Android TV os is the in thing due to its UI

I like to watch national geography and discovery channel and some BBC channel (not news channel) some of the seller told me their box come with these channel for free watching. Is it this is true ?

If it is not true, how can I watch these channel beside by astro?

Miss, do u have minix u9h? My u9h adapter just died too..would like to know if it's compatible with u1 adapter.

May be unifitv Ultimate pack.

No, I don't have U9h, I supposed it's the same?

I wouldn't say it's the popular choice.. However, after a couple days with it AND knowing my tech abilities.. if I had to buy a sub RM300 box today? I would grab the Mecool M8S Pro L with voice remote. With higher budget? Definitely either the Nvidia Shield 500GB or Minix Neo U9-H.. The Mecool is a nice mix between Android TV OS and regular Android OS. Installing apps from the store or side-loading is a piece of cake.. Launch File manager, find apk and hit install button. Easy.. I did a hands-on mini-review and other owners chipped in.. So do a search for my post and read from there.. You can also search back for older comments about the box too..

Read the page one and last 20 or so pages.. Answer repeated over and over again.

great to hear that. at least forumer got a more economical choice now with mecool. not everyone willing to fork out rm500 to get minix (if they never experience b4)

Yeah.. I'm not going to front. In terms of apps launching and exit (particularly Kodi), I actually think it's a faster box than my Minix Neo U1. Can't speak for its reliability yet as it's only been a few weeks and it's owner won't use it as hard as I use my Neo U1. Guym has had it longer, so far so good. Thing is, for those who plan to flash this and that on it? Better to deal COD in order to confirm which hardware version it is.. As there's at least 3 different versions of the same box and I believe only one boasts easier & more customisable fw flashing options. I ordered randomly from China and the box I got was the more hassle one.

gosh…damn hate this kind of same model but with different revision of hardware thing…

Same here.. What to do.. On the plus side, each revision (like networking routers) tends to fix a major issue that plagued the previous one. Such as Bluetooth and wireless issues on one. So I guess it's okay la.. It's a cheap mass produced box and they don't have as much time and cash to play around with on longer R&D efforts like their bigger rivals. I be keeping my eye on this Mecool guys..

yea…especially TPLINK router and wireless adapter…damn it… haha

i try to install playtv@unifi on my box, but only some channel like tv1 and 2 can play. The rest cannot. How to overcome this? my box is tx3 mini.

Yeah.. Haha. TM still giving V1 hardware, but there's already a V2 and V3 refresh..

This is common for certain devices and or firmware.. Basically, it's the app's fault. But TM will say it's your device as it's made for legit phones and tablets.. Not tv boxes. So no choice..

Thanks for the info.

You are welcome. Do know that you'll require an airmouse of sorts for max ease of use. I used it with the Minix Neo A2 Lite airmouse and works well.

means it was rooted from factory...

need to unroot or use magisk step to hide the rood
