I'm planning of getting this Beelink GT1, where did you guys buy it?
And which plug to choose?

EU, UK? Sorry noob.

my tv not 4k unfortunately.

MiniX ables to support airplay feature from Iphone?

hi all sifus, jus wanna ask about this AV quality that the first page seems to indicate differ from one box to another? is my understanding correct?

i dun understd on this... how can it be different? r we saying if i play the same movie file in icore7 vs icore3, there will be difference in graphic quality? that kind of difference?

im not so sure too, but it could be from the diff chipset, firmware that each box used.

so far im used minix n nvidia shield. i can see nvidia shield seem like much better quality in term of movie viewing, mostly the contrast n brightness. viewing from same TV set.

The GPU do the magic here.

nope...
normally htpc u need
1. gpu that support 4k 60/100fps, hdr and 3d
2. tv that support at least hdmi 2.0 and above to enjoy 4k 60fps/3d
3. avr that hv hdmi for dolby atmos 😝 output

Buy where ever is cheapest and safest/convenient for you to shop.. Buy at own risk..

Just choose the UK plug. Easier..



Yes, as it ships with the paid (legit, not ehem) version of AirPin Pro software that allows such feature from ios devices.. Confirmed working with ipad Air 2 running latest OS and Minix Neo U1. See no reason why the Neo U9-H and iPhones won't play nice too.. You can mirror, cast, play audio, etc.. Just don't expect to play fast games on the iPad and expect the wireless experience to keep up as the screen refreshes.

Think flight classes... Private Jet > First > Business > Economy*.. I kid...

Basically, it's like TVs, not all panels are made equal. You can play the exact same HQ file on lower models vs on higher end models and surely notice a difference in pq between both. Similarly, some boxes output better pq than others. Helps the TV image..

UK plug just plug it in the socket?
That's it? Hahaha sorry

gearbest macam got warranty..

but don't know how to claim la

Yup.. That's it.. Always choose UK whenever possible. Though in some cases, they'll deliver EU plug with or without an adapter.. Either way will work. If they didn't ship with an adapter, just buy one for super cheap.. Less hassle than to return the whole thing.

noted with thanks

ok...

ok

noted with thanks. best explanation!

Hi Sifus, I got an old HIMEDIA Q5II which is still functioning. I would like to seek advice how can i upgrade it as it will be a bit waste to just leave it there since it is still functioning.

I just try and it is very easier to setup.

Plex also support everything from Video to Photo to Music with ability to get metadata from imdb, the movies database and etc.
Some more Plex is cross platform over tvOS, Android TV OS and Panasonic fireOS.

No personal sales allowed. Thanks.

is there a difference between buying from a kiosk shop at the shopping mall, eg Tesco Ampang vs buying from lazada.

i noticed the shop is selling the TX3 Mini at RM499 vs lazada for only RM16x. the salesman told me the following for the price difference - no shop rental cost, no services provided, the box might be recon box, warranty (though the one in the lazada i found provides the same 6 month warranty period), no services, etc

another thing i noticed the shop doesn't recommend kodi or terranium...he said need those app need to constantly 'maintain'. the app he pre-installed will always automatically find the source for me...

any comment sifus?

1. Read page one throughly to understand what you are getting into.
2. This isn't Asterruk or Unifi tv box where some service does all the maintenance and is at your beck and call. You either maintain yourself or pay someone else to do so.
3. Unless he wrote the app himself and constantly updates it. There's no such thing as infinite auto-find sources for you.
4. Read page one a second time and then the last 30 or so pages. Go back even more till it really sinks in.

No personal sales allowed in discussion section regardless if you are serious or not. Thanks.

Anyone here used Amazon fire tv stick or box before?
Any hoops to jump over before we can register an Amazon account and use it?
I want to recommend the stick to a friend for the sole purpose of watching Netflix in HD without getting a more expensive box. But since its been some time since I tested the original ATV, I'm not sure whether there are any issues where a VPN/ US Amazon account is required. I would rather not be in a situation to provide on-site support to my friend if I can help it :-)

I wouldn't recommend a "stick" anything for even an average media consumer.. Thing is, once your pal's tasted this world, will want more and then find out the stick is ...well.. not enough.. Better to buy something better at first and grow into it.. Then if after a long while, the fellow is no longer a noob, then can buy a more hands-on box.

For mainly Netflix + other features (should he need it) + pretty? UI + zero support? Go with the MiBox.. Should just work for simple needs..
For mainly Netflix FHD (max i believe) + much more other features + more power + minimal support? ... Get the Mecool M8S Pro L + voice remote and ideally, a solid airmouse such as the Minix A2 Lite or A3.
