Hello people, i wanted to buy tv box, maybe xiao mi box, anyone knows where to buy? except online. coz i need to urgently

Since the first post not updated anymore... which box should I get for around RM300?

I searched for S912 on Lazada but all the brands that came out are not listed on first post. How to know if the brands reliable or will update firmware or not?

what u want to do with it ?

if normal streaming from netflix etc, mi box international should be good. the price less than 300, i think around 220 like that

S912 is chipset name from amlogic. not a brand( if got, then mybe its from generic manufacturer)
if u want reliable and stable firmware , i would say u can go with Minix.

Simple.. If you in KL, I sell you my box., Pronto! itchy fingers to upgrade.

Mecool M8S Pro L 32GB ROM version with voice remote... This is my benchmark for cheaper boxes. Higher priced? It's be Minix and HiMedia.. As for more reliable and firmware updates.. Have to stick with the more famous guys. Xiaomi, Minix, HiMedia, Nvidia, Wetek, Zidoo, Apple TV, etc..

Hi ya , can recommend me a tv box that can connect to hardisk? would like to keep some drama in it.Mainly for tvb drama and movie.Budget around rm500.Is Minix ok?
Thank you !

i wan to recommend my fren Fire TV Cube over nvidia.
everything seem excellent...
except there is no playstore and astro go on amazon.

hemm... 😏

YouTube and Netflix 4k with audio pass through?

audio passthrough is based on hw (via hdmi/opt/spdif), not apps

yes, it supported. ✅
got atmos 7.1 too.

no chromecast only.

I have a fire tv stick and I love it! I use it to use Netflix, Spotify, Prime Video, iFlix and Plex (plus Kodi sometimes).
Astro's app is an Android app tho and not an Android TV app, thus it won't work well on it.

But other than that, getting the Amazon fire tv stick was my best purchase at rm130.

Almost (if not all) all Android boxes will support ext HD. Question is how well they perform and what their max storage limit is. Minix boxes are great, go for it.. Get the Minix Neo U9-H + the Minix Neo A3 Airmouse too. Both will handle your needs. Later, if you game, can decide on a gamepad..

Trust me.. Unless your friend knows that he'll never want to use regular Android apps etc.. Don't recommend such devices.. They are great if you stick to what they are designed and locked in for.. Once want to go out, then incompatibility issues will crop up..and guess who's going to be called each time to sort issues? Yeah.. You.

wanna ask ur tv stick able to play astro go?

i bought tv stick n fire tv for my fren b4.
but too bad, he didn't use astro go...
it is excellent device, tat y i wan to recommend tv cube for my other frenz.

I understand.. Just saying.. his decision.. Just remember that Amazon & Google are still at loggerheads. There is no official YouTube app. Which if you ask me is mighty important for the average user.

Yup, amazon pull the official youtube app but user still can access youtube via Amazon Silk browser, interface same as in youtube app, 4k video also supported.

That is definitely not as user friendly to as just launching the YouTube app and browsing around easily and or just using the voice remote to search for videos, subscriptions etc.. What's the point of suffering yourself needlessly when for the same price or much lesser, one gets a much better box, experience, and fewer restrictions..Unless he's into or plans to invest heavily into Amazon services ONLY! I'd say he's just buying a hassle.
