Hi everyone!

Can recommend me good remote control?
With Qwerty key.

Prefer buying via Lazada.

anyone using tanix tx6 here

Corporation waste too much $ hiring donkey like these

Which corporation?

if u need convenient of using remote to navigation and apps compatibility with remote, only Android TV is able to provide.

there r also Chromecast buildin into Android TV too..

in my case, what I most love is the voice remote...
Keke ask ur parent to try it... after 1week u will see the result

Hehe. Mouse can do wonders.
My parents? They are better off with Astro.

Get the Minix Neo U9-H..
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

You can install a third-party app and set Kodi to auto launch upon boot up. This is Android not that other walled garden..

Yes..

All Minix from couple years back will ship with their own version/fork for Kodi. Minix is a diamond backer for the Kodi devs and as such got special privileges and access. Basically, they rewrote the Kodi software to perform better on their hw-fw combo. However, you are still free to install other forks and or the official Kodi apps. These will install and run independently of each other. I for one, have SPMC, Official Kodi Leia and XBMC for Minix.

Minix Neo A3 Airmouse..

Android TV OS is better for the big screen.. Just the apps compatibility issue.. Else, that's how the TV experience should be. Hey, play your cards right and in the future, there just might be a good Android TV OS powered TV. Buy that and no need to get the Shield..

Use the head search function.. Been discussed.

Such a good daughter..

At least I get to use the Astro Go account despite I pay for their monthly subscription.
They are not technological savvy, Astro seems to be the easiest for them. Well, I guess some money cannot be saved.

agreed, but what I mean here is the oldies music...
that's is only available on YouTube... not even on Spotify
there literally no music u cannot find...

plus lyrics or karaoke... hehe

tat y voice remote search feature is very important

Despite having the most compatible, snappy, voice commands, and user-friendly remote and game controllers for Shield TV and Apple TV4, my gf will only grab the LG TV Magic remote. The intuitive mouse like pointing and wheel control makes her feel other remote controllers are complicated

just cod with a seller for a minix u9h+a3... tonight will be busy... thanks everyone..

Enjoy exploring. That's a superb box.
Minix is so clean that you can do anything to it.

anyone have use hexacore andriod box. any significant diff compare with octacore box?

so far see hexacore come with rockchip while octacore come with SD.

which one better?

mine not android box...

mine just android phone with tv as screen

me but can't help much because I only turned it on twice with combined usage time less than an hour

So very true.. Some money really can't be saved. Similarly, I've had Netflix for donkey years and my SO uses it almost everyday. In all the years she's seen me tinkering with Android boxes and HTPCs, she's never once bothered to learn their usage. So just continue to keep out Netflix account. Granted Netflix's service has been superb.

Haha.. I can relate..

Nice.. Enjoy!

While more cores wouldn't hurt (done right)..A good box ain't about how many cores.. Goes way beyond that. I've seen devices with the latest CPUs and GPUs still falter due to poor firmware and build quality.. So focus on the overall device performance instead of how many cores it has. Also, which Octacore box comes with an SD processor? Thats usually used for mobiles.. Typically it's Intel, RK or AMLogic..

Yours not Windows phone meh..?

why is that

spent couple of hours yesterday with my new minix u9...

the navigation for most 3rd party apps is very difficult.. most of the time i dunno where is the highlighted for command and some apps can't even navigate at all like Astro On The Go using the default remote. With the A3 airmouse remote it makes it a bit easier but i have to constantly using the airmouse which is quite tiring on the hand... lol... the default youtube app interface is hard to use with the remote..

the responsiveness of the system on action command still got a bit lag compare to smartphone.. i thought a typical 8 core should already be overkill for menu UI tasks nowadays...

somehow i can't get speedtest.net app to work. i installed it, launched it, saw the first 2 screen of it saying that it want to know my location to determine server to ping, then i click next but then it shows a loading animation indefinitely...

I cannot get use of the airmouse too so I bought something like this: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.lBy6 Cheap and easy to use.

Speedtest app is working on my U1 though.
