Yes. If got budget should go for Nvidia Shield... still the best Android box out there after 3 years...

Yep.. It's amazing that no other manufacturer has been able to come close to it, much less toppling it from it's number one spot. Shows how much work dem Nvidia engineers and devs put into it..

I used Minix Neo U1 then Nvidia Shield TV. So far no complaint on NSTV as compare to Minix. Yes NSTV so far the best no regret to own it at all.

Any news of new replacement model?
Any spring sales coming up? Getting ready to buy

Can someone recommend me good android box ≤ rm300? Prefer if got preload channels since give to dad who is technophobia. Pls give me link to Lazada I will buy from there.

Use wireless to connect to router and only got streamyx line since unifi not available.

Don't care about 2k/4k since his TV is 4~5 years old.

preload channels app need to update from time to time. If not really know about installation app on Android then better just get Astro.

Hi. I need help for my TVBox. I have a Plus TV TVBox, now off market and has changed to StarTV. Does anyone has the firmware for Startv because Plus TV is unable to use anymore or can help me fix my tvbox?

Nvidia just refreshed the line up on 2017.... So far no news on replacement yet and I doubt they will do so..

Simple reason is because all other box out there didn't have the raw power to match it...

Already got Astro just looking for alternative. Any under 300 frm lazada anyone can recommend?

AFAIK, there be no credible news of a replacement anytime soon. But I hope when it does come, I don't doubt it's be even better. If they even plan on releasing new HW in the future, it's good that they are taking their time to make sure it's all good..

For sale? Need to keep an eye on Amazon.

TLDR: No extreme spoon-feeding welcome.. Sorry.

Be a great son leave your dad with easy to use Astro... Some things aren't worth the hassle.. No joke.. However, if you still feel the need to saddle him with "problems" and prepared to be on-call day/night when issues crop up? Which they will eventually..especially on slower Streamyx network... See page one first!!...Then be sure to read the last 20 or more pages... Understand the stuff you are getting him into and why I wouldn't recommend any boxes to you.. As yet.. Heck, take the time to read and you'll figure out what to buy d..

Sorry, even for known brands.. There are hardly any proper repairmen for such boxes.. Those who can are mostly HW tinkerers who willfully dabble with such electronics. Did you try a factory reset and this didn't fix the issue? What's the issue anyways? If it's a hard brick, as in it won't power on at all? You could try another compatible power adapter to see if that's the issue.. If still no nothing? Let it go and buy another box.. No choice.. But this time, try to get from the popular brands.. Cuz then better support, warranty and build quality.

Yes, stick to Astro. I continue Astro subscription for my folks at home while I get to enjoy Astro Go account from their subscription. Even sometimes they have issues with Astro and my siblings and I have to visualize the problem to provide solution over the phone. Something not nice to do especially during working hours, can be quite frustrated. Our parents also feel bad to disturb...

Streamyx 4Mbps? Can't do much for streaming if others are also using the Internet.

Hi. Thank you for answering. It can on, however after factory reset, it keeps showing error code 01 for the internet server. So i am hoping to get update on the firmware to see if it will solve the problem.

Mind posting an image of this error and does it happen for all apps or just one/few?

I see.. I did a quick Google search, however, given its pretty generic name.. I couldn't find a direct manufacturer website and a bunch of similarly named boxes popped up in the results. So hard to track down which one's yours actually. Nevertheless, since most of these generically named boxes share the same internals, just a different name/branding for selling. Perhaps you could find another (under a different name) that lists the exact same hardware it has. If lucky, there'll be a compatible fw up in freaktab that you can flash and works. Else, it'll really hard brick for good. Which might not be a bad thing..

Hi, thank you for answering. Attached is the error, I think if I can fix the internet error then i will be able to update etc. This happens with the software itself.

Hmm.. Weird... Perhaps it's a router issue? Did you try connecting the box to a portable hotspot on your phone. See if it reports the same thing.. If it reports the same on wireless and wired..and factory reset doesn't fix it. It really could be a hardware issue. In which case, I suggest you junk it and get another.. Well, unless you have the skills to tear it down and tinker under the hood. Better boxes aren't so expensive and time's money..

android TV TV , (KD-49X7500F) OR (LC45UA6800X) , which one is better ?

Can Nvidia Shield loaded with HyppTV?

Depends on your deciding feature... See here though.. Dedicated thread for the Sharp UA6800X series. Read up on owner's experiences..

Yes.

Not sure this is right place to poat.

For those meeting this conditions:
1) android box aith arm cpu
2) running kodi 18.x
3) now failed to run quasar

The fix below worked for me., u need to extract on to kodi folder to replace existing.
