Hey guys, my TV at home is not a SmartTV.
If I just wanted a TV box to watch Netflix in 1080p, stable and good response on the remote, what would be the best recommendation? Alternatively, if I wanted to stop my Astro, I would need live sports, news and cartoons channels. Any box providing these? Sorry really new to TV boxes and there are so many options out there This post has been edited by Iylia: Apr 11 2019, 09:46 PM |

QUOTE(cannavaro @ Apr 10 2019, 04:26 PM) Wanna check with you guys I have this S905x box named 'Modeo' (2GB RAM/16GB ROM) that I put at my family's house The stock remote is shitty like hell compared to my nvidia shield Have to aim properly and press hard on the remote After flashing to atvXperience, it was slightly better but still crap There is also a zidoo h6 pro at the family house, the remote is much better than the modeo but of course not as good as the shield So I'm thinking of getting one of those airmouse for this modeo box Heard people saying that the remote from minix is good (RM90 or so) You reckon the improvement (responsiveness and all) will be drastic? though I was told some functions on the minix remote won't work on other android boxes QUOTE(puchongite @ Apr 10 2019, 04:37 PM) If you found any good airmouse, let us know. I'm shopping for remote control for my Shield TV too.The air mouse are typically like shits :- 1) They drink battery like drinking water. 2) Constantly have to toggle between remote/IR mode vs usb-dongle (airmouse) mode. And then make to toggle between mouse mode vs non-mouse mode. I doubt people understand all those things. Yes, IR remote has to transmit IR vendor ID over which matches the box to be controlled. Without "learning", it is tight to a particular box. I am not sure if the minix remote can learn new IR code or not. I much have the following features: 1) Gyroscope Air mouse 2) Bluetooth ( to free up USB port ) 3) Voice control. 4) keyboard is not a must but bonus if comes with it. From my research thus far, I've found Q5 remote control meet the first three conditions. |

However, flash wrongly or the wrong stuff and you risk bricking your device. Time to hang around Freaktab.QUOTE(Iylia @ Apr 11 2019, 09:26 PM) Hey guys, my TV at home is not a SmartTV.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Apr 11 2019, 01:46 AM) Let me guess, it's an IR only operated remote? If so, of course, the remote experience will be "shitty", especially if the box doesn't have a well placed receiver and or isn't placed in a clear line of sight for each keypress. AHHH no wonder overlooked this part and the other 2 boxes I mentioned use bluetooth this modeo box doesn't even have bluetooth function I'm gonna try this one, seems popular on lazada with good ratings and cheap enough to ditch if it's not good enough https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4414463/all thanks for the insight QUOTE(Iylia @ Apr 11 2019, 09:26 PM) Hey guys, my TV at home is not a SmartTV.

Alternatively, if I wanted to stop my Astro, I would need live sports, news and cartoons channels. Any box providing these? Sorry really new to TV boxes and there are so many options out there Mosy of them are like Roku, Amazon FireTV etc. The only cheap box i can think of which can play Netflix UHD and HD is Mi Box S. The other China brands mostly play SD and a few maybe can do 720p only. So your choice are really limited. So no need to think hard. Unless you want to spend Rm1k for an Nvidia Shield (in which case, its better build a HTPC for that price..). |

QUOTE(Iylia @ Apr 13 2019, 08:24 PM) You are welcome.. Just make sure to be aware of its limitations before ordering. The primary reason I recommended it was cuz your primary requirement is Netflix. Else, I personally.. Won't touch that box. Just my 2 sen. So if you are good with it.. Excellent, enjoy your box.. QUOTE(JtxCool @ Apr 13 2019, 08:47 PM) Need advice here as am new to tv box. Kindly see thread title and read the last 20 or so pages.. Return when wiser.. Thanks. Why? Cuz 2 of your 3 options are already asking for trouble. The MXQ Pro may or may not be a good deal,.

You could try manually installing the latest YouTube apk on it. Download from sites like apkmirror.also, i tried to sign in to update youtube using google account but it says failed connection to server always.. any input? |

QUOTE(yankiat @ Apr 15 2019, 10:01 AM) Yup.. Or download directly on the evpad itself.. Using a web browser. Either way will work. So whichever is more comfortable for you. You might have to download different versions, if the latest doesn't work well. |

That mecool can get around RM130 if promo and can run unofficial real androidtv firmware from freaktab, don't think got any cheaper than that.Tried anyway in current economy. Also already have old mibox 3, this one planing for extra tv only. |
