KM9 ain't google certified, KM9 Pro Classic and Deluxe are.

The KM3 is better than the KM9... Don't let the numbers confuse..

Hmm.. Hard to tell at this point as I don't personally own the device. As such will have to rely on other owners feedback... Perhaps later, I'll skim around and report back.

Thanks a lot! Btw, I did some searches on the specs of KM3 and KM9 Pro, in the OTA section (shown in the screenshot), it indicates "not Support Firmware(Bugs) Upgrade". Should I be worried about this? Is this the only tvbox that does not support firmware upgrade?

Did some light browsing and indeed you seem to have raised a valid point. As far as I can tell, Mecool aren't very good/reliable at releasing official software updates and the KM3 or even the older KM8 (from August 2018) has yet to receive an official OTA/Local update. So one would have to rely heavily on custom ROMs and fixes from the community. So far, I'm unsure one exists. So be prepared to live with whatever FW bugs present on it for quite awhile. This IMO would be a significant con compared to the Mibox S. At least, Xiaomi does update that and there's an official support group. So if updates are important to you? I would be worried about that.

As for issues I found.. There appears to be a black screen problem experienced on some devices. So have one with a warranty just in case. Another issue would be that the Sleep mode on the current firmware is broken. Fortunately, there's an easy workaround to fix that on the current FW. Hopefully a future FW fixes that too.

As u might recalled, I have this KM3 as spare unit on my upper floor underutilized..

It's all working fine. Am willing to let go at $300 😆

Fortunately I don't have this on M8S Pro L nor KM3. On km3 there's no direct OTA yet however there few fw available from freaktab but since the box works well without glitch I don't see it as a concern. The box is set to off or on when I press the power button on the remote. I have not tried the sleep mode cos I prefer to power down

The link he provided refers to KM9 PRO

I used the sleep mode frequently on the M8S Pro L last time.. Part of the test driving.. IIRC, seemed okay... Can talk to crazy2 guy above if he's willing to buy yours..

Guys a quick one, is ROKU really worth it for Malaysian market? Since some apps like Playtv, AOTG ,KODI and etc cannot be use.

this question, only u able to answer it.

for me, its not worth it because dont hv those what i need.

Listen to megahertz... You yourself actually answered your question.. Think about it.. If apps people frequently use can't run on it? then those who require such apps won't consider purchasing it.

Get a separate Android box is better or a TV which already have built in Android features?

for me , I would get android box instead . if u got a 43-55" 4kK TV , a Rm200-300 3-4gb DDR4 Ram and 64gb memory tv box will do .

Get a tv with Android features..cause some tv already have certified apps like youtube or netflix..

For the TV, android or not, it is not the most important evaluation criteria. Most TV, android or not, already have the native and certified version of Netflix running.

However, sometimes people have requirement to run additional apps, this can only be fulfiled by an external android box. Example, AstroGo, YouTube without annoying advertisement which is suddenly louder than your nominal volume settings.

thanks for the reply . many thanks...

hopefully i dont brick my second box...

If you want to do this work, you must be prepared to brick the device ( the worst case ) and then learn enough to recover from it.

If you are not prepared to learn anything, then my advise is don't do it.
