I am new to this android tv box. I am using a samsung smart tv. I am not subscribed to astro, but i would like to watch HK dramas. Should I get a tv box? Thanks.

Chromecast with Google TV Short Review.



In summary, this Chromecast with Google TV is worth to get, it is very value at RM 280 and smooth for any stream content. I highly suggest no reason to get Mi Box or Mi Stick anymore.
But the storage only 4GB means you cannot install many apps unless you expand your storage using USB-C Hub.

Interface
- It is fancy if you connected to US server via VPN with movies suggestion. Bad is you get suggestion on top instead of apps.
- All suggestion is not for Malaysia as Malaysia is not a support country. Good is you redirected to apps.
- The Interface is in 1080p even you set your screen as 4K and you need to set screen as 4K if you want playback content in 4K. So it is not as sharp as Apple TV 4K interface.

Performance & Support
- It is shockingly good and smooth. Definately no issue for streaming performance.
- Finally the Match Content is working and support Dolby Vision up to 60hz 4K. This is not the case for Mi Box.
- I am shock it is instant switching within HDR and SDR, very fast. Apple TV 4K switching take around 2 to 3 seconds.

Disney+Hostar
- Compare with Apple TV 4K, they is no bugs of blue screen flickering when you go to sub menu.
- Video and Audio quality wise I find it is same good.

Netflix
- It is always Netflix had more features in any platform others than Apple. Apple don't have Top 10 or New Title Suggestion.
- Video and Audio quality wise I find it is also same good.

Apple TV+
- It load faster than my LG TV Smart Apps but it still take sometimes. This part Apple TV 4K is instant.
- Video and Audio quality wise I find it is also same good.

Plex
- It is very powerful and support up to 4K HDR REMUX video but with some condition not in Dolby TrueHD track as this device is not support Lossless track. You can either use Plex add-on for KODI to let it playback as LPCM, off course this lost the Dolby Atmos like Apple TV 4K. Plex official apps is not supported output as LPCM but allow transcode to AAC but the quality is even worst than compatible lossy track. So far I only know Nvidia Shield TV Pro is the only device supported Lossless track.

Astro GO
- Yes, you can side load Astro GO but you need to find the mod version and mouse or air mouse is required for navigation. The mode version video quality is good and smooth.

what is the file format (eg. mp4? ) ? how big is the file ?

Following 3 is recommended

• Nvidia Shield TV Pro - every format included lossless track - Dolby TrueHD, support Dolby Atmos for Dolby TrueHD.
• Apple TV 4K - every format but lossless track is output as LPCM, lost of Dolby Atmos for Dolby TrueHD.
• Chromecast with Google TV - every format but lossless track can only output as LPCM using Plex plug-in for KODI and also lost of Dolby Atmos for Dolby TrueHD. For official Plex apps it need transcode to AAC and sound even worst than compatible lossy track.

I just got myself a TX6 4gb 64gb.

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/new-tx6-...s977980500.html

Thinking of it would load with all apps like lifetime premium live TV, Netflix premium like what my friend's TV box has, but i was wrong.

Netflix premium not configured
Premium Live TV for 2 day trials
All kinds of apps which have ads on every 2 channels switch

Is this an expected for this unit?
How do you guys get a workaround on this?

this is self install app tvbox
u need 399-599 tvbox to get channels like ur friend tvbox

Just bought a km2 mecool from tvbox2u. Can recommend which air mouse to go for ? Now HV to use both remote and wireless computer mouse to navigate. Tia

Do you know how to load up those channels app like my friend has? TQ

Currently using this. Pretty good I'd say. Not exactly the air mouse I think.

PLEX + APPLE TV + INFUSE = HEAVEN

Not yet heaven because Apple TV 4K not support Dolby Atmos in Dolby TrueHD.

Also the switching in between SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision take few seconds, not instant like Chromecast with Google TV.

Another thing is Apple TV 4K not support native VPN apps, only DNS for VPN is not sufficient.

All this 3 things Apple fixed it, then just is Heaven. Now is stepping but not in.
