about iflix, my phone still will not load iflix although 2 slots are empty.

this new mibox, can it run astro-on-the-go, hypptv everywhere?

atog doesn't work, not surprised... many dun work, only a minority of boxes do.

hypp e'where - 2 or 3 devices allowed other than yr hyppbox.
just install the app from playstore on any device, use id/pw to log in (not yr wifi ones, need to call n ask if u do not hv).
this one also works on some, dun work on others.
that's why i asked u.

u hv hyppbox meant for hypptv.

but u use it for hypp e'where?

My view is this...

Astro and Hypptv - if using the orig decoders, the video is 1080i 50hz, good.

using apps, they are in SD.

OK on tablets.

but i refuse to watch them on my TV.

You just proved that it is an iflix-unifi cockup.

Albeit unintentional, i suppose.

if u describe:

.. how much it is
.. how u will buy
.. how u intend to watch hk movies/drama, eng movies
.. what broadband speed u hv

can comment further.

if u hv read at least the first 2 pages of this thread, u will have an idea how these boxes work.
they are not like astro or hyppbox where u just press buttons.
the box is empty at first, need to load in the apps.
depending where u buy and who u buy from, some of them come with some apps preinstalled.
the thing is are those what u want?
if they aren't, where and how will u find what u want?
a lot of apps look good but they don't work well or don't work at all!
also, some apps die off after a few weeks or so, u need to find updates.

how good a box is is determined by the specs of the chipset and the firmware the maker put in it.
that box u mention is 1/16gb android5. 2/16gb is the norm now.
as for firmware, poor ones will eventually lead to problems like hanging, slow response, cannot play this and that, etc.
a good box also has regular firmware updates and u know here to get them.

it is understandable that u are still finding out how it all works.
take time to read the first few pages, a lot of work has been put there by TS.

the above is about online streaming.
another way to watch videos is first download on your pc, then playback at the box via usb port/hdd.
most people use an android box for both purposes.

lastly, RM400...u have quite some choices.
again, some popular brands and models listed in the first page of thread.

tq!

this one is a subset of awantv.

limited stuff but stable, pretty good.

no, not a kodi issue.

once u set upmix, amplification and "apply to all media", it will stay like that.

bro,

any free n good ones, dun forget to share.

TQ!

"Chinese" can be china, taiwan, hongkong, axtro stuff; live tv or vod.

Generally speaking, hd china live and vod stuff is easiest to get... yes, standalone apps.

China live tv is easy becos i think beijing has wants more people on the planet to watch their stuff!

The rest, can get some here, some there, even kodi... some in hd, some in sd.

Underutilized... an interesting comment.

For most light users, 2/8 gb will suffice.
Enthusiasts will be better off with 2/16gb as the apps pile up.

Your box... 32gb, right?
That will be fully utilized if u hv the speed to do biggest files on kodi quasar.
The available 20gb or so can be utilized with some 1080p hd audio remux files.
No need external storage, nice!

A paid goat?

If not costly, its worth it.

Of all those i tried, goat is probably the best in terms of variety, stability and video quality.

U hv 2 distinct needs... spotify music/dac and watch videos on tv... at 2 diff locations.

2 uses, 2 locations... hard to use single device.

I will not crack my head and deal with inconvenience.... use 2 devices!

Spotify is a rather simple app, just 2.0 audio. U just need an old tablet or phone with right connections to dac.

The box u bought is a powerful one, a waste just for spotify.


What i do, i use the box mainly for videos on tv, with avr and speakers.

When i want spotify music, i just pick one artiste and let it run with the tv off... until i want to change artiste.

Able to watch bwf india open or not?

Not a big badminton fan, but think i will watch semis and finals.

The big bwf one is later in the year in glassgow, right?

Quarter finals now... men doubles.. malaysia vs china.


Yes, world championship in august.

ya, astro.

pls do not try to start illegal package talk here.

let's find some answers to this "root".

i also dunno why people root any box.

maybe it's a myth that with rooting, a box becomes superior?



.. can anyone with a good understand explain the reasons for rooting an android box?

.. i can imagine rooting lets u get access as admin and muck around with the firmware.

.. what popular apps need rooting to work?

.. what other advantages with a rooting box? faster, free more memory?

.. what are the risks of rooting a box besides voiding the warranty?

.. what else?

Err...

Can describe and elaborate some of the superior aspects u get by rooting?

this root and unroot biz for astrogo is a big myth.

imo, everybody got it wrong.


all my android devices, 7 in total... are unrooted.

astrogo works on 3 of them, not on the other 4.

please tell where does this root and unroot story comes in?!!
