Guys, for my first android tv box (zero experience) , do you think I should buy a RM500~RM600 box or a cheaper option like RM200~RM400 box?
Mainly will use for streaming english/chinese/hongkong drama or some movie. For movie playback from so far I am quite satisfied with my Samsung 4k TV (ks7000 series) . The downside is the Samsung custom OS have quite limited apps available. I would prefer it to be a smooth device without much lag.
Currently I am in between this 2 box as suggested by fellow forumers here.

http://www.lazada.com.my/himedia-q10pro-4t...ml?ff=1&boost=1

Actually tempted to get those paid ahem iptv service but their box seems low spec and I am worry of sluggish performance.

thanks in advance fellow sifus smile.gif

it seems like there are a lot of formats are not supported for Q5pro.

for q10 pro, there are some almost inevitable compromises, most notably the occasional loss of synch with 23.976 frames per second content – which accounts for most movies and blockbuster TV series (direct quote from avforums) actually i am not sure whats that means but from the review, it seems like a lot of movie files are impacted  confused.gif  "https://www.avforums.com/review/himedia-q10-pro-android-media-player-review.12668"
*
the native player in q5 pro is same as q10 pro.

i will be surprised if there is any diff for any reason.

some of the reviews u read are obsolete.

i have been using q10 pro for 3 months now.

and have yet to come across a single file that it cannot play!

i will comment further in the himedia thread.

Actually everything is 3/16 except the posters.

This box do have 3/16 option...as well as 2/8 & 3/32.

Fulfill by Artway...good seller...but they don't have this 3/16 on their Alibaba & Aliexpress store...

Worst-case is they ship 2/8 over and the hassle to return...2/16 still OK to keep...RM 175 - bank discount - cash back <~150...where else to get biggrin.gif

I consider these "throw away" boxes...so not worried about future firmware updates...test kaw kaw what I need now, if not just send back if can or give away...don't put hope on future firmware fix that may never come...

Just wondering, if using this settings, would one be able to access most channels on Mangotv and Kodi?

This was asked before. We discussed this same comparison many moons ago...the table/info is plain wrong.

Better don't let certain people read about the currency being pathetic.. tongue.gif Many of these "unknown" boxes are basically the same thing. Just rebranded and packaged..

I just going through Kodi for Dummies installation from TV addons, I find that they recommend for paid debrid service. My questions:
1) What is that?
2) In Malaysia is it worth it? I on unifi pro 30

Personally I don't have a 4k TV but there's a lot of FREE add-on in Kodi which can easily return 1080 streams albeit 5.1 if u r using quasar (I've not tried)

In that sense at this moment I don't see a need to pay for DB. Again if u r willing to pay for DB subscription then I would think u may want to compare against having a Netflix account

Maybe those with DB could highlight the benefits and cost of having a DB Account

Lol.... It's the reality

Rebranded or not, there's always the few who are willing to try in their attempt to venture into this space b4 moving up😇

Furthermore I personally think most entry level box with S905x are much stable and trouble free for beginners. Do not need to mod from kancil to BMW 😁

there is somewhat of a conflict for beginners to choose the "right" box.

if totally new, hard to justify spending big bucks.

but it is usually the big bucks boxes that are well made, less problematic and with good support that allows the user to learn fast! biggrin.gif

so, RM200 or RM600 or RM1600?

perhaps, the best answer is a "middle of the road" box say rm300-400, many users already, can get some help in forums.

but what particular brand or model would that be?

i look back 5 years when i bought my first box - "premium" (at that time) but had no support.

i had no idea about streaming at all but was sure i wanted a box that can playback dtshdma for my home theater.

the good thing was the box was well made, stable firmware, did not give strange problems.

so whatever tip i got from anywhere and anyone was useful.

of course, many hours of work before finally "getting it".

In addition to what GuyM posted..
RD FAQ.
Only you can answer that. I.e. Some say having a Netflix account is not worth it.. I say it is cuz it's Netflix... I'm happy, HM is happy.. all's good... So start with free and if you feel it's worth coughing up the lil extra?? Go ahead.

Yeah, the Kancil is stable and trouble-free till one gets used to it and wants to drive it like a BMW... Not matter the mods, it'll surely break down and guess what?? You begin to hate the kancil and who know.. All Perodua vehicles.... So if in the beginning, can afford the BMW straightaway & sleep better at night... Why not? biggrin.gif
