For astro on the go  and hypptv you must be more careful as it doesn't work on rooted device. Need to find non root android box

You know how certain videos, the actor's voice will be so soft, have to turn up the sound then boom explosion/music make you deaf, anyway to fix this? Software fix maybe?
*
voice soft then sound effect kicks in loud is normal…that's called dynamic range.

Im not sure Kodi has this function but if via TV audio settings, usually there's an audio normalization or auto levelling feature.
*
yes, kodi has the option.

Android 5.1 with 2gb ram got:

Mini MX
M8S Plus
T95M
M9S Pro
MXQ Pro
KIII

Among all above i think mini mx is newer.

If cant work then just try with smartphone with ir blaster, install app like peel remote or 悟空遥控

Else get those programmable remote, can manually/automatically hantam ir signal.

Last time what i did for other device was using smartphone remote control app, then use programmable remote control to copy those ir signal.

The english stream is on youtube and free iptv.

But cctv5, cctv5+ are blocked.

Mixed doubles... such a neck to neck match!

CHINA WON!

What a great match.


Update: Malaysia mixed won the first set. But not as exciting as the england vs china game just now.

Update 2: Malaysia mixed won the match.

Though quite some time didn't turn on the tv box already...luckly 云视界and xhzb still working for me to watch all england.

Btw, sad to see our mixed double lose like that, and congrat our latuk win the men single again. Salute the china guy who finish the match after the injury.

QUOTE(Drian @ Apr 10 2017, 03:06 PM)
Ok guys can you recommend me an android TV based on my criteria below.

Some Background:-

My living room now contains astro decoder, mitv3s with ahem iptv, Dune(legacy from the olden days before the android tv era), hypptv  tvbox. These are connected to the internet either by wifi or homeplug. I also have a soundbar connected to my dune through optical.

Dune:- To play downloaded HD HQ from my NAS. Bought this long long time ago. 
Astro:- Usual Satelite TV decoder. Watch Astro
MITV:- bought together with ahem iptv preloaded.
HYpptv tv box:- Comes together with Unifi for free.
 
As you can see there are TOO MANY devices and TOO MANY remotes to handle. I can't stand the clutter and the ratnest and the number of power plug, power cord, lan cable, HDMI cable. I can't use my soundbar because there's just too many wires.

What I want is a device that can replace all of the above device into 1.  I plan to sell everything else, cancel ASTRO and just focus on 1 device. Because of that I don't mind paying more for a good quality tvbox.
Can't use apple tv as I can't use it to play my downloaded stuff and ahem iptv support is lacking.
Can you guys recommend me an android TV that can do the following(lets assume budget is not a concern first):-

1.)Able to install all legit iptv:-

  Netflix, Iflix, Amazon TV? etc.

2.)Able to install ahem iptv without all those rooting and all.
  For Astro and paid iptv.

3.)Able to play all my HD content in NAS.
  My old Dune is Excellent in this regards. Could play 99.9% of all the downloaded stuff with no hiccups.
      This is my expectation on the new Android TV.


3.)Have Wifi AC connection( My Asus router 5GHz band is underutilised)

  Reduce wire clutter

4.) Proper Dolby 5.1 decoding?(Is it necessary? if my soundbar is able to decode it?) 


5.)Optical out(SPDIF)
    Important to connect to my soundbar
   
6.) Voice Recognition on remote/ Keyboard on remote?
    What I notice when using MITV is typing in youtube is pain in the ass


7.) Good Support and fan base for the android TV.

    "Easier to find help and support"

8.)Stable software and few bugs.
  I come from using apple iphone/ios/ipad so I think my expectation on this is higher.
My mi 3s you tube app  would crash once in a while searching , and irritates me so much because i was using the remote to type.


9.)Smooth experience

  Again coming from iphone/ipad kind of polished os background.

10.)VPN support
Just in case I need it for netflix, hulu and all
11.) OPTIONAL:-4K support for future

one more thing ability to cast from iphone/ipad if available.
*
i think you don't have to scratch head to replace all your stuff.

you just need to learn cable management laugh.gif

On Lazada...it's listed as "KM8S pro"... @April 22
3/16GB - RM 335
2/16GB - RM 289

Still shows up in my cart laugh.gif but a bit cheaper now...

no bro...i swear bro Topeng Perak's claim is true because I am the one who found it. laugh.gif

Cut the long story, Lazada honoured all the orders before it was removed from the sku.

no, i didn't bought any because i don't need and i am not scalper either.

i gave the opportunity to those new to android tv box.

you can't buy a truck load for mispricing stuff because they won't honour it. but different story if you just order 1pcs so the chance to fulfill the order is higher.

Thanks, yes i will head over to the TV threads to get some leads on it.Don't want to drift too far into it here.

off the top of my head:

Max 3500 ish
Samsung/LG ?
55
FHD (dont really need 4k right now)
Non HDR should be fine i guess.
Manufacturers warranty.
*
get the 4k model...

some different rm300 compare to fhd model.

but some 4k model u get 1 more hdmi port, better response rate, and upscaler (maybe)

worth to pay the extra.

imo, fhd best until 43". more than that get 4k model.

After reading all the content (especially page 1), I've decided my requirement is simple and went for the Docooler M9S Pro 3/32G box

Received it and it's working fine so far. Haven't done much. Just streaming and watched some series from thumb drive

Here's where I bought bought it from - https://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...ails.0.0.THQ5oJ

Cheers and thanks for all the content sharing

maybe u can update page 1, the complaint here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=85523370

but M9S Pro is kinda old already.


Tips for Newcomers:
You can browse thru lazada and shortlist those model with amlogic S905X chipset 2G/16G and above config. Just bear in mind, avoid rockchip chipset (RK3XXX)

I browsed thru lazada just now a while...seems like they flood with many 1G/8G tv box, make newcomers hard to choose.

i think these 2 sellers not bad. but remember printscreen the product page if you purchase from lazada because scare the seller send the wrong model for you so you can argue with lazada later and get refund.
