Hello Brothers, good day..

i am new to this android box stuff, i did analysis i kinda pening seeing lots of adroid box from rm100 to rm1000... some with 64gb, 4g ram, and extra..
Some saying need to use VPN, when does it required ?

My main concern, streaming 4K HDR UHD DOLBY supported android box since i have 4K HDR Dolby audio supported TV.
Im bored with ASTRO monthly paying high for nothing, and planning to have android box.
My TV already preloaded with some movie apps, such as NETFLIX, IFLIX, GOOGLEPLAYMOVIES, and extra.
But too bad, TV not allowing me to download other movie apps even from the preloaded web browser.
Probably restricted to download any apps directly to TV.
I see most of the apps in tv needed registration ?


Do i need the android box still ?

Hi bro i have looking that option to enable unknown source in tv.. like how we do in mobile.
But i do not see tht setting anywhere for NU8000 samsung smart tv.

I see those preinstalled apps in smart tv offering movies all need to subscribe monthly or yearly to watch movies.. some tv series seems free. If get android box would be having same restrictions right unless get apps that offering free movies.

Already have netflix in tv, premium UHD contain monthly rm51 ringgit.. but any restrictions or can stream smoothly for 100mbps unifi connection ? Or telco blocking any contains even pay for netflix ?

Great brother thanks for the information, really informative and appreciate it. Ya when i stream tv youtube 4k videos via celcom mobile hotspot, buffering like hell. Speed test, connection shows up to 50mbps, yet buffering probably wireless signal fluctuation. Wired is reliable i believe.

Between any suggestion on android box brother, nvidea shield kind a expensive with least space and ram.
Another brother recommended FIRE TV.

Fooohhh sudah pening for a moment... totally blank hahah..
Digesting the information you given here brother..

Bro.. just had my 100mbps unifi and subscribed for netflix which is free for 1st month..
But i see not so outstanding collection.. even i tried to search some old movies not able to find.. example LOTR,HOBBITS cannot be found
I thought it works better than free apps i used to watch movies where hell of collection old movies example popcorn..
But NETFLIX... is it different country has different collection and restrictions ?
I thought NETFLIX TV APP has issues, so downloaded app in my mobile and did searching yet same those movies cannot be found.

Another thing i tried to play UHD 4K movies but in my smart tv not full resolution, the screen not stretched even setting is 16:9
Most of the UHD 4K OR HDR movies not full stretched..
I even called NETFLIX support service, they claimed it depends on title and not all movies will.play full screen is that true ?
Checked the profile setting in mobile app anything related to the quality, since in TV NETFLIX no much settings. Just basic.
So in mobile app, checked the profile and changed from auto to high quality but no difference.

Below are the example on HDR & ULTRA HD 4K, title saying so but i have no idea whether the movie playing HDR/UHD4K. Puzzle

Brothers.. just checked some android box in digital mall here. Some of them giving inputs, was watching what they do aftet buy boxes and extra. Clarified on the boxes.

They saying not all box can support netflix 4k, can install but just plays 720p. Only netflix compatible can play like appletv or nvidea shield.
According to him appletv, want to pay for streaming.
Not open like rest.

Himedia Q10pro seems 4k Uhd dolby supported can install any app. Can insert additional storage.
Default 2gb ram 16gb capacity. Better performance with good wifi antena
Price rm529 with remote.

Skybox looks smaller, not supporting 4kUHD. Can install any apps. Skysports
Price about rm400..
apps will be installed

Neo u9h minix seems better performance, can install any app. Hav restriction for skysports. Supprt 4K HDR DOLBY.
Netflix 720p ? Comes blank have to install everything
Price rm599 with airmouse 2.

Mibox, price 399, apps need to install own.

Hi bro, like u said my tv netflix already capable of playing in 4k uhd hdr with 5.1 dolby. Initially i wanted to have same feature from netflix installed in androidbox. I also had idea of using Vpn so can go for more content, since my tv not allowed to do so. But after reading what boxes netflix certified, which can play 4k, which can do atmos, restrictions.. i backoff from this netflix+atmos mindset.

Based on my current understanding from all of you guys input i can conclude..

1. Nvidea shield capable of 4k hdr and atmos, can play netflix in 4k but nonatmos. App freedom wise need to dig more if any restrictions.
2. Apple 4k tv compatible with netflix can play 4k and atmos. App or apk freedom.wise there is restrictions.
3. Himedia q10 4k hdr atmos capable, but not netflix certified able to install apk but up to 720. App freedom unlimited.
4. Minix neou9h 4k hdr nonatmos, works similar to himidea.
5. Xiomi mibox support 4k netflix nonatmos, app freedom unlimited.

Correct me if im wrong..

Based on @AVFAN template

.. your knowledge level with androids?
➡Knowledge upto instalation, apps, using android mobile. Not up to rooting or troubleshooting. Still new for this android box chapter.

Bro which page is the difference u stated for both box brother.. i am still at page number 50.. alot to read oh my god..

2017 it self both minix u9h and himedia q10pro already available. 2 years in market now ? I wonder how many firmware or os updates both gone through... in 2 years roughly 100 or 200 lesser now ...

Hi guys quite busy lately , missed some updates..

Few days back went to lowyat, they seems not selling himedia and minix ? Some Claiming HIMEDIA and MINIX running old android, obselete, lower spec and suggesting to go for higher spec latest android. No idea brainwashing or what
Some Saying only selling famous box. Not aware of those box weird and so on.
Anyway just walked around and checked few box for information purposes.. hahaha

H96mini 2gb ram 16gb rom, bundle with LEOPROTV - android 8
H96max 4gb ram 32gb, bundle with LEOPROTV - android 8
INIFINITE 2gb ram 16gb, bundle with IPTV lifetv - android 8
EVPAD 3 / 3s bundle with MARS livetv
Another box starts with Star...

Probably this new boxes offer higher ram or rom with latest android compare legacy box HIMEDIA or MINIX. This attracts buyers towards. Stability compatibility durability chipset wise there must be pro and cons.

Now i understood wht they mean by 1 time pay. It is livetv which they install in it. That live tv has international programes, KOREA, US CHINA MALAYSIA INDIA SINGAPORE SPORTS, all astro channels. That is what bundle with the box. All the box are rooted. Tried to install astro onthego in h96max it says not allowed in jailbreak device.
If you have own empty box giv it to them they register livetv for yearly subscription 200 or 300..

Example..... one shop selling H96 mini and max bundle with LEOPRO live tv giving 3 years warranty for software.. it can be used live time.. but after 3 years if program cannot used and resubscribe again..
Quoted price rm680.. 1 year warranty for hardware, 3 year warranty for software + Airmouse

Another shop selling INIFINITE. That box comes with IPTV live tv which is bundle. This IPTV he said live time. One time registration. Box and software rm699

HIMEDIA and MINIX as default nonrooted box.
Box itself 500+ if install Live tv then need to pay extra 300. And definitely they will root it i believe.
Installing MYIPTV4K seems do not need to root, but the subscription every year renewable.

I wonder UNIFI connection accepts this kind of liveTV or not. LEOPROTV, MARSTV, IPTV, MYIPTV4K, once subscribed any blocking or buffering then money waste. At shop they testing with non unifi broadband so no idea.

MYIPTV4K is convinient similar to aztroo with program guide
LEOPROTV more english channels
IPTV and MARS lesser

Yes brother exactly ,
He offer H96 max 4gb 64gb + leoprotv for rm680..
In lazada the same box cost about 240..
So they adding 440 just Live tv subscribtion ?
Other alternate he told me if get other box still can get those livetv for rm300..
Wow good profit making... rm140..?
Or else they taking upfront for 3 years.. saying giving 3 years warranty ?
Probably per annum rm100..
Not sure how this works, i installed in mobile tried to use livetv but required activation code.
So cannot use free la..
They register device details with their dealer..
Sounds cool...

How are you guys.. long time not follow up on the androidbox so no idea what is the latest box in the market. MINIX U9H and HIMEDIA Q10 PRO price still not low yet. Damn.. i thought after few months 100 or 200 lesser hahaha. Still 500+

Heard below mecool can support hypptv, aztrogo, myiptv and 4k contents well with dual wifi band.
Anyone using it any feedback ?

seller confirmed mecool KM3 can play both assthrow and hypetvv well. Mecool M8S MAX do not support hypptv.

Guys is this new MINIX ?

I have 100mbps unifi connection. Each time speedtest result is between 70 to 100.
Online streaming in 4k smart tv via 5g wifi connection.
I use interenet 100%
Streaming youtube never had lagging or time to time buffering.
Netflix usually plays well in original content 4k or hd or hdr.
However if internet speed bad the pic quality drops and gradually gets better once speed catchup..
Never had buffering in netflix.

Online streaming directly from tv browser via online free website takes time to buffer and movie plays.
Sometime play smoothly then all off sudden it starts lag / buffers time to time.
That really irritates and immediately do speedtest result seems good.
So clueless put blame on internet speed fluctuation or movie hosting server busy processing.

I have android box mecool km3 4gb ram.. kind a good spec..
Unrooted box can use astro on the go and unifi
I have all the free apps to watch movies or sports.
I watch sports from those freeapp really iritatting too , not crystal clear or smooth play..
It plays the all of sudden buffers.
Playing movie from free app also buffers..
Quality of pics not good though..

So clueless.. again
MECOOL box is not up to the par ?
Should get better spec android box ?
Internet connection fluctuation ?
Free apps hosting server bad processing ?
Too many users accessing free aps makes server become busy ?
This happens in all free app such as livenettv swifttv redbox

So i wonder what magic MYIPTV can do, does play smooth with no buffering and gives good pic quality ?

Hahaha...
So any answers for the clueless chapter ?
Which android box can play without buffering ?
When you have solid internet speed yet it buffers so its on hosting server overloads ?
Free apps hosting server are underperform compared paid app hosting servers ?

I came across EVPAD 3 androidbox which approved by MCMC and sirim.
This box 2gb ram 16gb rom cost about 400+ offers IPTV where you can watch astro contents and international contents with no buffer.
I beleive this box iptv alrdy been subscribed and price included in that 400+
Heard this iptv is life time no expiry, not sure.
This IPTV they offers seems have schedule of future programs for certain content.
The drawback is this box not allowed to install any pirated or free aps inside where the admin detects and block it.
I am.not sure how far this true but it does make sense since box approved by MCMC.
Still can use browser to access online streaming i believe.

Team , anyone here using MECOOL KM3 ?.
any idea how to customize homescreen and move some apps from sidelauncher to home screen.
I tried possible ways or setting but cannot move the app to main screen.
Do i need to install any app ?
Current home screen icon is horizontol scrolling.

Hi sifus would like to get some tshoot steps from you experts.
No idea box issue or provider related.
- Using mecool km3 4gb ram android 9 with 4k hdr supported.
- Smart tv 4k supported
- Unifi 100mbps

4k content in netflix app and youtube in Tv playing smoothly.
So definitely internet fine.

Tested 4k content from myiptv app installed in mecool km3, not playing smooth.
All.4k contents same, stuttet or judder how to call it no idea.
I checked all the settings in the android box and also tv but none works.

I wanted to test playing 4k movies separately in android box instead of playing from myiptv4k but no idea where to.stream or download from.
Most of the apks only hav up to 1080p
1080p in myiptv 4k no issues, plays smoothly.

Anyone experiance this kind of issue ?
