Hi all sifu here, I'm new to Android TV Box and below are my questions:
a) wondering can I watch online free for:
- new/old English / Chinese movies, animation (cartoon)
- China/Taiwan TV channel
- what other channels that I can watch?

b) Just need to install apps and then can enjoy all the free tv/movies?
Do I need to root/subscribe?

c) How about those Astro channel? Need to subscribe? Are they legal? sweat.gif

Many boxes are able to meet this requirement.

For AstroGo, if you are not very technical, then buy non-root devices. If you are willing to go a bit technical, rooted also non issues.

Some TV Box cannot work with AstroGo apps, so is related to root or non-root?

AstroGo needs an Astro ID thats linked with an Astro Account.. its not free.. u need to know someone who has a paid Astro subscription and ask them for access to their Astro account..

So is this same with hypptv, right? Need online register 1st before can login ?

I just use it to watch AEC and XTY only. They are free laugh.gif

Oh, just online register, and these 2 channels are free even don't have the paid Astro subscription?

Obviously.. If it was the Minix Neo U9-H + A3 Airmouse, I would buy 2 sets.. One to use till break and another to replace it if broken..  laugh.gif  I've been keeping my eyes on that and the Gamesir G4S or G5 gamepad.

Yeah, if got G4S good deals, do ping me... haha sweat.gif

If you read the page one, you'd know that there is nothing like a TV or Kodi box.. There are (as you say) boxes running Android OSes that sometimes ship stock or with certain apps. This here thread is to discuss said boxes and not illegal IPTV streams.. There's a separate section for such. I would advise again that you read through page one lest you end up paying for crap, only to return here few months later asking again which box to buy.
Sure, will do.. You too, alert me if significant price changes..  thumbup.gif

Thanks, will consider the Mi Box as well as the Minix U1. Any good air mouse to recommend? I have only used the Minix A2 Lite before.

I found MX3-L is cheap and has a very good review on it. I'm not sure those seller sell in Lxxxda/Sxxxe/Lxxlong is same as this MX3-L or not.
YouTube Link
MX3-L - GearBest

actually air mouse is not tat necessary right? wireless mouse is pretty sufficient already isnt it?
*
I think is depends on which apps or what you want to do, if you want to type while browsing website or youtube, then you may need keyboard, so air mouse + keyboard may suitable for this case.
For normal wireless mouse, you need a surface to work on it. If you do not have it in front of your TV, for example you enjoy your TV in front of TV, then your wireless mouse may not able to work perfectly.

Easy fix.. YouTube Kids for regular Android or YouTube Kids for Android TV.
For future proofing, definitely get the Minix Neo U9-H instead. Minix devices are a sure powerhouse and run regular Android OS. Offers better apps compatibility and no hoops to jump through, unlike Android TV OS.

Thanks for this tips sweat.gif

finally i just stick with wifi only, even though i have to face signal loss due to router limitation.. still prefer lan but yah, just face it..

Ok.. Solved.. Tq bro

Interesting on how you tweak the LAN as WiFi.
