Cable. Owh. Really? I will try again tonight.

so far so good. 
been watching Netflix and stream movies from my pc using VLC. no lag at all. but my tv only full hd. not 4k. so I am not sure how will it perform.
unifi tv can install but got error playback 111. only luxe channel is working. but can stream hd without any problem. astro on the go not working at all due to rooted.

These is the only apps I have tested so far. Haven't tried others. Cos actually I just got the box yesterday morning.

Mecool is already pre-rooted, though some of us actually hide the root via Magisk to launch some apps example AOTG

The box is running Android 7.0 with Google apps pre-installed.
There are 2 variants, one is Android 7.0 and another is Android TV version.

Selling in shopee, Lazada, 11street. Look for vouchers.

You can root or unroot with this box

muix

it's there, you just need to navigate abit to reach the vod menu.

Or you can just buy another device that has actual gigabit ethernet and USB ports.. Any particular reasons why the MiTV box 3?

There are plenty other confirmed unrooted devices WITH dedicated ethernet and USB ports. I suggest you look at those instead.
Worth and recommended to use with Minix devices. Though works for others too. Except Minix device dedicated buttons won't work as intended. Been using the Neo A2 Lite airmouse with rechargeable Eneloop batteries. Almost daily usage.. Lasts months easy. I don't expect the upgraded Neo A3 Airmouse to perform any less.. Barring it a lemon unit of course. 

Haven't you bought the latest mi box?

Again, perhaps if you could list your budget, your expectation on using the box, any particular apps, shows that you'd like to have on the box incl if you are willing to pay for subs.

That'll give the otai here some idea for recommendation

Probably better to stick with 4K res in the settings.. Cuz then the UI (if supported) & apps like Kodi with support will output at 4K res..

I'm happy they specced it out with 4GB DDR4 RAM + 64GB EMMC ROM... This if you ask me should be the minimum or standard for flagship boxes.. Particularly the ROM storage part. Cuz most would want to play games (faster & more energy efficient DDR4 helps greatly here too) and perhaps stream higher bitrate files on it. With 5xGB+ free ROM, it's good. It does look Google certified.. But of course, since the Netflix logo or wordings are missing, I don't think it's Netflix certified too.. Lastly, my major downside on their latest (if not all) boxes is that MeCool still ships out with 100Mbps ethernet ports.. C'mon, Gigabit should be standard d.. Without which it's still hard for me to justify them over Minix.

Nope.. AFAIK.. It isn't compatible with Android TV OS and it does require a properly installed Busybox..Which means, the device must be rooted.
Compatible OS versions: Android 2.3 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 4.2 / 4.3 / 4.4 / 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0
CPU platforms: ARM (ARM CortexA8 or higher), x86(Atom/i3/i5/i7)

Mi Box doesn't not apply to the above.

You are welcome. The MiBox S should be producing good sound and can passthrough some others. If I may ask, why are you interested in installing extra sound mod?

I see.. Though I have to say that this is my first time reading such report. Makes me wonder, could it be the TV's speakers instead that's the culprit? You turned it up to max volume and still insufficient? Try checking within the app's settings, if it supports external player. Then set Kodi or VLC as the default.. Try.. I'm unsure, cuz never checked.. AOTG probably won't have such option to play via an external player. And I have no issues about loudness and clarity with current and older boxes, but I'm using a Home Theater via HDMI-ARC la.. So different case.

Maybe, you could look into investing in some external speaker system? Even a cheap decent 2.1 set will sound much better than the average Smart TV's speakers. Unless mid-high level TVs. Even then, I still advise getting dedicated speakers setup.
Depends on your requirements.. Pls see page one first.. Thanks.

I'm pleased to announce that I entered & favor was granted.. But first... Preparatory pics.. Taken using an iPad, so forgive me..Will be using a better cam for the proper review. This post is just to announce it's arrival and get feedback from you folks. What would you like me to try out.. How? etc.. In addition to my usual test runs. I haven't powered it on yet.. Will do that over the weekend. 

Some box and device shots..
