7. Some cheap RM 200-300 S912 boxes...e.g., Beelink GT1, MXIII-II, Tronsmart S92, H96 Pro+, TX8 Max, M8S pro Android 7.1, etc. (I have Vensmile U1)


From first page, are these recommendation still valid?

budget Rm300 for a tv box.

I'm the TS over at the dedicated Kodi thread and have gotten many complaints about the MiBox and it's Kodi issues. It's not a recent thing.. Been happening a long time. Similarly, got ppl report the same about AOTG too.

Mecool KM9..?
voncrane lazada not much review on it. found one on lazada but it was preloaded and rooted.

anyone other choices?

i checkout lazada, those seller who sell preloaded channel (e.g Tx3, Tx6, T9, MX10, EVPAD), this mean they have their own app to access content? instead of like Kodi App or dedicated app like Netflix those?

For the Mecool KM9, you can buy from other online stores.. Not necessarily must be local only. There's Aliexpress or Gearbest.. Alternatively, you could still purchase from Lazada and factory reset the device.. If stock firmware, it should reset to default without the preloaded stuffs.

From the 5 listed devices, EVPAD is probably the only one that has its own ehem apps for content.. The rest are typicaly sellers just pre-installing a bunch of stuff that you may or may not need. Apps/services you can find yourself anyway.. I prefer a stock, light and mean firmware..then customize as to my liking vs having to deal with unnecessary crap and the issues that will crop up later when the apps die of or clash.
*
i see ur point here. i also prefer stock and light TV box.

therefore Mecool KM9 is more to those clean experience user?

Dose KM9 support AOTG?

Hmm. What I found on some review is the 4k performance can be stuttered even with a stable and fast internet connection. Then again my TV is not 4k-capable so that should not be an issue.

Aside from the MiBox S,
Any comments on the Modeo Android TV BOX, which is running on Amlogic S905X Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 @2GHz, Penta-core Mali-450MP GPU @ 750MHz, with 2GB Ram?
(Photo of the box -> https://www.lazada.com.my/products/modeo-an...xA7TL&search=1)

u want to consider Mecool KM9?

hi. Anyone that already bought Mecool KM9 (Goolgle Certified) or Mecool KM3 (Google Certified) care to give some review on the performance?

Can both devices output Dolby Atmos/ DTS X sound format to the receiver?

Currently using Kodi on Sony Androids TV, and the Pass-trough not working properly on Leia.

is it a necessarily to get one Google Certified?

i need some advise on buying a tv box. Im planning to get one for my parents, astro is too boring and nothing new.

Any recommendations for a good tv box which includes news, movies and HK dramas?

u better get one with preinstalled channel etc.

otherwise sendiri DIY is too complicated for layman.

Firstly I would like to thanks again AVFAN. Your recommendation is brilliant!

Below apps is running at Mi Box with DiGi Infinite 150 line.

The Shafa apps is awesome and it is very well done, now it became one of my main Android TV launcher app and replace the side launcher as no longer required.
It run perfectly smooth everywhere.

Below is 4 of my recommended apps for Chinese show, TV series and movies, not all can play as those VIP need money and for China only but the rest is more than enough for me already.

  • CIBN Very Simple TV - running smoothly in 1080p.
  • MoreTV - Good for some show where you can't get elsewhere, apps take sometimes to load the show title but no issue during playback in 1080p.
  • 云视听极光 - Very smooth in 1080p.
  • HDP Live Stream - the best Live Stream China channel, stream so so only, not extremely smooth due to buffer issue but it is the best already compare with others.
For English title, I only recommended Terrarium TV which can stream unbelievable smooth up to 1080p resolution with condition you just need to get the correct source link as only 2 source link is capable run perfectly smooth, the rest source link is garbage and keep buffering.

As for Live Stream, both Live NetTV and RedBoxTV quality is very bad and not smooth even on SD quality, some in HD quality channel wise is nearly not watchable at all.
*
found this from another thread. very useful for those who want to get some chinese related content.

云视听极光,MoreTV,CIBN all these 3 are very useful.

Hi. I not sure still working or not as I no longer own any Android TV box to test out.

yea i tested. those a few chinese content is working. very good. jz that we cant accesss VIP section. but for me is alright.

mainly using 云视听极光,MoreTV,CIBN

for me quite surprising that we can stream HD items without much buffering compared with those Kodi add-on.
