this is good to know.
we now know, for AndroidTV (ATV) os, besides shieldTV, minix T5 can also do astrogo nicely.

do u happen to use home theater?
if yes, can u do me a favor, see if this box can playback (with kodi or other player app) ) own videos on HDD and passthru dtshdma and ddtruehd audio?
TQVM!

Don't think so. But it is said to be google certified, meaning it is probably widevine L1.

when it does get official L1/netflix hd/4k, many will be interested in - for rm400.

It is a shame as Minix is quite well known brand.. with that spec, at least it should be Netflix certified.. curse netflix..

It's all about money. You pay, you get certified.

Hopefully it will get certified and I might give this brand a try otherwise don't have good reason to pay the slight premium

Guys right now I am using Tx3 Mini-A for AOTG.
Flawless!

Beside it my old GT1 with custom ATV 7.1 rom.
I use this for everything except video streaming.
For video streaming I prefer TV app.

My plan is to combine this 2 box in to 1 box haha.

So I am looking for a box that has below criteria:

1) able to run AOTG HD smoothly.
2) must be ATV 8.1 or latest with chromecast.
3) voice assistant
4) usb 3.0
5) able to output 4k 60fps
6) dts n dolby

Thanks for the suggestion.

Let say I drop ATV. Suddenly feel this is better because my most use cases is non ATV apps like AOTG and Directv.
Yet still ATV apps can run without issue on non ATV OS right.

revised requirement:
1) able to run AOTG HD smoothly.
2) must be android 9 at least
3) usb 3.0
5) able to output 4k 60fps smoothly
6) passthrough DTS MA & Dolby THD

What box can best fit? Budget 400-500. Generally I want a box that can last longer (>3 years), so build quality must good.
I am waiting bro AVfan to do review on TX3 (S905X3).

Anyone heard about Ugoos AM6 / AM6 Pro?
Using flagship S922 and it has root option to OFF.

Guess good fit for AOTG.

Any comments?
