Saw the Amazon deal. So tempting to get one. You guys think there'll be limited stock?

If may be out of stock thanks to new Geforce Now update but on amazon it'll show 'temporarily out of stock' which u can still place order and will be shipped once re-stock..

Amazon postpone primeday again (17 in US meaning tomorrow 18 July here)

Price of shield still $179 as of today.

i wonder why need to go all the way to US and back when the shield is Taiwan product. We have to pay all that stupid amazon shipping, handling and US import duty (they're waived this time during prime day) but then still.

Im pretty sure the shipment is from HongKong not from US

It's not postponed. From what I've been looking up it seems prime day was never only a single day. Might be that the nvidia shield going for 139 was just a rumor as I can't seem to find this price being mentioned in any websites sweat.gif

EDIT : After further digging and looking at the comments on AFTV, they claim its gonna be a fire deal for the 139 one. Supposedly 3am local time hmm.gif

Ohh you're right, but out of stock. Should be ok if you don't mind waiting, but I think i'll pass since I already have the Minix and it isn't that big of a deal now...

Yeah probably not a good deal already if you have minix. This is my first android TV box and was considering between the minix and this one. Lucky enough this deal came up and it was a no brainer when the discount makes the shield cost the same as the minix biggrin.gif

how much would the shield end up costing if you buy from US Amazon website? i mean is the price you pay on the website the total price? or do you need to allow some money for extra taxes? and is this the case for any items you order from amazon us website? or is it depend on price? or type of item you order?
*
If not mistaken most electronics are not taxed. The price stated on Amazon website is final and if somewhere along the way you are taxed extra can claim back from them. For things like phone and this android box might need to get additional sirim cert which cost rm100 but also depends on luck. If customs don't notice your item then you might get away without having to apply for the sirim.

So lucky. Usually all wireless devices need SIRIM. But if really need to apply SIRIM, Amazon going to pay since it covers import fees? Or us? Anyone know?
*
As far as I know we have to cover, or maybe can claim back from them.

My unit still stuck at kastam with no new updates sweat.gif 3 days already. Hopefully it gets through soon.

Have u called DHL customer service? They will give u the contact no of the person handling your case. You apply for appeal if they say need permit. Hopefully all good

For tax usually Amazon will request upfront one. For my case it say didn't have any tax. SIRIM is a diff case tho. We need to pay on top and provide them with slip or receive for DHL to do clearance

Ah, I just got the email from the forwarder to apply for sirim sweat.gif Mine is under Aramex and they didn't say we can appeal or anything

Just called SIRIM and they ask to forward the email from the courier and will further advice on how to proceed through email. sweat.gif

So just got my box and installed netflix and iflix. Just wondering, what else you guys use? What about local channels etc? Tried Astro on the go and it crashes sweat.gif
The unifi play tv app also doesn't work well with the box.

Looking for something to watch live TV etc to replace astro. Thanks!

im use it mostly for watch streaming movie from my own movie server and games

for astro-go, wat i did last time is install google keyboard and google chrome. after that u can open the apps, enter the login id, then can watch already.

unifi play apps also seem ok , no issue except it show on potrait instead of landscape. both astro-go and unifi tv. tried few orientation apps, didnt work. so i just ignore it since the potrait is on the menu, once streaming, it will show landscape.

Thanks for the reply! Did you replace the android TV launcher with some other launcher?

Can you link me to the unifi play apk that you're using? Might be that the one I'm using isn't suitable. How do you navigate the app btw? Using the remote seems unintuitive sweat.gif can't see where I'm pressing.

Just wondering if anyone is using any paid IPTV service? Can recommend any good ones? Thanks again guys biggrin.gif fairly new to this streaming box scene, but from what I see KODI addons not very stable and sometimes may work or not.

Looking for something reliable as the box for my parents sweat.gif
