if you dont download a lot of games or store movie files
32gb is sufficient

TX3 is better.

Yep, many can do with 32GB just fine. However, up to your needs. Some games or even Kodi can grow quite large.

I chatted with LingLang, he said now TX3 Mini is on Android 9.0,
This isnt the ideal version of Android right?
Since it mentioned somewhere earlier that Android 7.0 is better. And works with Astro.

If you are referring to my first post on the first page, at the time of the posting last year - there were issues.
Currently I believe the issues are resolved albeit with mod apk or requiring the changing of webview for the latest version of AstoGool.

However I don't remember Tx3 Mini having Android 9. The last I remember is Android 8.
Are you mistaken with Tx3 S905X3?

If the seller can confirm there is such a Tx3 Mini Android 9 and it is compatible right out of the box, then all the better.

My mistake, it was TX3, not mini.

Hi, my TX3 mini-a got stuck at boot (the tx3 logo). I already reset to factory setting but now stuck at the loading screen (the loading screen after tx3 logo screen). So now my last option is to flash new firmware. I see your post and would like to ask some question.

So you are using the tx3 max firmware from https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-firmware...tx3-max-tv-box/ ?
Did you follow the same steps to flash from the website? Using usb burning flash tools?

Basic channel MY & SG

Key in these M3U playlist
1. MY https://fvtv2.mywire.org/my/tv.m3u
2. SG https://fvtv2.mywire.org/sg/tv.m3u

In one of these apps
1. TVIrl
2. PVRLive
3. Tivimate

Thanks to KLG.

No Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) in them though.

these M3U plaslist can add to Kodi?

I don't foresee any problem with the m3u playlist with Kodi. Some playlist are configured to work with Kodi specifically.
If you are asking if the EPG that comes with it will work in KODI, I highly doubt it. The epg that comes attached is not working due to an invalid secret code in the EPG link.
Any issues, you can forward your question in the Kodi thread next door,

It appears that now Tx3 Mini only left with 2GB ram option is it?
Both LingLang and Azim also don't have 4gb.

First and foremost, apologies if this thread has confused you. This thread actually started as a Tx3 Mini (S905W) Android 7 discussion.

Then it was used to address other Tanix boxes as they are all related with one common thing, AssterukGoll.

Along the way, there were Tx3 Max (S905W+Bluetooth) and Tx5(S905 X2), both no longer in mainstream market.

then came Tx6 (Allwinner) Android 9

then Tx3 Mini (s905W) was updated to Android 8 from Android 7

then came Tx3 (S905 X3) Android 9. {this Tx3 is a huge upgrade from Tx3 mini)

then lately came Tx6S (Allwinner) Android 10 {the S denotes SLIM, and from feedback the performance does not differ much to original Tx6)

Then back in December 2020, all major Tx3 mini product links in Shopee and Lazada were removed.

========================
Tx3 Mini only comes in these two versions ever since, the 1GB and 2GB RAM.

Tx3 (i.e.Tx3 S905X3) comes in 2GB and 4GB RAM

Apart from RAM variations, there is also the WIFI connectivity Variation as in 2.4GHz or 5 GHz Wifi.

A quick check on linglang shopee site yields these two.

Tx3 S905X3 comes in 2GB and 4GB RAM
you forgot bluetooth

So in summary, which is the best box now? is it Tx6, tx3 or tx3 mini?

There are a lot to consider and it cannot be justified which box is better or best as it depends on the suitability for the user.

In short, the more expensive is usually the better.

For comparison of these 3 boxes, here are the pros cons aspect:-
Tx3 - best performance, investment safeguard for future
TX6 - got external antenna, but box runs at high temperature. Prone to failure due to the high temperature usage.
Tx3mini - cheapest and good as entry level box to test and play around.

I will add MiboxS in the the frame as highly recommended for Android TV OS experience and satisfaction guaranteed albeit the price has risen this year due to halt in manufacturing. The Tanix boxes may not offer 100% satisfaction as settings, configuration and app installed differ from user to user.

I can add TiVo and Dynalink but for new users best to limit consideration to MiboxS if Google certified box is required for Netflix. The more choices, the more headache in choosing.

Got Hong Kong and Taiwan m3u playlist?

Sorry, I know none that is m3u playlist. From my experience even if the m3u playlist are available, they are not stable or not lasting. Maybe others have good Kodi add-ons.

Normally these 2 regions playlist are released in CJZB (.ts) format which is the format used in almost all of the Chinese based app. Along with the basic channels, there are also a lot of other channels included. So unlikely you can find such playlist in here.

search iptv-org in github

i have 3 tanixes - all >1 yr old now.

tx3mini - best value for money; if u do not need big memory for plenty apps; good for axtrogo, unifiplaytv; wifi weak.

tx3 s905x3 - big memory (may be underutilized); good for axtrogo, unifiplaytv; wifi weak.

tx5max - better PQ, smoother, great wifi; cannot do axtrogo.

My TX3 Mini stuck at Android Boot Animation. Is it still possible to revive it? I thought of reflashing the firmware but damn, the firmware so difficult to find. Most of the links online are broken.

Yup, that’s just a soft brick and you can still revive it by flashing the stock or perhaps a custom ROM.. There are some working download links here. See if it matches your device and flash away..
