I'm using this box to watch directv, for some reason it often crash. Not sure if it's because not enough memory or not

Bro.. TQ for your assistance, i will try to unroot the Box and update if any. BTW can share the mod APK

working great when connected to a sony smart tv. Can play astro go

Bought from which seller?

https://shopee.com.my/-Over-3000-channel-La...5313.1286518862

I saw this link with pre-installed.
Buyer comment it is work for both astrogo & unifitv

i got hold of a tx3 mini, played with it for a few hours.

for its price of rm111, it is a no brainer, best value for money for simple use.

amlogic s905w, 2+16gb, android 7.1.2, build dated 2018.12.29.

non-gigabit rj45, 2.4ghz only, works good even for 50ft.

comes with renamed kodi17.6.

has (simple) native video player app.

does 1080p, 4k, hdr, 10bit rips quite well.

can do dd, dd+, dts playback.

not smooth for full 1080p/2160p bdmv, struggles with ddtruehd, dtshdma audio.

has auto framerate switching feature but does not work very well.

can't do astrogo; closing root does not help.

other simple popular apps - rss, adrama, youtube, etc., no problem.

gets warm but not hot.

tiny in size - smaller than a burger, can fit into yr pocket.


i suppose tanix tx5 max with s905x2/android 8.1 would be a lot more powerful, more suitable for bigger tasks.

He's selling H model. Most of us here are using A model which have problem using Astro Go.

play tv unifi cannot work on this box

A model got problem? no wonder

any idea what diff A vs H?

i wud think if enough work done on it... root/unroot, hide, etc... it can work as reported by many... seller will charge more, i suppose.

still, there are boxes with original firmware ready to install astrogo/olaytv direct from playstore, will work just like that, no hassle.

astrogo and playtv needs same requirements

for any device, if one works, the other will; if one doesn't work the other will not.

I have used the modded apk. It can login and but most channel are not watchable.

I tried and installed Magisk to hide root and installed the official apk. The outcome is the same.

i can understand... seen that with other boxes too.

moded apks also dun work if the box firmware has something missing.

Precisely. I too have tried various firmware from original, Alice to ATV. All turned out to be the same. So when some user reported it's working I'm baffled. Model H is the explanation I guess.

u mean u tried diff firmwares on tx3 mini and failed to do astrogo?

original will not work... alice is tanix own firmware/UI with ATV skin but is not ATV.

if full ATV, it should work - seen in smart tv androidTV's (the sharp's and sony's), mibox s, shield.

I mean I have tried atvXperience firmware from https://www.atvxperience.com/

I got Astro On the Go working. I also got UnifiPlay TV working.
I bought my Tx3 Mini 2+16 from THIS SELLER [click here]
I have checked, the label on the back is Model Tx3 Mini-A

Apart from the label, I dunno how to differentiate Model A or H.
I certainly dunno what is the difference between A and H.

What channels are not watchable for you?

I used to be a full paying Astro subscriber, I have cancelled the account, but could still use the same account to watch free channels on Astro Go.

I could watch all the free available channels available, namely :-
- Astro Prima
- Astro Oasis
- Astro Awani
- Astro Arena
- GO Shop (Malay)
- TV Al-Hijrah

- Astro AEC
- Astro Xiao Tai yAng
- Astro Xi Yue (HD)
- CCTV4
- Go Shop (Chinese)

- Astro Tutor UPSR
- Astro Tutor PT3
- Astro Tutor SPM

- eGG Network

- Astro Vaanavil
- Astro Tara HD
- Astro Makkal TV

I believe I used to be able to access Astro Ria but it seems no longer available now.

As for Unifi PlayTV, I also used a mod Version, and I could watch all theses channels :-

Parlimen Malaysia
Salam HD
TV1
TV2
TV3
NTV7
8TV
TV9
TV AlHijrah HD
Laku Mall
NHK WORLD- JAPAN
Channel News Asia
Bloomberg TV
Luxe.TV HD

In fact, the official version (regardless tablet or mobile version) of Unify PlayTV could also work on my Tx3 box.
I downloaded the official version, watch for free for 1 month by registering a new account, and after that limited to just these few channels listed above.

The normal errors encountered in Unifi
Error 15401
Error 111

I asked MY SELLER [click here], and surprise he could tell me what they are and how to resolve it. I was in disbelieve, this seller in China can have such intricate knowledge of not only the box but also the apps Malaysian use. Dunno if he is a Malaysian who is posted there in Shenzen. Wrote Malay to him, and no reply... kekeke :-)

I told him, if I am ever going to buy another box, I will come looking for him.
Primarily because Electronic Components in China have different grades.
Same as fake imitation goods. Good quality AAA, and and others not so good.
If a seller doesn't know how to differentiate Good boxes from reputable manufacturers and unreliable boxes from unknown backyard company, then the losers will be the eventual buyers.

These boxes, better off buying from a specialist (be it local or overseas) who trades solely in this field.
My box been running daily for more than 4 months, at least 10 hours daily. It is still going strong, installing, uninstalling new apps.

My bro was impressed and thought why not mod the box into the his MPV to provide in-car entertainment as the car has DC-AC Converter installed.... I said these boxes are not designed to last long under the hot sun. He said it should be fine hidden under the car seat.... keke ke :-)

I have successfully solved the problem by flashing back to the old firmware. Astro Go finally playing good.

So it is not a matter of Hardware Model A or H. It is the correct firmware that is crucial?
Glad you fixed your problem.

Yes. The problem is the old interface is such a turnoff. You need to revert back to the original firmware back from 2 years ago.

I did a few flashing on other newer firmware and none of it is working. So to use Astro Go must flash back to the old firmware.

No idea about unifiplay as I'm not using.

what firmware version is this?
