ah, ok..! biggrin.gif
but really, 1+8gb leaves no room for anything else after a few simple apps.
2+16 wud be minimum for present use, imo.
3 or 4+32 is ideal to cater for a lot more apps and contingencies.
bigger storage bodes well for those wanting to use kodi quasar.

....

for potential buyers of Tanix:

Tanix TX3 Mini has this "superuser" close or open root option in android settings, which is something i do not see in other boxes.
Once root closed, Astrogo go modified and Unifi Playtv official will work.
i suppose it is built in the s905w soc - a simple and useful feature.

Tanix TX5 Max uses s905x2 chipset, doesn't have that superuser option.
BUT, can easily install SuperSU app from playstore, unroot, restart - that's all.
Then, Astrogo modified and Unifi Playtv official will work.
Done that, all good.

Bought the cheapest and what I think is the best for people who knows that they want and what they are doing with it. ha ha ha

As mentioned by others and myself, not really recommend to buy 1 GB RAM boxes. However if you know what you are doing, and knows its limitations - it is a cheap and safe bet.

Just also found out that the 1GB DDR3 Tx3 comes with 16GB high speed eMMC ROM. Always when I see 1GB, the next number is 8 GB. But not this one. Probably my reading too fast. Now I see properly, it is 16 GB eMMC ROM. The more the better, can store a lot of Drama mp4 files. Should have about 11GB ROM left to download and store lots of apks and mp4s

The 16 GB high speed ROM, Also helps in cases where some apps doesn't work well if its data files are stored in External micro SD card.
Albeit, 1GB boxes not recommended to install a lot of apps. Limit it down to less than 10 if possible. More so if apps are not from Google AppStore, and does not have RAM usage optimization. Don't complain, lag this, lag that, streaming video lag, crash this crash that, :-P

Bought this,[Click Here RM88 ONLY], as a community service and to see how far I can push the box and its limitations. Again, if first time buying box - really sincerely from deep down, get the 2GB RAM boxes. That is the bare absolute minimum to get a good experience playing with these Android Boxes. It is like paying for a Perodua and expect it to perform like a Mercedes, then go back complain and give bad rating to Perodua salesman biggrin.gif . If you want Ferrari experience instead, then Nvidia Shield is the best of the best.

Note:- According to experts, disabling Google Play services in 1GB box will give it the nitro booster power hahaha. Just kidding. As long as you know what you are doing and understands the 1GB box limitations, by all means go ahead.

Oh, also to take this opportunity to get the latest apks from the seller with the purchase above.

No need to hassle look for updates to my favorite apps online.
Almost all of my favorite streaming apps are not available from Google Play Store.

The Chinese, Malay and Tamil Based apks are hard to find.
Only the Western English apps are easily available online.

Also intend to use those old CRT TV and make it smart TV with this [Click Here RM88 ] 1GB +16GB ROM box.

I dread if the text wordings can be read or not on the old TV, but if my experience serve me well, the video playback should be no problem.

Next is to figure out if the box can output both NTSC and PAL.
Either way, most TV can autodetect, so should not be a problem

Already bought the RCA cable from the seller as well, and confirm by seller can output both 480cvbs or 576 cvbs. I think that is the composite(or compounds??) signal is those Yellow, Red, White cable.

yes, tx3 mini has av port, u can use RCA to do composite video, L, R audio with CRT's.


just a reminder to potential buyers of tx3mini... the wifi module is 2.4ghz only, OK for up to say 40ft w/o too many obstacles.

if u need it for >50ft, it won't work well; for that distance, tx5max with ext antenna does a much better job.

well, for rm88 or rm118, apa lagi mau? biggrin.gif

I don't know about your box. What I do know is the Tx3 I bought 5 months ago from the seller linglang, is still in tip top condition after daily usage of 8-10hours average.
Why I said so?
Cause i dont feel any lag in the box since day 1, and I didn't even do any factory reset.
Cause I stream for 5 continuous hours in a ceiling fan only room, and the box does not feel super hot when I touched the top or bottom.

From your description, it seems your box experiencing HDMI port failure due to multiple insertion and ejection as these HDMI ports is not designed to plugin and out multiple times. All hdmi port to a certain extent are the same, as i was told. Dunno if there are high grade female hdmi port, but for sure there are high quality high specs hdmi cable.

If you used AV port instead of hdmi in hotel rooms, then I can only say maybe suspect hard ware failure. Example if you take the box up to Genting hotels, and travel back and forth with the box in your luggage bag. Electronics don't like water condensation on its components.. Hehe. Even the highest grade electronics components won't last.
