any update on tx6 heating issues and aotg compatibility?

would like to get a tv box for my parents, currently torn between getting tx3 mini or tx6.
considering getting tx6 due to the ram and storage and the price difference is getting smaller. (tx3 2+16G RM110 / tx6 4+32G RM150)
any recommendation?

FYI
usage will be on a 1080p tv, so no need for 4k.
they like to watch astro AEC, so aotg compatibility is required. (i am personally using njoinow for free, is aotg the same?)
they also always watch astro HHD those hokkien taiwan drama.

some other questions
the tv box from the recommended shopee seller comes with any pre-installed apps?
I have read that tx3 mini support youtube playback at at max of 720p, can any user verify? (even on modded app like smart youtube tv?)
has anyone tried 1080p x265 decoding as well?

I was using njoinow on my phone and browser. I was using astrogo but when I registered a new free account earlier this year I keep getting redirected to njoinow. So I assumed free user can only use njoinow but not astro go.

But I just tried out that astrogo works on free user as well for now.

this is from my experience with njoinow.
earlier this year I registered a new account on astrogo to watch Game of Thrones. As mentioned earlier I keep getting redirected to njoinow, so I settled with njoinow. For GoT, I can purchase GoT passes for 30 days or 60 days. With this pass, I can watch HBO channel live, similar to the one encoder and I can also watch VOD (like HBO Go).

I went through my free account on astrogo app just now, there are some movies that you can buy like those on Astro Best, some series on 双星, Astro On Demand, and some in Malay/Tamil, not as many choices as the one you can buy on Astro decoder. I guess it depends on what Astro want the free user to be able to watch like how they introduces the GoT passes. (This is what I can see, please correct me if I am wrong)


btw I have also proceeded with TX3 mini from all the suggestions. since my parents are not tech savvy and I will not be always around to tinker with the box, I figured Astro is probably the best choice for them. Gonna go ask some friends and relatives for their id/pw

anyway thanks everyone for the suggestions

the GoT pass is RM25+tax for 30 days and RM50+tax for 60 days
All 4 users can enjoy the pass, I share it with my friends

Sure! will be back here when my tx3 mini arrive

Hi guys, got my tx3 mini and it is all setup. Been running astro go for a few days using android republica mod apk v8.2.4. However, the astro go app has released a banner mentioning new astro go coming soon since yesterday. and today they are forcing the update on the v8.2.4 version. v8.2.6 on my phone works just fine. any link for 8.2.6 modded apk? searched through the forum but found only 8.2.4

I have tried normal 8.2.6 apk but it detected my device as a rooted device even after I have close root using the built in superSU, rebooted multiple times, reinstall and clear app data. Then I turn towards 8.2.4 mod and it works without any hassle. However, there seems to be some instability issue with 8.2.4 as it crashes sometimes.

thanks for the info, went back to the vault only I realize there is a folder for localtvapk.

got it working with 8.2.6 mod. have anyone tried the beta version? dont know if update will be forced when it roll out.
