My first foray into TV boxes. Planning to get a TX3 Mini. Any recommended local seller for TX3 Mini with Android 7?

this box is probably the best one u can start with.

it is cheap, has all the essential features and works fine for online streaming.

it is only when u r seeking the very advanced features that it is lacking... for that u need to spend 3, 5, 10, 20 times more.

My main objective is to run AOTG. Not for my own consumption but for my upcoming rental place. Will probably be getting a cheap sub RM1500 Philips 50” to go with it.

I’ve read practically the entire thread. The TX3 is just perfect cost wise. Just not clear whether I should get an Android 7 or an Android 8 TX3. Does that still matter?

TX3 Mini arrived.

- It's model Mini-A
- Android 8.1
- Has Close Root in settings
- Bluetooth working, tested with Logitech K380
- ethernet port seems not working, running on wifi now. I think it sees my 5Ghz wifi, will confirm later.
- UniFi PlayTV is working
- AOTG not tested yet, forgot my password Update: AOTG is working, including the HD ones.
- Youtube OK
- Netflix OK
- Kodi dunno how to use
- many other apps installed. Tested one, forgot name, which has local TV channels, etc...
- still a bit blur on how to the thing

kodi was a beast that roared until a couple of years ago.
it is a platform where u build the addons (addon is like an app).
due to copyright issues, court cases in europe/usa, few owners dare put their addons there anymore.
there are still some addons u can try but they usually come n go, live and die quick.
still, it has one of the best playback player feature - for playing back yr own saved videos on hdd.

Haven't really looked into it yet but installed a few addons/sources and saw Joker in there. Didn't try playing yet.

I got a cheap Philips 4K 50" TV and surprisingly the TV plays 2160p h265 mkvs from a thumbdrive with no problem.

Hi guys, I installed Unifi TV for tablet from play store...log in and try to play and got this playback error...

Does this mean I need to call 100 to inform them my TX3 MAC?

Previously I only log in Unifi TV from my phone; no other device.

So did you test the LAN speed or the 5GHz speed of your box ? What did you managed to achieve ?

QUOTE(Boldnut @ Nov 14 2019, 02:25 PM)
Ac wifi or N only?

Didn't check. Was in a hurry to get it all setup for my new place. AOTG working was all I cared about at that time. I plan to get another unit for my own use. Will test later.

I bought this https://shopee.com.my/Tanix+TX3+Mini+2-16+G...=539.37351873.7
at RM114.95

Seems like there are 2 TX3 items now from that seller. This one is slightly cheaper. https://shopee.com.my/Tanix-TX3-MINI-H-Amlo...2699.3806265289

Got mine yesterday morning - 20 November (9 days)
Also ordered 11.11
Bought at RM146 then, now selling for RM168.99

TX3 S905X3, Alice UX, Android 9
I meant the wireless PC keyboard since you suggested a wireless mouse.
*
Should be no problem. I tested TX3 Mini (not the X3) with Logitech mouse/keyb combo with dongle and also Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard.

Currently using one of those cheap RM20 mini keyboard/touchpad.

Anyone know where to get original tx3 mini power adapter?

Trying to buy from one seller at Shopee and he told me non original can be used temporarily only.

For long term, better to get the original one.
*
That's just bull. Any PSU of the correct power will do. You can get better quality ones than the original.

So bro, where to get quality one?

You got a sample? Or a link to buy online?

It is 5V 2A 5.5mm

No idea, I haven't bought a replacement PSU before. I usually just use the ones from old equipment that has died on me.

It says spdif at the port though. Maybe there's 3.5mm to spdif? I don't know. Not familiar with spdif anyway sweat.gif
But then I wouldn't trust the colour. Like the person above said, test one by one laugh.gif

It's possible. Older MacBooks headphone port is also an SPDIF port. Mini Toslink.
