I saw many youtube shows on setting up the Android TV.
One of the step, there is a pop up message: Do you have an Android Phone or tablet?
- Does this mean that If I do not have Android Phone or tablet, I am not able to use Android TV Box?
( btw I only have Apple Iphone and IPad )

tbh, don't be stingy on spending for streaming devices. I got my Amazon Fire TV Cube for only Rm350 during Black Friday sale last year. On Shopee retail price starts from Rm520

Depends on your usage

If you wanna stream from legit service like netflix, hulu you’ll need media player that supports drm (for hd support otherwise stuck with sd only) go for:

Amazon fire tv
Mibox (intl version)
Nvidia shield tv (newer model coming this month)
Apple tv (if you’re apple fan)

If you wanna just use for playback from hdd or ahem2 service can just go for any cheap china box.

I used it to turn on/off my tv/soundbar, increase/decrease soundbar volume. change my tv hdmi input number, search for movies, tv shows, or just asking random question to Alexa.

Yeah the Nvidia shield tv is a bit overkill. I was previously a mibox user and only upgraded because some of the games that my son enjoyed playing was laggy on the mibox.

The rm2xx mibox running Android TV should do fine for most use cases. I have a couple of friends using it, happily running YouTube, Netflix, Plex, Kodi etc. Not to mention being able to Google Cast from both Android and iOS devices.

Agreed that TVBox easy to setup.

Looking at your box, the specs are truly outdated for sure yet super expensive but was wondering if MCMC approved the apps install in it too? Or only the basic box is approved but apps were loaded after obtaining MCMC cert?

The price was rrp when it was launched, forgot to change.
I would say the box is mcmc approved. Don't know how mcmc will govern the apps but you can get netflix, youtube etc in the android tv playstore.
