Depend on what you plan to do with it. If just simple streaming with no netflix, that TX3 mini which cost less than RM150 also can. If you want 4k with netflix support, get what other reply told you.

Pirate movie (stream)? Netflix? 4k needed or not? Myself I'm using Amazon Firestick. |

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 ) |

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.

QUOTE(StevenL @ Oct 19 2019, 10:58 PM) 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. |

Looking at your box, the specs are truly outdated for sure yet super expensive but was wondering if MCMC approved the apps install in it too?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? |
