Recently purchased t6, dissapointed that I cant watch 1080p netflix/4k. Any recommendation for better box ?

Netflix 1080p/4k require genuine Google DRM license (Widevine L1) to use.
Hence, you need a branded Android TV box.
My suggestion is Nvidia Shield and MiBox S

With CoreELEC one can get 1080p resolution irrespective of whether you have DRM L1, but the price to pay is that it is based on software decoding and hence better CPU.

So far Beelink mini 2 S905x3 has been proven is capable of doing it. But of course high CPU ( S922X ) can also do it.

For 4K, yeah definitely needs DRM L1 and Netflix ESN certification. So an android box with Hardware DRM L1, can spoof the ESN number and achieve 4k.

t6 is 3 years old... purchased recently? or u mean tx6?

for netflix hd/4k, easiest and cheapest is mibox s but it cannot do unifiplaytv, astrogo.

I meant tanix t6

Tanix has no t6, only tx6.

Yes, like most, cannot do netflix hd4k.

FireTV CUBE II should be the ideal box to play Netflix Disney+ Prime Hulu all that in 4k yet astro and PLAYTV.

Better than Mibox and cheaper than Nvidia Shield Pro.

Go for amazon fire tv cube 2nd gen.. can do netflix HD@4K, native support for Amazon Prime.. all premium streaming apps are available DAZN, NBC sports, Hulu, Disney+.. even AppleTV is available for Fire TV, which is not available on Google environment..

Can I know how are u connected, wired or wifi? Is wifi better then wired on this box? I would prefer wired but the adapter that comes with this box only 10/100MB so it's a setback for me. Do let me know ya if the wifi is better compared to wired.

Wi-Fi Connectivity: Dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi (MIMO) for faster streaming and fewer dropped connections than standard Wi-Fi. Supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi networks.

Maybe you only subscribe to the basic Netflix package which can only play 576p quality. You need standard package to play 1080p and premium package to play 4K. Its not your T6 problem

Just buy this and donate your mibox and tx3...

TX6 does NOT support 1080p or 4K Netflix, even if you’re subscribed to either one. It is just the limitation of the box itself.

Nvidia shield is the way bro

List of android tv boxes that are Google/Netflix certified:

Netflix cert box will have NETFLIX icon besides the device inside the website.

Mi Box S la

i have smart tv, so dont need box whatsoever. less clutter for me

An answer to a question that nobody asks

best way is to spend more for nvidia shield. all ur headache solved.
