Joedobbs Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Tried to research but everyone says a different thing. I think Im gonna try the MI BOX S -- Does anyone have any advice, tips or recommends a different box? Thinking of buying on Lazada. I already have an IPTV service however it has started buffering quite a bit on my firestick, so I am wanting to try a different box. Strange thing is I have a different IPTV service that works quite well so I am thinking whether its them, which I don't think so because lots of other people use it fine. Or maybe my internet?? Do ISP throttle internet connections here? Anyway, is the MI BOX S any good, should it improve my experience or should I go for a different box? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 You need not buy a separate Android box, install Bluestacks on your PC,its an Android emulator,like having 2 systems on your PC, works very well,and APK are easy to install,just Google the APK you want,say Mobdro,go to their site ,download to Windows desktop scan it, open Bluestacks and just drag Mobdro into it,and it installs itself I have found Bluestacks plays better than a separate Android box. regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot you try it on another device you already have to see if buffer remains with the IPTV service? On my IPTV service I can run it on any Android device, smart phone, tablet. Also on any Windows PC using the equivalent Win64 app such as IPTV Smarters for Windows, VLC player, MyIPTV Player or Kodi for Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesgplayemail Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 These Android boxes are pure $h!t and people saying that they are good really know nothing. Android Mi Box S, no way to cast the computer screen on the TV screen with box and most videos, even played in Chrome browser, cannot be casted to box. Why nobody is saying the truth about how stupid and ridiculous are these boxes compared to a computer with HDMI cable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box connects directly to your internet/TV. I think they are the greatest thing ever. I have had mine for 5 years with a few updates for 300 b at a tech store. Get everything for free. HBO, Showtime, HBO go, all TV shows and recent movies, etc etc. Cannot understand people paying 3BB, True, etc 2000 b a month for less then the box offers. Very uninformed and crazy wasting time and money for these companies. Edited April 1, 2020 by bkk6060 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very crazy giving needless money to these companies. might be great if it's the maximum technology that you can use. So stupid that it's not even able to mirror you computer screen easily on the box. But you might not know, clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sujo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I used to connect my computer to the tv by hdmi. Didnt like it and also couldnt use the computer while it was used for the tv. Got a kodi box that has tanix. Great to use and has it all. Downloaded exodus redux for movies and tv shows. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I loaded some of the essentials on my computer mirror it on the road tethering from my phone. Sit in a taxi and watch movies. Do you have a Windows based system and HDMI cable? Maybe take it into a shop and get a lesson as you must be doing something wrong. PS: read Sujo second paragraph. The answer to tv freedom!

fishtank Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Mi Box is a great little box. Not as good as the Nvidia Shield but a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
