        Is that safe.. Is there a video of people doing it. Don't want to set my house on fire lol

        • id on 15/06/2017 - 08:40

          If u r askin then its not safe for u. Been doing it since the early 90's.

  • Puti on 09/06/2017 - 08:54

    Does anyone know if this device will play Stan, Presto, SBS on demand, and ABC on demand?

    • sav11 on 09/06/2017 - 17:37

      Kodi has add-ons for those. But if all you want is those Aus freeview apps then the Telstra TV box is best option, it has them all natively.

  • ldq on 09/06/2017 - 09:17

    Mixed impressions about mine - have had it for a few weeks now. Kodi and other apps crash frequently. Unable to retain a static IP - once you unplug the Ethernet adapter it goes back to DHCP. Breaks DTV signal - needs to be OFF to watch telly, this was not a problem with a Raspberry Pi I used before.
    You have to put up with a limited selection of apps and funny uncustomizable interface. The apps you install manually may not appear on the list of apps.
    Can't add another language to the keyboard even when the whole interface is in a LOTE. Stops recongnizing English voice search when the interface is in a LOTE.
    Love the remote, even though it is of limited use, a normal keyboard is a must if you have an extensive library to scrape.

      Interesting. I've had mine for over six months now. No dramas for me. I've been using XBMC since the original Xbox, so I'm pretty used to Kodi's quirks.

      I haven't had any issues with crashes, and mine gets used regularly by kids for Netflix, Kodi and YouTube. I just use wifi on mine without any issues.

      For the money, I haven't found anything that offers close to this functionality.

    • Deviner on 16/06/2017 - 17:55

      @ldq - 'Unable to retain a static IP' - you're removing ethernet adapter… that's not entirely unexpected behaviour for it to lose some IP settings.
      If you said you were just removing the ethernet CABLE, then yes, I would completely agree with you… but you're removing a piece of hardware effectively.
      I think your expectations here are the problem (Linux vs Android comparisons), rather than the box.

      Your DTV issue sounds isolated to you as this doesn't happen for me or seemingly anyone else.

      Your language issue is, again, a bit of a moot point.
      Considering 90% of Xiaomi's products are solely in Chinese, the fact this is in a fully fledged English language version is a huge plus.
      I don't believe this box was ever marketed outside of the likes of China and some English speaking countries like the US, so expecting other language support is again… over optimistic expectations.

      With regards using a keyboard… you're only experiencing this because you seem to be trying to use something other than English.
      If you use English, and voice recognition, searching is a breeze even without a full keyboard.

    Not sure why everyone is going on so much about Plex. Movian is a much better media player for Android and it's free.

  • Schikitar on 09/06/2017 - 09:35

    Thanks OP, bought one to replace my ageing WDTV that pops and crackles over HDMI and refuses to connect to my network shares from time to time! Wife will be pleased (I hope)!

  • sa168 on 09/06/2017 - 09:35

    Does it play 4K?

  • No Child Support on 09/06/2017 - 09:44

    Hi guys, is this a suitable replacement for Apple Tv 3? I predominately use ATV3 for Netflix, Plex (via plexconnect), and Twitch. Also, i have a jailbroken iOS device that i can airplay foxtel go onto which i don't want to lose. ATV4 would tick all the boxes except it costs too much

    • t3chshopper on 09/06/2017 - 09:58

      I use Netflix, YouTube and Kodi on mine. Plenty of people use Plex on this, but I don't have any experience with it. You can Chromecast to it, just like to a normal Chromecast device.

    • maxdba on 09/06/2017 - 10:41

      There is no worth to keep the ATV3 if you buy the mi box.

  • etherspin on 09/06/2017 - 09:52

    I grab a new android tv box for around 90 bucks each 18 months or so because of improvements in handling codecs and general stability but I wish this or others had large internal memory as standard even if its low speed as all my units have crashed once every couple of months and three times now I've had the data on a plugged in 128GB USB flash drive corrupted.

    I've seen some with 64GB or 128 but never heard of the brand before and don't see reviews on youtube for them either

    • t3chshopper on 09/06/2017 - 10:00

      There are heaps of reviews for the Mi box on YouTube. It's sold in Walmart in the USA. If you want a device with heaps of internal memory, buy one of those 500GB Nvidia Shields.

      If you use your media so much perhaps you should just consider building/buying a small media server. These devices really don't need much storage space because streaming is easier and more popular. I have one of these (Mi Box) and it is great.

  • Op54 on 09/06/2017 - 10:14

    Wow, and I thought I got mine cheap at just under $100 from Ali-express some months ago :-) nice find OP. I love the Mibox3 we own, way better as a media player than my old DuneHD base 3 player. Plays every media type I have tried, and the HD audio passthrough for the latest DTS and Doldy formats too.

  • messiah1095 on 09/06/2017 - 10:30
    +2

    Got mine a few weeks back. Netflix 4K works great on it, haven't tried Stan yet but they've just released an app for Android TV.

    Downside to this box is no auto resolution switching. But I'm using mine as a companion box to my NUC which can only do up to 1080p @ 60fps.

    Overall I'd say it's worth a buy, especially at this price. It will take 3-4 weeks to get to you though.

  • jusso22 on 09/06/2017 - 10:47

    Does anyone know if this will allow you to stream Australian free to air tv channels? We have an issue with aerial at home and wondering if this will allow us to bypass this issue rather than having to fork out to get it fixed

    I am looking at getting this to replace a WD TV Live. Also have a cheap box for Kodi but want something a little better.

    Silly question, I am wanting to pay by paypal, where do I insert the code? I was about to login to paypal but was concerned I was going to pay $80.xx.

    Thanks

      After you add the product to your shopping cart click Proceed to Checkout instead of Paypal Checkout. It'll let you choose shipping and apply the coupon.

          Banggood and gearbest are my examples. Items I've ordered from them came within 2 weeks. Why does lightinthebox take 1+ month?

          The tracking will update when it arrives in Australia. Why does anyone want to know whether it passes through some country?

        • Clear on 23/06/2017 - 19:26

          From my experience that's almost always the case. When your package passes the sorting centre the tracking is only going to work until it is dispatched to Australia or arrives in Australia. Actual tracking of where it is in Australia will not work.
