    I must be doing something wrong… got the following when entering the code
    Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again

    • Pricebeat on 28/07/2017 - 15:08

      It’s targeted code

    • Fitzy777 on 28/07/2017 - 15:42

      Me too - does that mean we can't use it ?

        Only those who received this coupon in their email can use it. or try logging into your other accounts and go to my "my ebay summary" page

    • toasty on 28/07/2017 - 15:25

      To be fair, they jacked the price by 5c from $99.95 to exactly $100 so that people can use the targeted $20 off $100+ spend code without having to purchase another product to make it over $100. Seem reasonable to me.

        • XeKToReX on 28/07/2017 - 15:35
          +15

          Go buy it at $99.95 then..

          More like good customer service in this case. It's annoying having to find a cheap product to make the $100 spend required to use the code.

          Their price isn't bad, I paid just under $70AUD for my MI BOX 3 from LITB but had to wait 1.5 months for it to arrive. $10 extra to skip the wait will probably work for many people.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2017 - 15:52

    No AU POwersupply (adapter/ plug), I suppose?

    Also no ethernet port on this unit, correct?

    Does it take a memory card for additional storage?

    • garage sale on 28/07/2017 - 18:38

      No iView and on demand or freetv either ….use Google tv store so less apps to install……

      • Marrk on 28/07/2017 - 19:01
        +1

        You can apparently sideload Google Play apps, though you would probably have a better experience casting the apps from your mobile.

        • garage sale on 28/07/2017 - 21:36

          the idea is buy it and use it …….last thing I want is "dad how do I watch Iview" ….. quality is based on a previous experience, and that is go to the play store and load the app which is what I go on the A95x which is one of our other payers …. yes we also have the Mi3…… any extra effort is a step back.

        • TheOneWhoGotAway on 29/07/2017 - 11:27

          I've found that casting through my Xiaomi phone to mibox sometimes stutter, even skip instead of waiting to catch up, so the wifi is not perfect and the viewing experience is not as good imo.
          I've found it ok for showing images on the tv but thats it.

    • Marrk on 28/07/2017 - 18:59
      +1

      From what I have heard, the USB port can be used for additional storage or an Ethernet adapter.

  • mduncan2 on 28/07/2017 - 15:52

    I ordered an Odroid C2 last night as well, so it will be interesting to compare the two units side-by-side

    • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2017 - 15:53

      My last Odroid experience 18 months ago was a disaster. Still have the bits somewhere. Must have another look to see what they are up to.

    Can anyone comment on how good it is for plex? I have lg TV with netgear nas and use powerline av200 for network between router and TV and use xplay app and plex app for lg but it never works smoothly. I have wait for movie to load and then after 15-30min again have to wait for it to continue. Any suggestions on nas setup would also be great. Most of my movies are FHD around 3-8gb

    • XeKToReX on 28/07/2017 - 17:41

      Works well for plex, very little transcoding required 👍

    • crypt00 on 28/07/2017 - 17:53

      Get a propery wired ethernet connection to the tv cat6 at a minimum.

    • Bellpop on 28/07/2017 - 18:38

      Use one wirelessly for Plex. Natively plays pretty much everything. No buffering at all.

    • marko62 on 29/07/2017 - 07:15

      I received my Mi Box the other day and the first thing i did was install Plex. As XeKToReX & Bellpop said it works flawlessly over the WI-FI no buffering and plays my files with DTS audio output

    I don't mean to hijack this post but I was wondering if anyone had problems connecting their MI box to their wifi router. Mine doesn't seem to want to connect with the netgear router given by Telstra.

    • batrarobin on 28/07/2017 - 16:39

      Tried assigning static IP?

      • Kaboda on 28/07/2017 - 17:47

        On the device itself?

    • toasty on 28/07/2017 - 18:52

      Yeah, I had a problem with my Netgear router. The MI Box wasn't even seeing the network name (SSID). I went into the Netgear router admin interface to enter a new longer SSID, set it to Channel 1(P)+5(S) and set encryption to WPA2-PSK [AES].

      I still had to enter all the wireless details manually on the MI Box for it to work.

      Hope it helps.

      • Kaboda on 28/07/2017 - 22:38

        Thanks for that I'll give it a go tomorrow.

    Noob question, what is the good use of this Andiord TV?

      kodi, on demand apps, IPTV etc

    • Unrvl on 28/07/2017 - 16:19
      +2

      a comfortable way to run the common TV apps on your TV? it supports 4k, HDR, 60hz, dolby/dts, a decent cpu for smooth UI navigation. the main apps you'd want on your TV with a good controller, for $80 thats pretty good.

      • SnoozeAndLose on 28/07/2017 - 16:26

        Can i set mock location on tjis to watch area restricted stuff?

        • Deviner on 28/07/2017 - 18:19

          I doubt it seeing as that's in a developer menu on an android phone, which you won't be able to get to by conventional means on an Android TV box.

          Also, you'd need to use a GPS spoofer app alongside that, right? If so, you won't be able to natively install that app - you'd have to sideload it.

          Would be much, much easier just using a VPN or using SmartDNS on the device (I use Getflix/DNS for Netflix geo locking).

    Be prepared to wait longer than expected, going off past deals these guys like to sell more than what they have in stock.

    My xiaomi vacuum was marked sent on the 21st July, tracking shows item was picked up from seller on Wednesday 26th. Wont be home to receive my item as I expected it by Wednesday like the eBay listing said. Enjoy your negative feedback

      Seems very harsh if I'm reading it right. You expected it delivered on the 3rd business day, and will give negative feedback because it wasn't? I assume this is the normal shipping and that you didn't pay extra for express? The expected days on ebay is obviously a guideline at best.

      Anyway, I ordered the xiaomi box from gearbite last Friday and it arrived today, ie exactly 1 week. That's fine by me.

    Recently got a 431mb update which has greatly improved it. Still on 6.0.1 but the interface is smoother and Netflix and YouTube work as they should.

    Restored my faith in it

    • Pest85 on 29/07/2017 - 10:16

      Netflix resolution is only 480 on it, right?

      • giventofly on 29/07/2017 - 10:43

        No, it's an officially supported device so you can get 4k, although I'm only getting 1080p as I don't have a 4k TV

  • scottysunday on 28/07/2017 - 17:50

    Dumb question. Anyone have experience using emulators on these?

    • markb28 on 28/07/2017 - 23:29

      Yes, I have been running retrox on this which is a multi emulator frontend http://www.retrox.tv/

      Play games with an bluetooth 8bitdo controller.

      It's a bit underpowered to run recent games, struggles with N64 but runs SNES/Megadrive and MAME well (up to say Streetfighter Alpha). I've run the same thing on a Samsung S5 with MHL - it works better on the S5.

      I think the wifi/bluetooth performance is a bit underwhelming though have had a few pairing and connectivity issues.

      As others have said, there is very few apps for Aus, I use it mainly for Kodi/Perfect Player (IPTV service) and Youtube. It's not bad for a second tv however I find my Amazon fire stick more useful as I have it set up for UK catchup TV via Smart DNS.

      • Kaboda on 29/07/2017 - 12:06

        I can't get my 8bitdo nes pro to work. Doesn't seem to detect the Bluetooth on it.

        Which controller are you using?

        • markb28 on 29/07/2017 - 15:33

          Same one mate. Its a bit hit and miss. Ive had to reboot and many times before getting to work.

  • djsa on 28/07/2017 - 18:06

    Only thing that has stopped me is lack of catch up tv apps for android tv. Anyine know if apos are in the pipeline for all the major stations?

    Other thing is this box has been out for ages. Any chance a mi box 4 is on the hirizon?

  • LukeSmith on 28/07/2017 - 18:52

    Feedback on the unit (I got mine from GearBest):
    * very few apps available - notably no .au catchup apps
    * hdhomerun app is there for live tv, but the stream drops out every ~15m on WiFi, perfect with a USB Ethernet adaptor plugged in though
    * The remote is Bluetooth, and works great if its in range, but behaves erratically if its a bit far away, particularly for voice commands
    * It will take IR remote codes over HDMI ARC - but its slow and unreliable
    * home screen isn't customisable and is a random jumble of crap it thinks may interest me. its wrong.
    * performs well

    Feedback on BestForApple:
    * I ordered one of the xiaomi vacuum earlier in the week - they said they shipped it Wednesday. That's bullshit. All that happened Wednesday is they got a tracking number from australia post - the unit has not actually been seen by auspost yet.

    • damop on 30/07/2017 - 09:08

      Its got built in chromecast, so for catch up TV (SBS on demand, iview) i use the chromecast option from my phone, works perfectly.

      Home screen is customisable. You can go to Settings -> Apps, then go to the very end of the "System Apps" row, then disable XiamioLeanbackCustomizer. Reboot and its gone. For the single line of apps, hold your middle button down and you can rearrange.

      Unless you are Chinese get the Intl version. You cant convert.

  • AustriaBargain on 28/07/2017 - 21:06

    Is this the version of this thing to get? Does it let plug USB drive into it and browse folders of mkvs, and does it have chrome cast and cast audio to 3.5mm jack obly?

    • markb28 on 28/07/2017 - 23:34

      Yes it does have USB, can plug drives in and watch via VLC and other apps. Chrome cast is integrated and works well

      • supermario3 on 29/07/2017 - 09:26

        Do you know if it supports all portable hard drives? E.g 1tb, 2tb, 4tb? I know some tv boxes only support up to 2tb.

    • markb28 on 28/07/2017 - 23:32

      Yes but pay someone for it on a monthly basis. The free streams are notoriously unreliable and frequently getting shut down.

  • Seni0r El Cheapo on 28/07/2017 - 23:48

    Question: This supports 60 fps (60hz) - will it work fine with 100hz TV? I think it will scale down the performance.. just double checking

    • donnot on 29/07/2017 - 00:28

      Yep, won't scale down performance at all. Unlikely that the TV would accept signals of more than 60Hz anyway (some Sony's do 120@1080P), and FTA is capped at 24fps. The 100Hz involves 'tricks' done by the TV in order to make the 24/60/x Hz signal appear more smooth (by interpolation, faster backlight flickering etc…).

  • swimmingtoad on 29/07/2017 - 08:57

    I still don't understand why the AU stations don't have Android TV apps in the store to download.
    They are preloaded on Sony TVs so they have obviously developed them and they work well.

    • LukeSmith on 29/07/2017 - 11:57

      Great question… I expect that Sony paid for the port/alterations needed and get some exclusivity deal.

  • TheOneWhoGotAway on 29/07/2017 - 11:32

    I know this is ozBargain, but does anyone have any experience with streaming Chinese TV?
    I have a mibox 1 i think, and I've been following this guide
    https://mitvboxsg.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/xiaomi-tv-box-crac…

    and got PPTV and the likes. It's fine but half the things you stream like TV series of live TV mirror don't have adequate speed. So it's a bit of a lottery if your desired tv channel or show streams…

    I wonder with the mi box 3 any of that changes, or whats the best current way to stream Asia TV content.

  • cart on 01/08/2017 - 16:34

    Have been looking for one of these at a decent price.

  • marko62 on 13/08/2017 - 14:58

    While the $20 off may have finished they currently have a 10% off code which brings the price down to $89.95. After waiting a month and a half for one to be delivered from (light in the box) i was quiet happy to pay the $15 premium to replace the one i just gave my parents.
