Have been looking for another one of these and this is the cheapest I have seen them in a while.

Android TV not those cheap Android Tablet OS versions, so that it supports HD Netflix. (similar to the Android TV on Sony TVs)

Highlights
Android TV 6.0 Marshmallow

It runs on the latest Android TV 6.0 which is easy to use, supports voice controls and Google CastTM. Catch your favorite TV shows, play games, watch the news or switch to radio. Mi Box also recommends videos based on your personal Youtube and Google Play preferences!

Quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU

A high performance of Quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU can play a wide range of games.

Bluetooth voice remote control

Just speak into the remote control and Mi box will search for what you want.

Everything pops with HDR

HDR is quickly making its way to TV, first to set-top boxes with Mi Box. Watch videos in detail like never before with select HDR content. Witness scenes and characters come to life in vivid contrast, color, and clarity.

HDMi 2.0a

HDMI2.0a is a faster way to send video and audio output to your TV. With up to 18Gbps speeds, it significantly improves picture and sound quality, making Mi Box perfect for watching 4K Ultra HD and HDR video content.

DTS and Dolby surround sound

Dolby DTS certified, the Mi Box supports both Dolby Digital Plus and DTS multichannel HD audio encoding. The result is smoother, dynamic, immersive and more realistic stereo surround sound during ultra HD Blu-ray video playback.

Apps for the big screen

Everything looks better on the big screen, including shows from YouTube, Sling TV, Netflix, Vudu, FandangoNOW and more. Stream, play and be entertained for hours with access to hit shows, blockbusters, radio stations and viral videos.

Super smooth streaming, 60fps 4K decoding

A powerful video decoder is like having a high performance processor. Mi Box can handle up to 60 frames per second - that's double what other set-top boxes can do. It's an advantage you'll notice naturally when you watch NBA live or play a racing game.

    Good post but make sure to put in the usd price also

    • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 10:47

      Would it be any cheaper via Geekbuying to pay in USD?

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/01/2018 - 11:38

        Yes. $66.99 US is $84.61 AU based on the current exchange rate.

        Many OzBargainers have credit/debit cards without currency conversion fees. You can set them up in PayPal to use their own rate instead of PayPal's inflated rate to get a better price.

    No GB Lan if I'm not mistaken? Pass

    • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 10:32

      You can use USB LAN Adapter. Which is what I'm doing. I have bedrooms wired, so not wanting to use wireless

        Into a USB 2 port? Slow and add extra cost but yes is an option.

        Why not just grab a cheaper amlogic box with GB Lan and load libreelec.

          https://www.gearbest.com/network-cards/pp_449964.html these are currently $7.56 at Gearbest at moment. Not sure if they have any codes to make cheaper at moment. USB can handle 200MB which is fast enough.

          Netflix HD isnt supported on those cheap boxes

          This box is a better all in one solution. I have Libreelec running on an old NUC and it's just not as versatile. This box is a 4k Netflix player, can handle network playback, has chromecast and as it's Android plenty of apps. It's also a very stable OS not like the cheap Android players you'll find on eBay (XGODY etc)

          What exactly do you need gigabit transfer for? The storage space isn't exactly terabytes… And what video file types need gigabit speeds?? Are you watching 32K movies on your 32K HDR TV with Atmos?

          @D3m3ntia:

          Every smart TV with HDR already has a Netflix app, why would you need a box to run Netflix.

          4k movie files are 50GB+ , good luck streaming over wifi or a USB dongle.

          @NuclearWessels:

          Probably why this box is not for me. I have wiped the android OS and just booting libreelec on my amlogic box.

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 11:40

          @noise36: If you have anyting smaller then a 40" tv you dont get Most Smart TV functions. So this is a cheap solution for bedroom tvs

          Is this the adapter you're using. I'm interested in getting one for mine as WiFi here is a bit flaky.

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 13:48

          @start3r: yea and there is heaps of others that use it based on reviews. Pretty much any works

    cheapest I have seen them in a while.

    Apparently, Xiaomi has been doing a bit of retail price maintenance.
    i.e. threatening suppliers if they discount below a minimum retail price.

    Illegal in Australia, but Apple seems to get away with it.

      Yea not the $75 like it was in Dec unforunately

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/01/2018 - 10:42

      Chinese brands controlling how low shops can sell their products has been going on longer than I've been a member here.

      • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2018 - 10:44

        Don't the shops just buy it from xiaomi? So why does it matter? Or does xiaomi send it out.

          If the shops get caught, xiaomi will cut their supply.

          "premium" brands don't like to be discounted.

      Kodi is installed via the Google App Store, same as Plex etc

    • noise36 on 13/01/2018 - 11:35

      Many people are bypassing the android side of things and just loading libreelec, booting into that instead.

          TV apps are always crap not to mention both software(OS) and hardware in smart TVs are crap too.

          Boxes with android TV OS has much better experience and provides all in one solution.

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 19:19

          @claud0902: I have the Sony 65" and its all based on Android TV

        • claud0902 on 13/01/2018 - 19:29

          @asa79:

          Sure. But in this case you are limited only to the TVs with the Android TV OS. To me the purchase decision made for a TV should always be price and panel quality but not the irrelevant features like software OS.

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 19:47

          @claud0902: Yea I cant justify replacing my other tvs when these are under $100 and new TVs are alot more

      • The Hobo on 13/01/2018 - 11:42

        What's the advantage of doing that

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 16:28

          You will need a gyro remote or keyboard mouse as touchscreen isn’t there

  • D3m3ntia on 13/01/2018 - 11:15

    Great piece of hardware, unfortunately the year of beta testing Android 7 with no scheduled release when NVIDIA did it for the shield almost a year ago is stifling. I'll wait to see if it ever gets released before buying a second one for the upstairs tv

    "It runs on the latest Android TV 6.0 which is easy to use, "

    They need to change their marketing material :) latest? I guess it's the latest version of Android 6 available ..

    • dsj1188 on 13/01/2018 - 11:19

      Is Google playstore pre installed

      • D3m3ntia on 13/01/2018 - 11:22

        It's Android TV so it's the official Google version of the OS for TVs. The store is by default there, but it's the got apps compatible with the TV OS only. Side load is always an option for things which aren't officially on the such as Foxtel Go

  • mrlb on 13/01/2018 - 11:29

    Is this unit capable of casting 4k? I see it's capable of streaming 4k so I would assume its the same for casting. Was considering a Chromecast ultra 4k but for the same price this would be better

    • BarginGrabber on 13/01/2018 - 11:32
      +3

      Don't buy this box if your main use is 4k.

      It is a hell of a box if your aim is to stream 1080p 60fps or below but not 4k

      • bargaino on 13/01/2018 - 11:36

        Doesn't it depend on the source?
        e.g. Netflix stream is easier than a bluray rip.

      • mrlb on 13/01/2018 - 12:28

        Any suggestions of a better android 4k casting/streaming solution @bargaingrabber?

        • mrlb on 13/01/2018 - 12:36

          Hmmmm seems like NVIDIA tv shield $$$. For Netflix at least

        • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 14:08

          @mrlb: two for the price of one shield. Ok if you need the gaming performance but for just watching movies probably no benefit?

      • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 13:59

    My current set up at home is a HTPC running a pentium g4560 Windows 10 with Plex Media Server connected directly to the main viewing TV via HDMI. It will direct play up to 4k x265 10bit no problems but when I try to transcode to my CCU on the bedroom TV (crappy 1080p TV and average wifi - n 150mb) it buffers often. I've also read that even though the CCU states that it supports 4k x265 main10 that it might not be the case. Do you guys think that something like this might help my problem or is it more likely my CPU in the HTPC or my average wifi network?

    • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 20:18

      Thats a PC tho, This will play any android based sources, like HD Netflix, Plex, Kodi etc.

  • Tihkal on 13/01/2018 - 20:22

    Ah ok thanks. I might not have made it clear that I was specifically referring to playing downloaded 4k x265 10bit files from my Media server to a 1080p TV with CCU attached via 150mbs wifi n via plex. Im wondering replacing the CCU with this would help?

      We cant help you are illegally getting media files, only if you are using genuine sources like itunes or netflix
      PS. HEVC requires alot of GPU power to decode the media

    This is the ideal budget Netflix box. That's about it

    • asa79 on 13/01/2018 - 21:31

  • Tihkal on 13/01/2018 - 21:14

    You mean genuine sources like my blu-rays i'm encoding for my media collection? But yeah I'm aware HEVC is taxing on the cpu, I baught the dual core hyperthreaded g4560 specifically because it has x265 hardware decoding, but there's a good chance it might not be enough for 4k. Anyway thanks for the help!

        • asa79 on 14/01/2018 - 11:52

          No not Plex, Kodi, you do the all the processing local. My Sony Android TV running Kodi has no issues with 4k x265 10bit either.

          Plex does all the processing on the server side not the client, so that is where your issue is
