Topic: Android box below P3k for Kodi - Christmas 2019 edition

[paolorenzo]

Would it be ok to use a USB hub for additional ports?

basta powered, it should be ok.

congrats on the mi box purchase, only gripe with the mi box is the lack of ethernet port as I prefer to hardwire all my boxes. wireless is relegated to mobile phone and laptops.

Mi Box 3 and Mi Box S (aka Mi Box 4) only has USB2, so kahit meron RJ45 adapter, hindi kaya ang gigabit speeds.  10/100 lang yata.  Double gripe.

Wala pa akong nakitang android box na gigabit speeds. Kaya naman daw ng 100M ethernet kahit na 4K streaming. Lamang lang yung 100M ethernet port.

Xiaomi boxes are slightly cheaper. Pareho lang naman ang features.

Mi Box S is v9.0 only, and doesn't have the physical LAN port.

How does it compare to this one?

Strong vs Meecool KM2, pretty much the same. Pick kung anu yung lower price.

pero kung for streaming purposes only mas bang for the buck si Mibox, kapag B1T1 siya nasa 1.7k nlng yung price. pero if you need USB and ethernet then lamang si Strong/KM2.

[frequenzy]

There is currently a B1T1 at Shopee for the Mibox at 3150pesos, so nasa 1.5k+ na lang each. For streaming purposes ok to.

As a media player, how does the Strong/MeCool fare with the likes of Zidoo?

In terms of performance benchmarks, lamang actually ang chipset ni Strong/Mecool (S905x2) vs Zidoo Z9s (RTD1296). See image below. Beelink GT1 mini =  Strong/Mecool KM2

Bakit biglang ayaw na mag connect ng Netflix sa evpad? Nag download ako ng latest version ang sabi di naman supported nun device.

[CeeV]

Kasali na kaya dyan sa comparison table na yan ang Roku streamer...looks nice ang features. Any oersonal review on it?

[fishda]

Are there any tv boxes that can run tidal and has coax/digital out?

[frequenzy]

if you can’t find modded apk then you probably need to contact evpad support. they should have the latest working copy of netflix.

Got these ordered too.  It's listed at ₱3,499 but don't forget to click on the shopee voucher field upon checkout to get the 10% discount and free shipping vouchers.

Nag download na lang ako sa evpad store nun Netflix app. So far okey na po siya.

[era]

Are you getting multi channel surround sound when playing the downloaded Netflix into evpad?

If anybody is looking for a 4k streaming box, the Strong Leap S1 is 2.25k at Shopee. Normal price is 3.5k.

[synchro_01]

The Strong Leap S1 is a winner in my book.  Very easy to use, lag free and has all the features one can wish for in a streamer.   All in one for me...IPTV, Netflix, Discovery Plus etc.

noob question, kaya ba nito makasagap ng local channels? planning to terminate na din sana skycable ...

noob question, kaya ba nito makasagap ng local channels? planning to terminate na din sana skycable ...

nope, it doesn't have a built-in tuner. it's main purpose is for streaming services (netflix etc..) and local media playback as well via usb/network

[CeeV]

As far as MiBox..kase yun kang meron ako...And I believe based on specs sheet its not equipped with a Digital Tuner...so answer is No...as a stand alone...But if your tv is fairly new they have built in Digital channel na and just scanned it and you will get all local channel..And the old analog will still be around for a couple more years pa..so you don't need a separate box just to get the analog and digital free channel. Now if you're into IPTV pwede.mo.install sa mga boxes na to ang APP to play it...you need a subscription though and  at least 25MBPS internet..Hope that helps..

[srkid]

Thanks bro frequenzy & Ceev.

[v1per1]

if I'm going to buy now, I'll consider Chromecast with Google TV. nasa 3.2k lang sa shopee and minsan may 10% voucher ka makukuha kaya less 3k na lang. Dolby Vision and Atmos na kasi ito, if you're going to buy a TV (non-android) and atmos soundbar in the near future, at least ready kana with this chromecast.
