There was a lot to cover in this one! I did forget to mention you can download the Android TV app to control navigation with your phone.

16:57 Final Mi Box S Review
Tech With Brett what about nvidia? It also has google assistants
Get prime video from aptoide,works flawlessly in full hd. It is version 4.10.somethin.somethin. been using it since a month works flawlessly.
Gomandi Sanders ?
Does it have a hotspot which u can connect and cast your mobile screen without using internet/ mobile data like in smart TVs or is internet mandatory like Chromecast...
It's ok that you can't download Amazon Prime but you can still open a web Browser and Play Prime Videos from there
He muted every time he said 'ok google' so that our google assistants don't get triggered, thank you for that. 🙏
This was a very nice touch.
Isn't your OK. Google adapted to your own voice no??
Carlo Lippo that is only when you need it to message or call someone from your phone(person specific actions)
Like there was the time with two phones I managed to get Siri have a discussion with Alexa and they ended up beefing 😂😂
Got one recently, and it works great. Wifi connectivity was impressive. Its a great box for streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ , Peacock, and light game emulation (Ps1 and older)
Can you confirm that the MI box S does not support Prime video?
I ordered this and its coming in about a week so im really looking forward to this,seems like its worth it
When he said “up down left at right” he actually when right left down up , thought that was funny
does this support turn on turn off tv function now that updates have been rolled out?
Thanks for the detailed review. Do you think it can support external storage formatted in NTFS and large video files (8GB for example)
This review helped in making my decision toward the product. Thanks!
Did you buy it?
A great review, thanks. Can I ask how "clicky" (noisy) the remote is please?
can use the remote to control chromecast streaming (play, pause, volume up/down, fast forward/backward)?
Best Mi Box S review I've ever seen.
hey Tech with Brett
great vids. I always watch. Do u know why Hulu doesnt work on the MiBox anymore or is there a MiBox version of Hulu that will work?
Thanks for the comprehensive review, think I will invest in one of these!
Very informative, yet to the point, illustration. Thanks, Dude.
Just ordered one and arrived last 2 days ago :) Worth it!
I have an LG LED TV, can I add this MI remote as a remote that control the TV too?? open/close/vol+- and so..
You can if you have Bluetooth you can connect your remote
I had google tv box but Google stopped supporting it, I loved it. 👍 google needs to make chromecast box .
That would be awesome!
Pardon my ignorance but isn't that what this is?
I believe Paul is referring to an official Google Box with Android TV. This is certainly the next best thing.
@@TechWithBrett Well duh. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. We miss you Nexus line (RIP).
I enjoy so much my shield tv.
Great Reviews
Which are the 5.1 surround audio formats compatible with this unit via HDMI out while USB movie playback ?
Does it support EAC3-5.1 , DTS 5.1 ,Dolby Digital 5.1 which are commonly seen in torrent downloaded movie clips ?
Nice review, i received it today and curious to know how to close background running apps?
Excellent video. Thank you also for muting the "Hey Google" command. Good presentation and good examples.
So.. do i need to buu chromecast and mix box for android tv to cast on my tv?
quick question can you play avi, mp4 and mkv video's from a usb stick through Mibox s... i would like to use the device at my lake house to watch movies from a usb stick
Nice review ! 🤩
I just would like to ask, why is that I can't see an option to switch my mi box s to 4k?
Actually, i have an 1080p tv, i wonder if that could hamper the capability, that it really requires and detects if i have a 4k tv?
Thanks for introducing Mi Box S
But i got a question
Which one is better
Zidoo H6 Pro or Xiaomi Mi Box S?
Coz im looking forward to both of these boxes and i want to pick one up soon from these 2 but seems like its a difficult decision to choose..so kindly help.
Nice instruction video as always. I have my chromecast, a google full size and mini. For right now I think i am doing OK. But i will pass this around to my friends, you never know. Thanks for the video, Brett. You always rock.
Hi Brett. I have been looking for a Chromecast Audio alternative since it has been discontinued. Can you use the Mi Box S as a replacement for Chromecast Audio?
If you play a downloaded serie from usb stick, does the mibox remembers where u left of? (Example. 12min53sec in episode 2, will it play from there on, or restart episode 2?) and does it auto play next episode?
Thanks
I have two of these, the 3 and the s. I love the Chromecast ability and that Google Assistant is not always on (as far as I can tell haha). Compared to x96 based boxes it is much better. For the price you may as well get one of these rather than an actual Chromecast. I use a ugreen Ethernet adapter which makes it stream perfectly always
Mullah Hullah hows the mi box s ??
I have a 1080p tv so if I equip the Mi box s it would be 1080p right ???, hows the performance
Thanks
Brett, i have mi 4c smart tv. Ui is exactly the same. I used the usb device storage you showed, to expand tv storage. Great tip. Can you please make a video on must have apps for android tv?
Great review Brett! The history lesson was informative. Hey, I was wondering if the MiBox can be included in multi-room speaker group?
Good question and sadly no. The Android TV boxes can't but a Chromecast can. Thanks for bringing it up.
Thanks for asking and replying, that makes the Mi Box a definite no go for me. Adding chromecast into speaker groups allows integration of wired surround sound systems with wireless smart speakers around the home, its a great solution.
Hey Bret, nice video
Do you know if some day Google will update AndroidTV to be included in a speaker group?
Thanks
Also, what kind of dongle do I need for the keyboard and mouse or should I just buy an Android keyboard?
Can you get Filelinked at google store, then download apps. Similar to a firestick? How much space is available? Does it support a browser?
Hello does anyone knows if I can get 5.1 dolby digital (or DTS ) sound out from the Xiaomi mi box S ? Thank you
Thanks for interesting presentation. Is it possible to find and play media stored on my QNAP device (NAS) from Mi Box S? I'm looking for the device which will be my home media device to read my media from QNAP (movies, pictures, music) and all these features you presented in this film
Perfect ! I remove usb adapter of wireless keyboard, and reboot box. It works ! Thanks !
I have a question. Does this support google photos? Can I ask my google home mini to show me my photos on the mi box s?
Hi! Can I cast something from my phone when the Mi Box is turned off? Or If I say to my Google home mini: "Hey Google, play Friends on Netflix" will it turn on the Mi Box and start playing? Because I read somewhere that the cast function isn't available when the Mi Box is turned off, and the Mi Box doesn't show up as a casting device on your phone.
Is it possible to use the full 21:9 resolution wothlout black bars with the mix box?
does it need to always on the tv in connecting spotify? or you could just stream spotify from phone directly to mi box s?
I just bought Mi Box S and try to install the filelinked app, but it seems now the Mi Box S is blocking filelinked app to be installed. Anyone have installed recently?
I like the Android tv history lesson. Chromecast support is a bonus. No Amazon with any Google service (no Amazon music on the Google Home).
Excellent review. Just ordered mine from eBay, since the SlickDeals $45 special at WalMart is over. Oddly, literally seconds after placing order, Google emailed an offer for a free mini Home Assistant (choice of four colors), a $49 value. Bizarre timing... coincidence??
FYI, got the Xiaomi Box S based on positive reviews like yours, but only after trying like mad to get my Chromebook to "play nice" with a Roku stick. (Yes, RUclips and -- they tell me, mine doesn't... -- NetFlix have built-in "Miracast" casting features, but Chrome OS and other apps, including Chrome Browser, DO NOT ... they cast via the Chromecast API instead. All this competition and lack of standardization is annoying!)
Gonna be a fun toy, which I hope doesn't peter out prematurely like the Logitech Revue did. I'm eager to try out any new interconnectivity that the Box S may offer: IFTTT integration? Media Folder access via network? PlayCloud, Sundance Now, and other more obscure 'channels'?
The Mi Box S that i have purchased has prime video and even remote has dedicated button along with netflix ...
They should have added more RAM , Asphalt 8 is laggy if played .. rest is fine .. pretty useful device with high quality audio video
Can i launch youtube tv with voice(google home) and then use the remote after to browse the youtube tv ui or just for ff /rw play pause?
Does it have some kind of auto standby feature when it turns itself off after some time? Is there some bugs like a need to reboot it every once in a while while apps get frozen or something?
Should I buy this and a Samsung 32 inch tv or a Smart 32 inch TV-- where I'm from the cost is pretty much the same. What would you recommend?
Please i need an advice /// Mi box S or H96 max pro ?? Just want it to open iptv service on it! Thanks
Does this able to play 4k 50-60mb bitrate movies from usb hdd without problem?
Will it play your old dvds from a mkv-file on a usb harddrive? Using kodi or vlc?
Does it have free TV channels or only on demand subscriptions?
Your video is indeed awesome, really better than others.
Brett - if i have a Nest Hello...can i tell my Nest Mini to show me the front door and it will show me the view from my Nest Hello on the tv using the Mi Box as the conduit to do so? Is that correct? Thanks and thanks for the thorough videos that you make.
hi someone can tell me how to search the sony streaming i cant find thank you
Hey, with the help of this Mi Box will I be able to browse the content of my hard disk connected to my wifi?
And Any plans company launching new model in 2020?
Amazon Prime Video can be downloaded, side loaded, I have it my Mi Box S and the icon is not the same but it works awesome, the same.
Hi! I have an Android TV, and its Android version is only 4.0(Kitkat). When I play videos in Netflix and in RUclips, the video jitters every now and then even if I have a stable internet.
My question is, will that issue be fixed if I use Mi Box S?
Hey brett. Please let me know if this device can play IVMS video monitoring software of hikvision on tv. No one is talking about detailed in depth review of what all apps can you download into this device from playstore. Is this device fully capable of using every app on playstore just like you use on your smart phone.
I love your videos on that Mi box. How much storage is there?
can we get some custom roms on this thing?
they need to chuck the s905L for the S912 or at least the all winner H6 penta core cpu. to get some gaming on this
Hi there. Can I download an application from play store like chrome, explorer for surfing on the net?
Is it possible to watch set of box channel with this android box or we should connect set of box separately...
Hey pal, how do we remap the Live button? Currently it does nothing. I don't wish to be forced to certain apps, but rather link it to ANY app. Can you assist?
Which has been the best and least glitchy android tv box in your experience, I am looking for one that's not glitchy like that mi s and that I can download my third party movie apps
hi, can't cast from google mini to mibox s. after command home mini say that some going wrong
Does the Mi Box S:
1. Send out AC3 DD 5.1 to tv ? Or only stereo ?
2. support media-feed from a NAS ? I have a Synology DS418play (not using Plex, rather standard synology apps: VideoStation, Media Server & RadioStation )
3. transcode real time to at least to Full HD (1920x1080) ?
HI Brett, is it possible to turn on the tv with the Mi Box S as the chromecast? i want to include it in a rutine. Thanks!
I'd love to know this too
I have been having an Android TV box for 4 years, TaNix TX3 MAX, it works well and I love it.
Does anyone know of a fix for using a google assistant voice command to control youtube on the Mi Box? The voice control works for Netflix but youtube gives an error. Using the mic on the remote works great. Thanks.
nice review! planning to order it but just a quick question: can we connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and download browsers like firefox, chrome and opera for android?
Yes you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard. There is a way to download browsers but you need to side load them and they are usually not formatted for Android TV.
Puffin browser is optimized for Android TV, so no need to sideload that browser.
I'n this box only cpu rendering is the option to push the cpu to the maximum?
Is the DS video app from synology available on the mi box?
What are the best hdr settings? HDR to SDR? SDR to HDR? I have a 4k oled
hi thank you for sharing this video. I am wondering if google home can turn Mi Box on ?
Hello, I have such a box and don't know what to do with the USB connection. Can I play my own MP# or own video's?Thank you.
Hi, can I install the hik-connect app (.apk) via the usb port and run it on the box ?
Actually, I want to see my cameras system on a TV in my office.
(I use hikvisiom NVR and cameras)
Thanks in advance for any reply !
I see there is an audio out 3.5mm , can that be used as a digital audio signal to my amplifier and how? I am using this for my projector
will it work with a usb dock to add ethernet, sd card reader, etc?
Saying Nexus player wasn't able to pick up to the latest apps is an understatement, the last software update left it unusable, all apps start crashing while playing video and the only way to fix it for a while is to manually restart the device, and of course now there is no more support for it so it became garbage.
can i control the box through my google home mini? Or do i need to go to hdmi channel and use remote?
Can I use it to just make my tv support more video extention types of files? I'm not interested in casting anything
I have comcast/Xifinity can you add the Xifinity streaming app?
hi Brett, can I used Mi Box s to turn on and off TV using Google Assistant?
can you browse sites on google chrome with it and can it play videos uploaded on the website?
Can it play content from a connected external WD HD?
I think I’m going to have to pickup one of these Mi Boxes !
You totally should. They’re amazing.
try compare mi box S with better spec Tivo Stream 4K. in my country, they price the same, I took Tivo
@@firdauszainudin7118 is a 6
Hi Brett, Can I use the Mi Box S on a Non-Smart TV and convert the TV same like an Android TV
Hey brett !! Wich device should i buy between XIAOMI BOX S and GOOGLE CHROMECAST 3 to use with my Google home mini to use voice commands frequently with TV such as turn on TV or off for example.
by the way keep up the good work I love your videos it does help so much!!
Much love from BELGIUM
1. Can i stream x265 video directly from Mega cloud using Mega android app?

Hi, do we able to use google chrome with this box?
i have the mecool km3 box can you change the home screen i want to put bbc i player on it if i can how do i do it ?
Hey, with the help of this Mi Box will I be able to browse the content of my hard disk connected to my wifi?
You should have more subscribers pal! excellent video thank you.
Hello!
I just bought a Mi Box S and I'm wondering if it is worth buying a WiFi antenna to plug into the USB port?
The signal is kinda crappy!
Thanks :)
As first I didn't see the value of an android TV box, but that is changed. I have now a TV with android TV on it and I love it. It has chromecast build in, but I mainly use the apps on the TV.
I can now use apps that don't support chromecast and the once that do, run better on the TV.
I installed a few apk's and even that works great.
Now I am looking ad the mi box s for my bedroom tv. I don't need the nvidia shielt power and I don't want non licensed TV boxes.
I have primevideo, but I think that it came after you made the video.
I have a Bluetooth and a ir remote. Both cams with the TV and the Bluetooth remote is nice. Don't need to sim it ad the TV.
Google home is build in, but it is limited. I don't know if this is because of my TV, but I have a home mini, so no problem.
I can't control my android tv with my Google home. But I need to look ad that.
Does Xiaomi Mi Box S works to Turn On/Off the TV like a Chromecast 3 with google assistant ? ( I have a Samsung Smart TV with HDMI - CEC enabled)
Support drm L1 with HDCP 2.2 or above?
I have a projector and a 5.1 speaker system connected to an old av receiver (no Bluetooth) and will use the mi box to upgrade the experience. But there are some times I don't want to turn on the projector, I only want to listen to music. Does anyone know if the mi box will be able to do this function similar to having a Bluetooth dongle? Greetings!
Hi bro, Amazon fire stick 4k vs Mi 4k box. Which one is best?
Will Skype and other video call apps with logitech work on mi box s
Do you have to pay a monthly fee? If there is how much?
