Do you have to login to Netflix? Or is it already logged in for you? Also, do I have to get an IPTV subscription and download an app on the box to stream live sports?
thanks again for the awesome review and superb charts!! quick noob question, i have an old gtking its nice but it cannot handle hdr10/dolby vision so i'm looking for a cheap upgrade, as my understanding from your videos, this xiaomi can handle/decode hdr10 eventhough the tv is not? but for dolby vision the tv needs to supported it? does dolby vision need tv that can suppport it or there is a player box than can handle it eventhough my tv is not ?
Hi all, I picked up this box because I was looking for something with a little more power and storage than the Onn 4k streaming box. I noticed the colors were not quite as crisp and clear on this box as the Onn box. I used images from my Emby server to compare the video, with both devices attached to the same tv. What I noticed as I flipped back and forth between the two boxes is that my tv displays the video output when it first connects. The Onn box was displaying in HDR10 but this box was only displaying is Dolby 1080p. Also, I have a certified HDMI 2.1 ultra cable on the Xiaomi box and only a HDMI 2.0 fast cable on the Onn box. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hey. I got the t95z plus, which i regret due to it freezes, and the best apps as disney plus, netflix, plutotv, and many other apps are not compatible on the device. Only youtube works on it! Its useless. So i made some research and found out that it might be because its not play protect certified! The research also lead me to get educated in that non branded devices are scams, and possible maleware! I kept researching and learned also that people use kodi to make the t95z plus work with netflix, pluto tv etc. And that people get nvidia shield in order to make the system smoother, and safer. But im not expert in using kodi, and im tired of making it so complicated. Now im thinking of getting tye xiaomi... fo you know if its pæay protect certified, and is netflix, disney plus, and pluto tv compatible on the device?
does new mi box s build in with TV tuner feature to scan local tv stations ? Xiaomi smart google tv have that feature.. so can watch local tv channels without need to switching around the tv input AV
I own two Chromecasts but they've now been rendered useless because our internet provider telenet doesn't provide AP isolation on the modem. My old provider, Vodafone, allowed me to disable guest.mode Via the app but Telenet just told me to get lost. I was wondering if you had any idea if this device has similar issues? Do you happen to have a modem/router that has guest mode/AP isolation enabled? Thank you ❤
Love to appreciate your hardwork😊 The sense of explanation u have is amazing. Can u tell which should I go with Hako pro or mi s 2 gen Please respond 🙏🙏 If looking for overall performance If looking for gaming
@ChigzTech after watching your review, I purchased the Mi TV box 2nd generation. It's working perfectly and I'm still exploring. But, the UI is different. I am able to see only 3 tabs on top Thank you very much for the detailed review.
It is a good box and the price is what makes it one of the best streaming boxes available now. I had gen1 before and I feel gen2 is much better but still there is Xiaomi need to work on some software fixes. The ethernet should have been a must in this release I don't know why they are insisting not to encloud.
@@muchomalo100 no mali g31 and ddr3 ram..this spec kind of obselate and you will not get any perfomance upgrade just wait 1-2 years and there will be better speced boxes in market...
The real benefit of getting the Mi Box is that they release constant system updates OTA. I put a Mi Box 3 at my gran's home a few years ago and it still gets updates.
I have a Xiomi phone. Their" updates" make my phone worse. When I bought it I had the option to play youtube videos with the scree turned off. Software update, option now gone. Pure cancer
If you no need Google assistant and usb fire 4k stick is better becouse have auto play sdr and hdr content in proper format. Xiaomi put all on hdr so sdr content look very bad on hdr bad colours etc. You can change manually for 8bit when play sdr but you loose your time. It shoud be auto mode like auto refresh mode etc. It's critical issue and need be update.
I used Xaomi MI Box. It stop working after six months. I went to shopkeeper and then Xiaomi service centre where they denied to do any thing saying their system not showing it in warranty. This device is of short life with no after sales service.
Hi. I recently upgraded my gen1 to gen2 but i have few annoying problems. 1. My usb hub isn't getting recognized on gen2. Have to plug the flash drive directly. 2. Bluetooth volume is still low. I thought the 5.0bt upgrade will solve it but it didnt. I used a plug in bt 5.0 adapter on my gen1 to get high volume. Looks like i have to do the same on gen2 too. Any help?
So I have a question. I play D&D on the tv and I use software to visualise maps. I currently stream them with steam link and I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard plugged into my TV. However my samsung tv is ending steam link support so I need a new way. Chromecast doesn't work because it won't pick up the bluetooth mouse and keyboard through the tv and there's no USB port on chromecast so I can't plug the dongle in there. Will wireless keyboard and mouse work when I plug them in this box? Also, is there steam link support on the box? If you could answer these 2 questions for me that would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it works. I tested 30gb 4k uhd hdr10 with Dolby atmos. Works good on my external ssd and pendrive. But it's sad why no use usb 3.0. Will be faster loads for sure.
I have the Box S 1gn and the Google 4K. If I'm honest, then I prefer the Xiaomi. Both devices get updates. My 4K Google remote does sometime strange. It glitch now and then. Not only I have this problem a friend of mine had this also. For the rest also a fine device.
Now chromecast is better becouse for sdr contend xiaomi need update becouse fore hdr always on output by default. It can be changed manual only. It sucks if you miracast, watch video or photos from usb drive or just play cartoons.
thanks for review as always... i don't see any reason to upgrade since i don't see any hardware changes here. who still builds a device with DDR3 RAM in this 2023? come #XIAOMI, you guys can do better. we were all expecting something way better here than this... the NVIDIA SHIELD is the standard here. for 3-5years now, it still comfortably sits up there with it's predecessor and it's a shame... and it's like, android boxes are not even trying to overtake it.
@@ChigzTech after watching your review, I purchased the Mi TV box 2nd generation. It's working perfectly and I'm still exploring. I have one question here. How do I change the region after initial setup done ? Thank you very much for the detailed review.
My TV is a SONY bravia w800c 43" full HD android tv and I have a soundbar JBL 9.1 atmos. My TV didn't support Atmos but if I connect Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen) 4K Ultra Set-Top Box am I able to get Atmos sound effects??
You can. Connect hdmi out (from xiaomi box) to hdmi input on your soundbar. Next step connect your soundbar hdmi out (arc) to hdmi input on your tv (arc). On your xiaomi box go to setting audio and choose passthrough.
Xiaomi mi box s4k 2nd gen software differences? Hello, I bought xiaomi mi box s4k 2nd generation. When I bought the device, it did not install any software updates. And the security update date appears to be January 5, 2023. Some people with the same device also show it as September. Is this a problem? Could you please check what the situation is?
I bought this recently and really like it.I added a $15 usb hub for extra storage if needed and gig ethernet. Don't care about playing games. I think it's a good price for what it has and certified for Netflix etc. Why buy a uncertified android tv box ? These are much better. Good box Xiaomi!
My search for a perfect Android digital box ended the moment I landed this beautiful thing a few days ago. Flawlessness is an understatement! Just wow!
Yes but you need a pretty fast wifi connection or it will take too long and its would be quite a technical process. In the long run, a manual wired transfer would be more productive.
Hi,, I got the same box, now suddenly, my internet doesn't show up on my box.. It doesn't show up, so I can connect to my internet,, what can I do please...
Yesterday I posted a comment about some mistakes in the review. These comments were public for several hours, but then were hidden by the channel owner (Chigz) without any response. I'll say it again. The 2nd Gen uses the S905X4 SoC and uses DDR4 ram. Hopefully this comment will not be hidden also. To hide this information is a disservice to viewers that rely on these reviews for accurate information.
Do you have any proof that this is the S905X4. If you do please share, it would be a BIG help. Prior to the review I searched everywhere and could not find this info. I also tried running some system info apps and nothing reported back S905X4. Also the performance is not on par with the S905X4. More like the S905 Y4. Could even be S905X3, S905Y3, or S905D3 all of these use the Cortex A55 with MALI G31. Same with the RAM could not find this info. But regardless, 2GB RAM is too less be it DDR3 or DDR4. I can literally feel the lag when closing and opening apps. I removed your original comment as I did not like your tone. I treat all my viewers with respect and expect the same.
The androidtv guide, which is usually very accurate, lists it as having the X4. The Y4 is a35, so it is probably not that. It is also probably not the X3, Y3, or D3, because none of those have native hardware AV1 support in the SoC, while the X4 does. I don't dispute that it is laggy. I agree that the lag has a lot to do with the google tv launcher. I installed an alternative launcher and disabled the google tv launcher, so maybe I don't notice the lag as much anymore.
After digging around, i have found more info on this box and AndroidTV Guide is correct, this box does have the S905X4, I have updated the charts. Appreciate the help.
Would you say it's worthwhile getting the MiBox 4k 2nd Gen? I have the Mibox 4K 1st Gen but it has some weird issues like when I watch certain movies on Netflix, the audio will be very soft for some movies & series but then its fine for other movies. There is also a delay in the audio sometimes. I have a Samsung QN85a TV. I will buy the 2nd Gen Mibox if I know that I won't experience the same issues. Do you have any of these issues with your 2nd Gen Mibox?
i dont know whats the problem of mine i have this exact model and try to subscribe to disney+ 4k plan but i can only get 720p resolution but on my android phone i can get 4k playback
Finally someone showed their screen with sports streaming. None of the resellers in my country mentions sports. Good stuff thanks a bunch!
Just don't understand why they give so little memory it's 2023 it's just not acceptable
Yes exactly.
Add its ddr3
And no USB c or 3 for fast drive access so not great for 6Gb+ movies grabbed via utorrent etc
@@joythoughtAgreed! Can’t believe they still don’t have USB 3.0 or USB C on it
They can't offer a perfect device something must miss it's commercial thing
Great, professional review.
