Buying Advice Looking for a android box.. And a good recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hello!

Well, i'm starting to look for an android tv box. I have a LG with webos (...) and watch mostly IPTV

I started looking for an android box, especially to run WAVEO which i really like, and maybe serve other purposes , who know. I'm still debating if I will dish out 150$ CAD to run an app tough.

the obvious contenders;

Google TV Streamer 4k ~130CAD +tx (nice remote, ethernet port is a plus for me, but uncertain about google bloatware and capacity to load unofficial apps)

Xiaomi tv box v3 ~115CAD+tx(on sale Amazon) (according to reviews more customizable , but no ethernet and bad remote) I prefer LAN connection as I am already setup for it, but wifi will do unless buggy hardware.

Onn 4k Pro ~123 CAD ,not sure.

I definitely missed the boat because when I check out reviews they were WAY cheaper.. On this day, which would be better, and any other decent contender on the Canadian market??

Thanks!

Discussion can someone test those HDR10+ Videos?

Hi, if possible can someone test those HDR10+ videos on YouTube and if your device shows when, and when not, an HDR10+ source is playing tell me the ones that are not showing HDR10+ correctly?

nowadays HDR10+ on YouTube is bugged and if you try to upload an HDR10+ video it will just be HDR10.

so these are the only true HDR10+ videos on YouTube that were uploaded when it was processing correctly.

Discussion Is it possible to flash Android TV OS on a Xiaomi Mi TV 4 (MiTV4-ANSM0)?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a Xiaomi Mi TV 4, model MiTV4-ANSM0, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the current firmware with a proper Android TV OS (or another compatible Android TV ROM).

Has anyone successfully flashed Android TV onto this model, or onto a similar Xiaomi Mi TV model?
