Bummer. Why can’t Mediacorp make an app just for Android TV? I don’t want to chromecast everything. Defeat the purpose of a standalone device.

No Chrome browser on Android TV Google Play Store too. Damn annoying.

I have a Google Chromecast dongle despite my TV has built-in Chromecast which doesn’t work all the time.

Maybe I should have gotten an Apple TV where meWATCH can be installed. Anyone wants to buy my Mi Box S? Apple TV got Safari browser?

If you are using a smart TV, you can install Me Watch.

mi box got inbuilt chromecast ultra.

u can cast mewatch or other apps or mirror your phone.


normally people here will recommend buy box and DIY.
if some "free" apps don't work well on tv, u can install on your phone and cast to screen.

So far, mi tv box S is rated the best value for money. The price range is $60~$70 recommendation for u.

if u dun want the hassle, can look at ubox/evpad

1 or 2 days ago I made an order on Aliexpress for a T95 tv box.. it was the first time I ordered something from them. Then i thought or it seemed that my new user coupon wasn't utilised so I cancelled it. When I check back the order, it was actually utilised... haiz their order/payment system is a bit confusing and unclear...

Mi Box S on the sub S$100 range.

Or Nvidia Shield TV on the high end.

Where to get good deals for Mi Box S?

Usually you can try Shopee, Lazada or Qoo10.

Example xiaomi online lazada shop (not official shop). No local warranty and 2pin plug with free three pin adapter. I bought my one from this shop. It is now S$76.9 with S$1 coupon to make it S$75.9.
https://s.lazada.sg/s.NPGz

The official Xiaomi Global online shop occasionally also has very good offers at around S$79 or S$89 and local warranty. Not now though (listed price S$109).

H96 max or AF95 better?

You mean H96 Max X3 S905X3 CPU based box and A95X F3 S905X3 based box? Both are generic box without consistent quality. If you are an experienced user and know what you want, both are okay and not much different with decent hardware specifications. Better buy 4GB RAM version.

Do not buy H96 Max box which is based on RK3318 CPU.

If you are not an experienced user, you may want to consider higher quality branded box like Mi Box S (best box under S$100) or Nvidia Shield TV (best box money can buy).

hi, very new to tv box

other than buying a tv box, i still need to pay for a subscription to actually watch the channels right? :o

my parents usually watch mediacorp and taiwan news and variety channels (TVBS, 中天, phoenix, etc.)
