Hi Guys, Need Help..

Where can i buy the box locally? Any Recommended shop? or isit worth buying from xiaomishop.com?

Which Version Should I Look Out For?

Thanks

Qmall from qoo10. Good service. I call xiaomi at china. The box is real de. I bought June, and seller got the stock from xiaomi may. Not much price different actually. Unless u wan to hav English version then u either pay to get it done or u learn from good pp in this forum to DIY. Get enhance version or so call gen3.

I totally regret in getting this POS and it just didn't help much on the streaming also. Worst than my andriod box which I am having in my entertainment room.

I so glad that i buy this mibox. Watching world cup alone for most of the matches free already cover back the cost liao.

Hi all,

I've just received my xiaomi 3rd gen box (jailbroken and lotsa programs installed). Connect via HDMI and tried. Basic navigation is fine but tho this is android i can't seem to find playstore which i can download apps. Seller also included toggle app but while i can open the app, I can't seem to navigate and select the shows i wan to watch. Screen size is also a little no proportionate.

Can someone advise me on the above as well as how to make it easier to use for my parents.

P.S. any apps i can use to watch Korean dramas but re-dubbed in chinese?

Below are the options i select when purchasing.

Type:Third Generation / International Channel:Free Trail 200+Intl Channel / Operation System:Jailbreak +English+600 Live Chinese Channel / TV Drama:HK/TW/Korea Drama /Updated movie Program

thanks,
Addy

Is it? That should be almost $30 price difference.

OK, $30 is nothing really.

It's 119. But u can use $10 item coupon, $10 cart coupon. And if u have 1000 qpoint. The $30 is offset already. That y I got at $90. Catch the gss 1000 point that time

I got another app which my friend recommend and it was youku and this app suit my Internet and didn't have any issues playing the movies at all now.

I believe not all apps are friendly to our Internet and I been using 兔tv and that is really a nightmare although they have massive data base in movies drama but not stable when I played the movie.

Bought from qoo10 under seller qmall. I like their better service compare other seller. At least they are always there during operating hours. And they pick up calls. Go grab $10 item coupon and $10 cart coupon to reduce the price.

U can install lots of apps for movie. U have to go read another thread to DIY. If u are not good at that, then u have to pay the seller for jb version

I totally agree it being a POS... the UI is terrible... backside got itchy to switch from MINIX to this POS coz it cheaper than the 8x ver. with similar specs. Now this POS is just sitting there... looking for time to try flashing it with the MINIX 8x FW and see how things goes. My MINIX G4 works better that this POS currently.:slant:

If u are new member then u might wan check out mameq lucky price, scroll down see anyone can give u $10 item coupon and $10 cart coupon. Once u got them, at the seller page, click use my coupon, click it $10 item coupon . Then add the option u need. Next at check out page at the total payment, there is another use my coupon, click that to apply cart coupon. Note these coupon are not applicable for time sale. If u need connect extra USB, then better buy the otg cable, I bought with intention to connect to PC, end up PC can't detect, so it's a dummy at the moment, anyway it's cheap. I choose this seller in considering if any issue, I can reach them easily. Most seller are hard to contact, don't reply, and some are bad service from the reviews, I contact 3 sellers before choosing qmall, the girls there are quite nice to demo the box before I purchase. Up to u to decide from which seller. That my personal experience only. Actually it's quite easy to locate the seller, so can self collect to save $6. Use the stairways near DBS.

I can send u $10 item coupon expire 14 days and $10 cart coupon expired in 15 days, wat ur email address?
