Thanks for the confirmation. Any way to convert it to English? Do I still need this for navigation or the supplied controller is good enough?

Mele F10 USB 2.4GHz Wireless Remote Control Fly Air Mouse Keyboard 3-in-1 for PC Android TV Box (Black) (EXPORT) | Lazada Singapore

Depends on you usage. Some apks need to use mouse.

Don't buy mele F10 pro because it is problematic. Buy the mele f10 deluxe instead - later model, cheaper and better, comes with 2 sets of IR learning so it can replace another 2 remote controls.

It is sold on aliexpress by MELE itself at US$26 only.


It can be changed to english, see this link:

I don't have a mibox mini, but I think mibox has an app which you can install in your phone to use as a remote control. Search for it.

Hi bros! I'm really interested in the MiBox and wonder if you guys could answer my queries?

1) Are we still able to watch EPL on the MiBox with the sports app 光芒体育 (scrolled through the facebook page and saw this app)?

2) Is the Xiaomi Mini recommended? Or it's better to get the MiBox (Black)? Is there any difference?

3) Does the sports app/youku app require any rooting or somewhat or just install the app from the 'play store' and we're ready to go?

4) What's the price range for stock MiBox (Not mini)? Would it be recommended to get it via taobao? or is there any other stores that sell it at a cheaper price?

Thank you very much, help appreciated :)

hi guys,

Im a newbie here and bought a mibox3, wonder how to add new app. Can someone guide me ?

I am actually staying in middle east, when I used it in Singapore, it runs very smoothly, but once I come back, it became quite lag. My download speed here is 25mbps, read that shouldn't be a problem. Anyone know why ? Is it some setting or router problem ?

TIA

Yes to 1) get mibox better, sports app, just download apk and transfer to thumb drive. Got my 2gb version for around $120 without any fancy options from Qoo10 :)

okay, thanks!

hope the rest can answer my other questions :)

P/S: I searched through taobao and the most expensive MiBox I could find is $80~$90 SGD, isn't $120 abit steep?

Thanks a plenty. That worked to install Gmail & YouTube. However, I still cannot airplay over my YouTube feed on iPad to MiBox.

Actually upon booting up YouTube, i do get an error message. I can't sign into my YouTube account. Tried resetting my mibox again & repeating the whole process ... Same odd YouTube problem.

I actually found this store on taobao, 339 yuan for the stock mibox, seems like a pretty good deal.

Ô*·âÕýÆ·´øÆ±¡ïMIUI/СÃ× Ð¡Ã׺Ð×ÓÔöÇ¿°æ1G 4K³¬Ç尲׿ËĺËÁª±£-ÌÔ±¦Íø

anyone has better store to sic for tb/qoo10?

it is actually rmb349 for the stock, send out on the day of order. i asked 1 3rd party forwarder before, it is special goods, quote me rmb58 for 1st 500g, rmb11 for subsequent. The total cost is around sgd89. i bought from a local qoo10 seller, bnib, stock mibox, with qexpress delivery, SGD83.90. i ordered on sunday midnight (monday 1am, around there), received it today. the seller got no reviews at all actually i was a little worried, but **** care just try n see.
