Xiaomi MiTV2 help

[i1magic]

I myself has a 49" mitv for about 1.5 yrs already. one thing I noticed about my miTV is that it has heat issue after playing for a while. I place this mitv in my bedroom..I then place a fan blowing directly into the back of the mitv, now I can play the tv for many hours. I also disable my auto update function and my mitv version is still at 1.1.63 stable.. cheers

I got my Mi TV 2 55" in Aug 2015.

*touchwood* So far so good. Doesn't seems to have any heat issue or whatever problem.

Firmware 1.1.70 is one of the best. 1.1.63 should be not bad also. Those after 1.1.70 is not so good liao.

Anyway, if really cannot tahan, just buy a separate Android TV box.

Nice. How much and how did you buy the Mi TV 3?

Ok. Try this first :

1. Unplug all cables then plug them back in again
2. Try viewing video from YouTube, do you get that problem

Need to isolate the problem. Sometimes, it could be just due to the HDMI cable that you use, that's why I say watch from YouTube (should be from the Soundbar via the Mi-cable to TV only).

I bought via ezbuy prime for around 1k with the subwoofer option.

I don't have Youtube app in my MiTV as it is not rooted..

I'm also considering to purchase another MiPort cable to try, hopefully it's due to that.

How about the manual update of the software? Any idea where to download the firmware and manual update or you always wait for it to auto download?

Thanks.

Let me remind others of my experience with LG (which you already know).

You already know because you are in that thread trying to convince me to buy LG again. Seriously, I am not Xiaomi salesman but are you LG salesman or distributor or whatever that could be hurt if LG sales is not good?

Honestly in Sg the market is small so we really do not have much choice but to go for Samsung, LG or Sony Tv. Alternatively you can get a cheap Tv like Skyworth then connect a android Tv box to it to watch. I am trying this method in one of my guess room. I am doing it just to test it out. So far so good.

Wah lau .... only $1K ... damn cheap.

My Mi TV 2 55" is also not rooted. Just download this apk :

Put on thumbdrive and plug it into the Mi TV and install from there.

Don't bother about messing with the firmware. Just get another Android TV and use that one. You can try anything on that.

Can try this, should be about the same.

Yah lah. Got YouTube and no subscription is better than no YouTube at all right?

MiTv can not la because it is chinese interface. And once spoilt is throw and Skyworth is super cheap so it is ok to throw la. Skyworth tuner not good but HDMI to android Tv box is ok.

No lah, my Mi TV 2 55" interface is in English. Use this method :

The LG 42" TV that I have also spoilt liao then throw, same same mah. Anyway, if the Mi TV 2 55" and SkyWorth 42" TV were to both last > 3.5yrs, I will not buy all this so-called branded TVs again.

Thanks bro, i spotted that option now. Didn't realise that since my UI in chinese and have to read carefully the words. Will try to factory reset to see if it resolves the blackout issue.

Btw what firmware version you on now?

Just dropped by the Xiaomi store at suntec. The salesgirl said they will be carrying the 65" and 70" early next year(Jan - feb).

With official warranty and great price, this will be a good competition to the Korean TV

My guess is that the price range for the Mi TV 3S 65" with subwoofer and surround speakers would be about $2,299 with 1yr warranty.

If it is at that price, would you still buy this?

Henry Ng, from next year, should have Mi TV 3S 65" with local warranty liao.
