Android TV Box

[wheelee]

guys I got me an SAST Q7 android TV Box here in china & most of the content is Chinese, what apps do you recommend that I install so that it can be used back home? what's the best plug-in for kodi?

I tried some app designed for the phone but some won't show well maybe coz of the resolution.

BTW can these box be flashed with other international TV ROM?

[ris]

mobdro and terrarium are the ones i see often.  kung okay lang sayo subscription you could try netflix or iflix.  pero mga local and old contents lang ang meron sa iflix.  meron akong free subscription sa iflix because of the new fibr line. 

interested din ako kung ano yung nilalagay sa kodi.  hopefully someone suggests a good plugin

[ris]

magkano mo nga pala nabili?

[wheelee]

just downloaded these on the phone & will try them on the Box kung OK sila
plex, haystack, tubi tv, yuppy tv, sonyliv, netflix, hdmovies, aptoide tv, showbox, qq music, happy cast & cetusplay remote for box in phone. yung plugin sa kodi wala pa akong nakukuha need to read more about it. got it in HK@380.

kung local channels pala meron i want tv or tfc.  its just odd that iwantv stutters when i use the higher resolution feed.  also, dont forget to install the youtube app

I think I have to root my Box to install Google All!
I can't get to install google play service which most app/ player needs.
I hope Kingroot will work.

would be better if I can flash an English TV ROM for RK3229.

my android box came pre rooted when i bought it.  if you have aptoide app installed already it should have the apps that you need.  also, couldnt you just sideload the play store?  just dont forget to enable install from unknown sources

What's a good app for remotely controlling (in lieu of a dedicated Bluetooth keyboard, mouse) a generic Android TV box via phone?

All apps that I've Googled so far seem to work on specific smart TVs only.

I'm eyeing this one:

if you're running kodi on that AFAIK you can use yatse to control kodi remotely.

^Also the official KODI app works well!

I finally settled on a Tanix TX3. S905, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage. 1.9k from Lazada. I hope it doesn't disappoint when it gets delivered.

^ let us know how it goes

Just got myself 2 units of Mi Box from Globe.

Its currently on sale for 100/month for 24 months instead of the regular price of 3899.

So far so good but I am still learning how to use it

Very happy with the TX3 as our first TV box. Currently using up the free month of Netflix. Video playback of DLed videos is good and supports more formats than our TV's built-in (USB) player. The more popular Kodi add-ons are already set up by default.

I don't have 4k content to test it though.

The only thing that worries me is the lack of ventilation holes.

Are there any apps I could use as wireless keyboard/mouse for this? Or is it better to purchase a dedicated air mouse remote with keyboard?

so is it the power supply of the TX3 that died ?

Yup. Voltage dropped to 2V. I knew the bundled power supply wouldn't last because it was too light - like there nothing but air inside.
