Di lang ako succesful sa search using the mic.. paano ba ang tamang pag gamit.. hehehe

Press the mic. This works in the home screen and within youtube and the playstore as well.

Things you can try;

"Guardians of the Galaxy"
"Weather Report"
"Stranger Things Netflix"

I also have a spotify account and app and I can have the box play my playlists.

Press once... then wait for the "plink" to begin speaking.

Pluto & Haystack will give you an introduction into Live TV channels streamed via IP. Then you can try Puppetmaster TV. All free.. all legit.

The future is IPTV.
Yup, the future is IPTV. :)
btw, if you have a US vpn service or smartDNS you can also try sideloading slingtv app this will give you a free trial for 12 or 24 hours (not really sure on how long but mine lasted almost a day).
This free trial offer is only for Mi box owners. No need to put any login.
Also, if you have the orange box mi box you can use the 50 dollar code included. You can get the orange bundle for $20/mo or the Blue bundle for $25/mo.  :)
get the apk here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sling-tv-l-l-c/sling/sling-5-2-595-release/sling-tv-5-2-595-2-android-apk-download/

Use the built-in Live Channels app to view puppetmaster channels. No crash

I don't really use the app directly.. i just install the puppetmaster tv app and add the channels using Live Channels App. I can load puppetmaster channels without vpn.

Live Channels app is a native Android TV app. You may have to install and update it via Google Play.

Haystack TV





I am starting to explore and appreciate Haystack TV app as an excellent source of international news, especially that I have become bored with CNN International which has too much of Anderson Cooper ::) and here are some reasons why I really like it so far:

1. It can be used without VPN
2. News from all categories are constantly updated
3. News are organized into several categories with selectable topics, trending or otherwise
3. Can be used with LIVE CHANNELS app, so that the news appear on a timeline or can be simply used within the Haystack app itself with categories to choose from

Yes, when I start this app in the morning, I get to see news that were exclusively made  available from primetime US networks. I see news updates that have just been aired in the US within the last 1 or 2 hours of actual broadcast, although recent news within the last several hours can be accessed as well. Depende yung updates sa category that was pre-selected by the user. No fluff, just straight up news.

I also like the tech category.

ah i see. so it relies on other apps pala. i just figured it out now.

on the puppetmaster - the app itself keeps on crashing and some channels it asks to connect via vpn. tinigilan ko muna pero na add ko na yun puppetmaster sa live channels.

nice. thanks.

Yes that's my experience din, that's why I chose to add the working channels to Live Channels.

The working channels are still worth it for me as I like news from all over the world.

5Ghz no problem. 3 of my Mi Boxes here at home stream on that band. I am using a TP-Link Archer C7 router.
