no comparison, apple tv 4k is way better. they are not really on the same league both on price and performance. shield is a much better comparison.

Has anyone here experience crushing and slowing down of mi box 3? At one time it shows a warning that the memory is almost full, and I do not know what that means...

No Sir!.....Mi box has no antenna input, unlike any digital tv boxes like Tv Plus on ABS CBN.

Mi Box has only HDMI output, no hdmi input it's two different things.

Mi Box is merely for streaming only, you can't stream local channels like GMA7 or ABS CBN coz this  is not a cable box. You need a

digital TV box like TV Plus coz this box has an antenna input and able to received free local digital channels as you wanted. ;D

Hi everyone,

Anybody here using a logitech harmony Hub in controlling their Mi Box? I added mi box in my devices and was able to control it via mobile app and the included remote ng logitech smart home control. I also enabled both the harmony skills (Blue and Red) in my amazon echo. I can even open apps directly from the mibox home screen using my voice via amazon echo (Ex. netflix, Fox plus, iflix), But as anyboy here know a way on how I can get the navigation/direction buttons to work using voice command (Ex. up, down left, right, okey, back). Any assistance po is much appreciated po.

Nabasa ko lang from other forum site.........Always use YCbCr when the content is Movie/TV/Broadcasts, always use RGB when the content is Games. Always use the higher value if your display supports it.

I share it with guys yung nabasa ko...... ;D

"Currently, live television does not support 10 bit color. Getting a 10 bit HDR TV will not magically allow your standard content to become HDR 10 bit or 12 bit capable. Some services like Netflix do offer 10 bit streaming services, but you’ll have to pay a bit more in order to actually watch supported content. In fact, Blu-Ray disks only use 8 bit color, so your growing collection isn’t going to magically look better on that new TV of yours, though the image may technically be brighter."

The numbers shows (444 and 422) are ratios used to indicate Chroma Subsampling.
Click the link above to learn more.


If your 4k TV has HDR (ergo, it's a 10-bit panel):

• 4:4:4 10-bit if you're playing games or doing graphics-intensive media on your TV (or even use it as your monitor)
• 4:2:2 10-bit for everything else


If your 4k TV DOES NOT have HDR (ergo, it's an 8-bit panel):

• 4:4:4 8-bit if you're playing games or doing graphics-intensive media on your TV (or even use it as your monitor)
• 4:2:2 8-bit for everything else

You must have a Dolby Atmos capable Player, AVR/receiver and file source also must atmos sound track.

Thanks sir, soundbar lang gamit ko sony nt-z9f pero dolby atmos, dts x capable naman daw. Atmos din yung files sir.

When i press the display button on the soundbar remote control, ang display lang niya hdmi2. Hindi niya dinidisplay yung audio format, pag sa arc lang, tv dinidisplay niya.

Pag ang ginamit ko yung phone ko ang info niya- Hdmi 2,2160p, PCM. I guess info ng tv yan sir? Tama ba?

Yung info naman sa mismong spmc, kodi sir- Dolby true hd 7.1. Walang atmos na naka lagay. Thanks sorry sir noob kasi.
