Sir, Crackle crushes in my Nvidia Shield.... bakit?
basing on the reviews posted in google play. the latest crackle for android tv v5.0.0.50(December 8, 2016) is crashing for the shield tv.  It is recommended to use an older build.

PQ is excellent. This inexpensive box can do 4k and HDR. The difference is night and day when viewing an HDR-encoded material.

Of course, the other variables should be met: 4k TV panel with HDR capability and excellent quality source files. You cannot expect yourself to be wowed if your source material is too compressed or low-res to begin with. If you have a premium Netflix account and your internet connection is fast enough, you'd enjoy a fantastic HD/4k PQ.

Under location settings, ang pag-pipilian ko ay "off" and "use wifi to estimate location," so paano gawin US?

How about the audio sir? can it pass thru a dts-hd or master audio encoded audio?

hmm, i think you're referring to spoof your location.
there are a lot of fake gps or location spoofer app to use with android tv OS but the only app that seems to load was Floater https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marlon.floating.fake.location
this worked on my phone when I was using Youtube TV. But I wasn't properly make it to work with android tv os due to lack of options under Developer option. Allow mock locations was turned on.
You can try to test it, and install using player store on your computer.  Also make sure to check the permissions and location is selected.

regarding the new youtube app..
New resigned UI, you can turn off auto play, and stats for nerds.
What I dont like:
I can no longer change the video quality
cant change login channels
there's something wrong with subscription.
Imho, they kinda dumbed it down.
After a few hours testing it. I reverted back to the old youtube app,.
Because I need to change login channels.
BTW, its almost the same as www.youtube.com/tv site.

Nag create ako ng virtual ssid tapos yun mi box ko naka static ip if mag connect sya sa specific ssid.

Ayaw ko sa router kasi baka maka encounter ako ng dns issues. At least eto isa lang. Kung gusto ko iba pang device maka netflix same process. Connect sa virtual ssid tapos static.

Eventually magkakaron ng dhcp yun virtual ssid para hindi na manual pag set

Hello everyone. After reading through this whole thread, I gave up to the urge na palitan na yung 7-month old MXQ 4K (OTT V88 yata in disguise). The box isn't that bad pero I think it is underperforming from what I expect so I decided to look for another medyo hindi pricey na box to hook up my HDD and use Kodi.

Anyways, I ordered my box again from Lazada and now awaiting for arrival. Price is 3.8k and it'll be coming from here in PH.

The one on the way being delivered I think will be in brown box/packaging. Aside sa $50 free credit, may pagkakaiba ba s'ya sa features sa mga nasa orange na box/packaging?

Orange is the international version.  If China variant yang brown box order mo, it'll give you some headaches with Play Store, and Chinese bloatware.

It should be ok.  It has Playstore listed, and has the below model:

^ I've seen brown boxes being sold elsewhere without the seller indicating whether it is the  Chinese or international version.

The first two Mi Box 3 I bought were packaged in that brown box, both international versions. My other purchases were packaged in that orange box (this was initially the familiar Walmart packaging introduced in the US).

The best way, indeed, to ascertain if the brown box is international version is to make sure that the model is MDZ-16-AB. The orange box has the same model number.

As indicated sa product info, same model naman sa orange boxes. Nabawasan sakit ng ulo. For now what I might besure is this will be an upgrade from my "old" box.

Question traveler69: yung Mi Box mo ba sir from that brown box, EU plug? Thanks in advance sir!
