Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV with Google Assistant Remote Streaming Media Player - Chromecast Built-in - 4K HDR - Wi-Fi - 8 GB - Black

Great product

It works! For some reason when I plug my Samsung 2T hard drive into my Sony Bravia's USB port, videos are incredibly choppy and it seems the TV is trying to constantly access and buffer the file every 5-10 seconds.Now, when I plug that same Samsung hard drive into the Xiaomi box and connect the Xiaomi Box to my TV via HDMI, I am able to play the movies perfectly. No stuttering, the files are accessed instantly and everything is smooth. I downloaded the Kodi app which has the ability to play videos encoded in Dolby Vision. Not sure if the Xiaomi Box does that natively, I will try that next. VLC is another app that should work great if neither of the two aforementioned apps work.Thank you!Edit: I tried playing the videos using the native Xiaomi media player and the file was not recognized (mkv file) so the Kodi app is in fact needed.

It's not my first time I'm buying this device from this seller and I have had no problem at all, but There was a problem with the device, lately xiaomi I don't know what they are doing to the operating system but the device was defective it keeps restarting so I had to turn it I will buy new one

I’m using it with my TV almost every day. It works well. The only issue I have observed so far is the power button. It works to turn on the device but not turn off for some reason

muy bueno

It’s perfect.

I am a disabled vet and as is the case with everyone, money is super tight. I bought one of these from a big box store and it was a nightmare. The first unit wouldn't connect to the internet, the replacement came with Android 8.1 & when it updated to Android 9 several components would not work (ie Google Chromecast & Netflix) and had to deal with Xiaomi customer service (let do this on the buddy plan- NIGHTMARE) but was repaired after a period of time. I decided that I wanted another unit but this time ordered it from Amazon. It arrived with no problem, this is basically a plug & go unit. As it came on it started to update, my heart sank as I thought please not again. No problem at all. If you possess no tech knowledge, no sweat. There is no learning curve at all, very simple to set up... umm maybe 3- 5 minutes. The options are literally unlimited as far as watching movies, live t.v., kid shows, weather, news, like I said unlimited. It comes with Chromecast, Netflix, & Google assistant which is pretty awesome! You can pick up the remote & ask: "What is the weather in ****", or "Will it rain today"? It will then tell you verbally and visually on your t.v. Lately, I have had ample time (due to COVID-19) to run the unit through the paces, I can't say enough positive about this product. You can get it for a very, very reasonable price too. I hope that this is helpful & useful for everybody.

The remote control is of such poor quality that it feels bad to just hold it.But the biggest problem is that it is useless. I bought it Because I thought it was a full Android-based device. But it is absolutely not. Very limited APP availability and compatibility. Sideloading apps is not only difficult but also meaningless, because even after being sideloaded, the apps are not compatible and unusable anyway.A total waste of time. Several hours of trying everything to prove it might work. I'm more than disappointed. I'm upset with this product and its maker Xiaomi.How could this be competitive against Amazon Fire TV? This would have been a good concept if it were a full Android device, with Android TV being just a feature app (or even dominant one for that matter). But with a castrated Android (worse than castrated actually) and a weak Android TV, this is a pointless product, especially when you consider Fire TV.
