Great review Brett! The history lesson was informative. Hey, I was wondering if the MiBox can be included in multi-room speaker group?

@TechWithBrett 5 лет назад

Good question and sadly no. The Android TV boxes can't but a Chromecast can. Thanks for bringing it up.

@futurecactus 5 лет назад

Thanks for asking and replying, that makes the Mi Box a definite no go for me. Adding chromecast into speaker groups allows integration of wired surround sound systems with wireless smart speakers around the home, its a great solution.

@lucascherubimbortoleto1066 4 года назад

Hey Bret, nice video Do you know if some day Google will update AndroidTV to be included in a speaker group? Thanks

Nice review ! 🤩 I just would like to ask, why is that I can't see an option to switch my mi box s to 4k? Actually, i have an 1080p tv, i wonder if that could hamper the capability, that it really requires and detects if i have a 4k tv?

can we get some custom roms on this thing? they need to chuck the s905L for the S912 or at least the all winner H6 penta core cpu. to get some gaming on this

@2trains182 5 лет назад

I have two of these, the 3 and the s. I love the Chromecast ability and that Google Assistant is not always on (as far as I can tell haha). Compared to x96 based boxes it is much better. For the price you may as well get one of these rather than an actual Chromecast. I use a ugreen Ethernet adapter which makes it stream perfectly always

@Timpskie 4 года назад

Hi! Can I cast something from my phone when the Mi Box is turned off? Or If I say to my Google home mini: "Hey Google, play Friends on Netflix" will it turn on the Mi Box and start playing? Because I read somewhere that the cast function isn't available when the Mi Box is turned off, and the Mi Box doesn't show up as a casting device on your phone.

@ranvedsticon2304 4 года назад

Does it have some kind of auto standby feature when it turns itself off after some time? Is there some bugs like a need to reboot it every once in a while while apps get frozen or something?

@luckienuckie 5 лет назад

nice review! planning to order it but just a quick question: can we connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and download browsers like firefox, chrome and opera for android?

@TechWithBrett 5 лет назад

Yes you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard. There is a way to download browsers but you need to side load them and they are usually not formatted for Android TV.

@Saul700 4 года назад

Puffin browser is optimized for Android TV, so no need to sideload that browser.

@VideoNOLA 5 лет назад

Excellent review. Just ordered mine from eBay, since the SlickDeals $45 special at WalMart is over. Oddly, literally seconds after placing order, Google emailed an offer for a free mini Home Assistant (choice of four colors), a $49 value. Bizarre timing... coincidence?? FYI, got the Xiaomi Box S based on positive reviews like yours, but only after trying like mad to get my Chromebook to "play nice" with a Roku stick. (Yes, RU-vid and -- they tell me, mine doesn't... -- NetFlix have built-in "Miracast" casting features, but Chrome OS and other apps, including Chrome Browser, DO NOT ... they cast via the Chromecast API instead. All this competition and lack of standardization is annoying!) Gonna be a fun toy, which I hope doesn't peter out prematurely like the Logitech Revue did. I'm eager to try out any new interconnectivity that the Box S may offer: IFTTT integration? Media Folder access via network? PlayCloud, Sundance Now, and other more obscure 'channels'?
