I just bought five of these on eBay hopefully they'll work out really well I like the look of them and I think these are good boxes can't wait to get them thanks for your review always a pleasure to see your videos it's great to know that you know what you're doing and you're very thorough with the reviews keep up the good work
Thax, I just bought tx6 after saw your review. However, I had lagging problem and finally freezed, after about one hour using it. I found out this tx6 always overheat. So I use a mini usb fan placed near tx6 ventilation.
@@Jason-vz6hm It has a better picture than my Minix box... but the TX6 over heats, freezes and locks up. I wouldn't buy this if I was you. I'm going to get something else. For now I've switched back to my Minix Neo U9H.
is It having AV out for old Tv's or SPDIF port for audio out only? in Specifications its mentioned as SPDIF. can get video signal also in SPDIF? please let me know
Hi, two questions... Does it come with the possibility of "Live TV"? Does it come with "TalkBack" preinstalled or must be installed? Thank you for all these reviews!
Most Chinese brands do release firmware updates to their boxes, it is just a pain to go find them, download to USB drive or sdcard, then owner install an OTA update. Most brands don't host any OTA website that pushes direct downloads of new firmware OTA updates to their devices. This Tanix TX6 was released in November 2018 and first firmware update came out mid December 2018, about 1 month later.
Thank you for your review. I already have this box, everything works perfectly, but it is shame that RU-vid on this box is only 1080p. I tried modified YT app but can't play 4k, it just stuck on constant loading. And also tanix promised to update this box to Android 9, I also seen videos with this box already running on Android 9 , but can't find the firmware.
@@ChigzTech I tried the firmware that was linked by someone on Tanix Facebook. There is it : yadi.sk/d/VnM-ISJpV8agAw . Installation was ok, but there are major flaws. Alice UI is lagging on android 9, on android 7 it was more fluid. Movement inside settings menu is perfect but when you return to home-screen it is worse, it is like Alice UI was not yet balanced for android 9. Also this update brings 4K support on youtube, but it plays only 4K30FPS, 4K60FPS si lagging badly and skipping frames like crazy it´s unplayable and unwatchable. Also on A9 it can now play jellyfish 400mbps test video from internal storage without problems, on A7 it was skipping frames. I didn´t checked the temperatures on A7 but on A9 idle temepratures are quite high around 80°C. Under load it goes up to 90°C. It looks like Tanix underestimated cooling. Last thing is, that USB3 is not working, it refuses to load usb sticks, I don´t know if it is problem of new FW or if it is faulty unit, I didn´t checked USB3 port before update. I can´t return to A7 because I don´t have the box anymore it was gift for relative, so I can´t check what of those problems are caused by update and what is problem of unit itself. If you or anyone else can check that I would be grateful.
Hey can you make one video about the different types remotes you get with the tv box and how useful they are? Here are some points that you can consider: 1. Types of remotes. 2. Numerical keys, their use and importance.(specially for non voice remote) 3. Air mouse. 4. Voice remote. (everyone already know about this but for prime tv box but is it really useful for android box's?) 5. Any way to connect another device like mobile or tablet and use it like remote. (i am talking about reverse miracast).
Great review thanks. Bought one. Having a lot of trouble making playlists using their installed app. Do you have an app that you recommend for this box to make playlists from videos stored on a usb device? Thanks for any help.
Bro add some details about remote like voice remote, RU-vid, Netflix buttons etc..for feature tv boxes.. and don't forget to update on your excel chart column also about the voice remote.
i have a problem with my tx6 box. i can put it off (power off) with my infra red remote. but I cannot put in on (power it on) with the remote. Is it a bug? nobody has reported this problem. Can anybody give me a solution?
I can get one of these in Thailand with android 9 on it. Are you saying that this will not handle Netflix 4K? My internet is decent. It's 200/200 and I will be plugging in this device. I'd rather have Apple TV or Roku but I would like a budget box and this one is around 30 dollars on Lazada.
Great review as always . my mini96 box bricked some how will get one of these as its just for tv and my internet is abit meh where i live . thanks for the reviews ☺
i have a mini 96 tv box 2 , and i have a problem with the wifi , so i've decieded to buy this tv box , i still didn't recieved it yet , but from his review im happy that i bought it
Hi, I am planning on buying this and connect to an external touch monitor to run games and apps. How does the box work with external touch screens? I have come across other android boxes on amazon that does not work at all with external touch monitors (I would have to move the mouse cursor on screen to use the touch and there was no way to remove/hide mouse cursor functionality). Thanks!
Can you review the Tanix TX5 max? I'd like to know how it compares vs the Beelink GT1 and the T95Q. Also: thanks for your reviews, these help a lot when making a decision
Thank you for the great reviews! I have a question. Can't these boxes run Kodi 18 and then have RU-vid and Netflix in full 4K? I thought with the new DMR both those could be run at 4K on Kodi 18. just wondering because that makes all of these boxes more valuable if everything can be run in 4k.
You can run any version of Kodi including 4K content on Kodi. You can also watch 4K on RU-vid. However Netflix has strict licensing for 4K so only official Google certified boxes will work for Netflix 4K.
I thought Asphalt8 will go much better on this hardware? Were all settings on high or something like that? Would performance be any better on Android9? And the other thing, I keep seeing cpu@1.5Ghz... weird? Is it because of diffrent cpu-z version, so the app doesn't identify it correctly? Thanks for the video.
Another great review sir and good to see its screen cast capable too i dont mind if it's still on Nougat as long as I can mirror thanks for a very helpful channel and chart
Can you help me one thing in this device, ? When I am playing Movie from google drive , the Movie has subtitles, but when the movie play there I don’t find subtitle show option,?? Can you plz help me??
Hi Chigz, I have a Tanix Tx6 running with the latest 9.0 firmware + 64gbs storage, and I want to install Kodi 18.2 on it. Which is better the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Kodi ? :-)
Are there TX6 knock-offs out there?????? Hi, I bought, what i thought was a Tanix TX6 4/64GB. But nowhere can i read the brand name "Tanix" on it, just TX6. It looks the same as this in the video but it is VERY LAGGY. I have done all the updates but to no avail. Real Tanix has their name under the clock on the home screen, mine don't. Are there TX6 knock-off out there? I installed a System info app, but it just hangs and shows nothing. I will try to fill up the 64GB and if it is real and rty another system info app.
@@ChigzTech Thanks for your reply. It was awful, so i gave it way (Local shitty seller refused to take it back) so I ordered the X99 RK3399 4/64gb from Aliexpress with a few hundred good reviews instead...
I have trouble with RU-vid. If I open RU-vid in the app, it's slow not playing. I downloaded RU-vid from play store that you tube playing without trouble. But I want play other RU-vid bec that is easy to use. What the reason one RU-vid not playing other one playing.
Overall nice android tv box But if you install the original youtube from play store instead of pre installed you can stream At (4k 60) same goes for Netflix
