Top 5 TV Box From 50$ to 100$ on November 2021 From China

You should know the difference between a Android TV box and Android TV. This Xiaomi is a Android TV which is officially certified by Google, that means you will receive updates and support for your apps, Chromecast works really well, but in the other hand a Android TV box is not going to give any update or support for your apps like Netflix, I bought a different a Android tv box last year, what a waste of money I wish I would’ve known about this before, I highly recommend you update to Android 9.0 before you install anything, I don’t get why some people complain The device is really small and fast, it’s not the fastest Android TV in the market but it’s really smooth for only $50

I’ve really been enjoying this box so far. The firey alternative was beginning to get much to slow for me and it was driving us NUTS. We wanted something with Android TV instead of a generic tv-box that has heavily modified, basic android versions on it. We have Xiaomi phones and have been extremely happy with them so decided to take the leap on this. We’re happy we did! It’s fast and really easy to use.The only gripe we have with it is that it’s missing Hulu and Prime Video apps. We couldn’t believe it when we saw; I assumed it would have the full Play-Store and we would just download all of the apps we want like normal. This wasn’t the case, apparently Hulu has had performance issues on the platform in the past and they decided to pull it off of the market until it’s fixed. It’s been off the market for months now from what I’ve read, and I don’t expect Hulu to jump on it anytime soon. Amazon and Google of course have a strenuous relationship and as such Android TV’s don’t have Prime Video available on it, and least not currently.For Hulu, I was able to download a legacy .apk of the app, and install it manually. It worked! I tried the same method for Prime Video, but it wouldn’t let me log-in properly. I can personally live without Prime Video and Hulu, but my fiance would become monstrous if she didn’t have access to Hulu. These are the biggest complaints I have with this box, and it really isn’t the boxes fault so I place blame on Google, Amazon, and Disney (Disney owns Hulu). It’s funny because although Hulu isn’t available and arguably neglected by Disney on Android OS, Disney+ works perfectly fine.Regardless, the box performs like a beast and I have been loving it for Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Kodi, Sling TV, Pluto TV, etc, etc, etc and haven’t had issues. Overall it’s a great bang for your buck, but if you can’t live without Prime Video or don’t have the know-how to manually install Hulu, then you may want to look elsewhere for now.

We purchased this box as an upgrade from an older Nvidia Shield TV. Currently there are few Android TV (running actual AndroidTV instead of regular Android) boxes on the market advertised with built-in Wifi 6 capabilities. When we found this box, we were hopeful that we could stream 4K content from our local Plex server without any buffering or stuttering, but upon firing up some content to test, we found this box did not perform any better than the Shield. I then installed a web browser from the Play Store to run proper speed tests.For reference, I ran the same tests with a laptop with an Intel AX200 Wifi 6 chipset. We have a speedtest server on our LAN to reduce ISP bandwidth variance. Here are the numbers we see from that in the same spot (actually a few feet further from the router):Download: 650mbpsUpload: 635mbpsThen, using the same speed test on the LAN, here is where the MeCool KM6 Deluxe sits:Download: 95mbpsUpload: 70mbpsThe speeds from the MeCool KM6 are much closer to the same laptop used in the tests above prior to upgrading the Wifi from Wifi 5 to Wifi 6. In my testing, I’ve found these speeds are insufficient to stream 4K content from high quality sources without stutters and buffering (and even some 1080p content, depending on the bitrate). That said, if you’re in a situation where you can run an ethernet cable to the box, you can run it hardwired and might have better results.Moving onto the rest of the box, it’s largely similar to a regular AndroidTV box. The remote is nice, has buttons for the basics and a few app shortcuts, without being too simplistic (like the earlier Nvidia Shield remote) or too much, and it runs using standard AAA batteries. There’s a nice selection of settings to play with, though our box seems to project an HDR signal regardless of whether there’s HDR content on the screen or if it’s connected to an HDR-capable device. It also doesn’t seem to have the same app selection via the Play Store as the Nvidia Shield does.At the current price point of this device, it’s hard to recommend over other AndroidTV or set-top devices. if you need a small box sub $150 with the AndroidTV interface, this could fit the bill, but there are also other boxes on the market at lower prices than this. If you require a device that can achieve higher wifi speeds, I’d look elsewhere.

Where is the instructions? The short paper seems to be all about how I have to download the software to a TF card. Is this thing really that old to use TF cards? At this point I am very disappointed with the produce and Amazon.

Same exact x6 pro without upgrade!!! Just a paper sticker saying x6 pro H, poor functionality, the arial was broken, exact size and shape of the old one, NOT 64 as advertised but 32, when trying to hook it, it produces sounds of broken things inside. Don’t buy it, I want to return it, however I am sure the company will deny shipping a broken tv box.Very frustrating. Don’t waste your money.

Doesn’t stream 4k. Bought it to stream HBOMAX and VuDu 4k, Atmos surround. HBOMAX won’t even play 4k and VuDu Doesn’t even register 4k, only gives HDX as option. These both work great on my Nvidea Shield.
