Review on Xiaomi Mi Box S Global TV Box, black by Eunu ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

Let me just say that I'm happy with my purchase. What came from the seller's warehouse started right away, connected to the network and showed videos from youtube. I wanted to ate (I allowed it, after which the contents of the console became more adapted to our realities). Connected to an account on Google Play, agreed to download programs from there. There are no complaints here. The main problem is that out of the box, the device did not have software for working with files on the local home network, everything is designed to connect to paid services via the Internet. To make a media player out of this block, you need to download players from the network, install and experiment. But in the console there is a bunch of unnecessary content, which is useless in the current conditions. I seem to have succeeded in making a media player out of it, I continue experiments.

Pros
  • A product from a well-known manufacturer, compact, works right out of the box. The remote control works via bluetooth - it removes a lot of problems with cross responses of infrared remote control signals on TV and nearby media devices (there was an experience).
Cons
  • Requires fine-tuning with a file (software) and additional purchase of external units (no LAN port), did not see a mouse on USB
