Review on Xiaomi TV Stick 4K media player by Stanislaw Golkowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

Connected to a Panasonic 2022 plasma. release. The power is now connected directly from the TV's USB. Through HDMI, they agreed on remote commands, and immediately works like a set-top box remote control for simple TV control: turn on and volume, and a TV remote control to control the set-top box. In fact, you can do everything with the TV remote control: select applications, switch tracks or files, start and stop playback - the native remote control of the set-top box is practically unnecessary and inconvenient. Youtube, Kinopoisk, VLC, Chromecast - everything I need from a set-top box. I had to carefully set up the HDMI interaction so that the TV itself did not turn off and turn on when it was not asked. But, these are already TV cockroaches. Everything else has long been described in other reviews. The main thing I wanted to share is the ability to work only from the TV remote control. This is the best purchase since Chromecast, which was bought in 2022.

Pros
  • A great replacement for the old chromecast that I bought back in pre-order in 2022. You can control the TV remote control.
Cons
  • I wish the buttons could be remapped out of the box. In fact, there are at least three unnecessary buttons on the control panel that cannot be reassigned. I can't turn on my TV with the remote control. In general, the remote control is not very good for controlling the TV.
