Let me put this in context.

In the time since this beta, I met a girl, Dated her for 5 months, and am now considering getting a place together with her.

Raise your hand if you're surprised

Only guessing here but I bet they are having issues with HDR. And since they promised HDR was coming in the patch, they are trying to make it work

This is only a guess.

I expect them to having solved the Chromecast fullscreen color shifting issue, because as of now it's unacceptable. So much I'd advise against buying the Mi Box.

And I had Nougat at the very beginning of February on my Nvidia Shield TV !

Indeed, very lazy Xiaomi ! Maybe Amlogic had something to do with it too ?

I dunno, there's still that weird resolution bug for me where it changes to 480p and only a reboot lets me see options to change it back. Overall, poor experience with my MiBox so far

Well, looks like you jolted someone into action!

FYI, the beta has been running this entire time, and this would be the 5th or 6th release.

My mibox seems to be..degrading never unlocked bootloader or rooted and just get constant crashes, apps wont load, netflix shits itself and nothing changes after factory resetting.

Worked fine for maybe the first 3 months i had it, now..idk might save up for a shield

I'm considering buying mi box, can someone clarify for my what are the advantages of 7.0 over 6.0?

Recently ditch the mibox and went back to roku. Mibox was just non responsive half the time when i try to cast.

What about usb tuners on beta firmware?, do they work?

BlueShibe

Do you guys still recommend me to buy the Mi Box?

Perhaps they'll have another juicy ETA for us at the next Google I/O

No offense, but you guys expecting the Mi Box to be supported are fucking delusional cock bandits. Give up, face reality and shut the fuck up about the lack of updates for this piece of shit.

The company has no interest in supporting it. I'm sure it will never get 7 much less 8. Get a Shield and enjoy knowing what hardware and software support is.
