Thinking about buying a Mi TV

by antper18

I’m thinking about getting a Mi TV Box, but I wanted to know if it has something similar to a Google Play Store where you can download some apps onto there for me to watch certain channels or shows.

Don't buy any Xiaomi products. They offer NO support whatsoever. The Mi Box is still on a 2.5 year old Android 6.0 with no security updates either.

Better to check if the apps are available to install from the androidTV play store. Or otherwise you need to sideload them but they won't appear in the launcher without a couple of workarounds.

Get an MDZ-16-AB. It does have Google Play. There are fewer apps listed because they need to be supported by Leanback (e.g. TV interface) but I think you'll have a good experience.

Aptoide is pretty great too, I use it on my MDZ-16-AB without issue. https://en.aptoide.com/

Does the Mi Box play Netflix and YouTube at 4K? Or is it at 1080p?
