Xiaomi Mi Box S -- Walmart -- Out of Stock Everywhere - Discontinued?

by war_pig

I'm looking for a very very small form factor AndroidTV device that will be mounted behind a Samsung Frame TV.

Looks like for now, the only option that I have (which is officially supported) is the Xiaomi Mi Box S. I will be using HDHomerun Prime with DRM channels.

I saw the Jetstream in walmart but it's a little bit bigger compared to the Xiaomi and I heard its not officially supported and updates might never be provided.

I gave them a call and spoke to manager and he said that this product has been discontinued by Walmart?

Sound that this guy really didn't have any source when I asked him but he is just telling me to take his word for it.

Is this true and confirmed?

EDIT: Looks like guy is spitting BS. I was able to order online to be shipped in my house. For the past two days it didn't even allow me to add to the cart. Something happened in the past 30 minutes.

Check eBay plenty sellers of Mi Box S make sure you buy from American sellers as Walmart in USA is the exclusive seller of this product.

Mi Box S is available at my local Walmart.

Call Walmart direct but I doubt it. Also check online if you really want or need one.

Store manager might have meant it's discontinued in his particular store but it is still available online

I have the Jetstream box, along with a HDHomerun Duo, and they work well together. Quite snappy. From what I've read, the Jetstream seems to be preferable tot he Xioami.
