    boards seemed to do something weird to the links. If it doesn't open for you copy the address text and paste it into a tab and it will open. It's boards using skimresources.com that seems to be not playing nice with it.

    During the payment stage after you added it to the cart. You will get an option to add a coupon.

    Did the exact same with me. Long time DHGate user and it point blank refused to process any payment.

    Worked for me first time with Revolut card, no problems getting for that price either. I'm interested to see how it performs vs Firestick too, the Mi box is a great piece of kit so expecting similar results here.

    Ya I'm asking for his friend too.

    Can you download a VPN and other apps like BBC iPlayer?

    You can download either from the official android os playstore which has plenty of options or 3rd party app stores like aptoide. All apps in the official android os playstore work great as they are optimised for the android TV os but any app that is not there you can usually get from aptoide and usually work reasonably ok.

    All the major vpns have Android TV os apps so no worries there. BBC iPlayer would be not in your playstore as you have an Irish account but can be got via aptoide. The iPlayer app isn't great without an air mouse so I usually just have the VPN connected to the UK on the box and then open the iPlayer app on my phone and choose to cast from there. This works perfectly and obviously as it's casting and not just mirroring the screen you can do what you want with the phone when it's playing. The phone really just acts as a remote control or sends the command to the box to open the particular stream from bbc.

    Here's a look at the initial setup and through the menus.

    It comes with Netflix, amazon prime, youtube etc preinstalled but they are really only the tip of the iceberg. With a vpn you can access content from around the world, not to mention you can sideload on apps or get all sorts from Aptoide. The box is very capable of running various IPTV services etc. I don't want this thread being closed so go and do some research on google about all this box can do.

    It can although I find other apps even better such as file commander.

    am tempted but have 2 mi boxes already and a mi tv which i assume will run faster than the stick as the stick only has 1gb ram (boxes and tv have 2gb)
    Might get one for the kids rooms though as I am sucker for xiaomi stuff.
    Thanks op..

    Probably not so soon because it was only released a few weeks ago. If they do you can be sure they will be charging €50 plus for it. Some would probably have the Xiaomi mi box s which is essentially the same thing in box form instead of stick.

    title on the dh site says 4k HDR but output resolution on the specs says FHD or 1080p
    is this 4k stick or just HD stick?

    It's definitely only 1080p and not 4K
