    Streams, that's exactly my point. I'm not being negative, genuinely curious as I might be using Kodi wrong, but why wouldn't I just get the latest releases online? Clearer, bluray quality, latest releases.
    - someguycalledpaul on 10/05/2017 - 20:40
      
      heres the rub mate. Download from whatever source whatever quality you want, and use Kodi to play the release.
    - YellowKnight on 10/05/2017 - 21:18
      
      @someguycalledpaul: So basically it's real time torrenting because high quality videos wouldn't be made available on just some hosting site.

    No he means just to process the item, forget the 1 - 4 days. I ordered on the 20th of April, It was been processed at the Netherlands post office on the 10th of May. I'll let you know how the item is in another three weeks when it gets delivered. I don't think anyone's received theirs from the last deal.

  Wasn't this fixed by this solution?
  
  "While video is playing pause and go to audio options on the onscreen display, here you will find audio offset from here correct the sync by trial and error, once you've got it in the audio options menu go down to the bottom and you can click save as default for all videos."

    Got mine.
    
    It is the international version box. Not a genuine Xiaomi power plug though. It's a European plug, but comes with an adapter to Australian plug. I have another one of these i bought in October just after release date from Walmart and the power plug is a genuine one on that one. Not a biggie to be honest.
    - Gav on 13/05/2017 - 12:29
      
      Plug or transformer? If former, not a biggie. If latter, biggie if not the one provided by Xiaomi. Big biggie - instead of giving you a GENUINE transformer (with necessary plug to convert), they're giving you a NON-GENUINE transformer. Why? Wouldn't touch a 3rd party transformer with a barge pole.

      @KRM123:
      
      @KRM123 - when you say you bought a genuine one, you mean the au power plug that came with your other one you bought was a genuine xiaomi Australian plug?
      
      Meanwhile they are giving out a plug (e.g. a travel adapter style plug) for connecting to this EU power pack?
      
      is that an issue - using EU based power packs with an aus plug here? or it only the transformer that's an issue?
Gav on 12/05/2017 - 10:57

Interesting that these only have 3 months warranty (see Q&A on listing). Refurbs perhaps? Something very, very fishy here.
- Clear on 12/05/2017 - 10:59
  
  Chinese company. Do you expect them to have warranties like Australia?
  - Gav on 12/05/2017 - 12:44
    
    If you're an authorised distributor, as they claim to be, then it'd be the manufacturer's warranty period, which is stated as 12 months. If it's not new or from some other grey channel, and they decide to take on warranty themselves, then it's whatever they want it to be.
    - Clear on 12/05/2017 - 12:53
      
      Xiaomi aren't international and don't offer an international warranty so it's going to be up to the store.

      According to mi.com the regions are US, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Indonesia and Mena. The International page is only for the US and their warranty period is 12 months for the US.
      
      In the case of Lightinthebox they would have ordered from Xiaomi China and I doubt you'll have much luck getting warranty support from them.

Ordered on 25th April. 'Shipped' on 5th May. Tracking only became active on the 12th, and it says 'item is pre-advised' which apparently means they're yet to receive it (Netherlands). I feel like a month isn't even a good estimate.

Doubt I'll go through these guys again, that's pretty ordinary service.

Good experience feedback - I came across this deal after the coupon had expired. I contacted the OP and asked if can reactivate the coupon (last week Tuesday) - they were very kind and did so. I ordered then. Paid extra for Express shipping (25AUD to Perth). And it is being delivered today.

For an all outlay of AUD100, I have it within 6 days. Not bad. And communication wit the seller was great.

Summary - dont complain about free shipping from china taking 3 weeks, if you pay for shipping - it comes quick.

I'll comment back with my impressions when I get it. I'll be a power user of it, demanding lossless audio bitstreaming from local media. This will be replacing my trusty WDTV and so I expect a lot, but from my readings, with the latest firmware update, it should be quite capable. I gave up on making my own using a Pine64+ board, as that does not bitstream lossless audio.

Cheers

  Would you mind checking if the app store supports downloading the 'viki' app for asian drama streaming - for the mrs. I would assume any android would, but then given my dad's samsung tv doesnt (yet my smaller smart tv samsung does) I'm not too sure all apps are made equal on an android environment.
  
  Interesting that you apid express and got it so quickly. I ordered their mi band (fitness tracker)in the april deal, took from 10 apirl circa to 24 april to ship and still no word of it. so yeah,free shipping is the pits. MY biggest worry is whether the seller is legit given I haven't received anything yet.
  
  Can you comment on the whole aus adapter/plug thing which some are complaining/brining up above?
- thereisriceandcurry on 17/05/2017 - 02:59
  
  Can confirm
  - AU adapter works fine. Is a EU plug otherwise
  - DTS-HDMA, True-HD, DTS, DD+, Netflix HD+5.1, 1080p Youtube, all confirmed working excellently
  - kodi working flawlessly
  - local media playback excellent, good implementation of pause, skip, chapter

  I tried and I can't work out how on earth to get the coupon to work?
  
  It's got group buying of $96.08? Yet "buy alone" is $85.79. Utterly confused - is group buying meant to be cheaper than 'buying alone' and what is this whole group buying thing?
  
  WHen I go through the 'proceed to checkout' both amounts only get reduced by $5 using the "mibox" code - am I doing something wrong? or is it finished?
  - thereisriceandcurry on 23/05/2017 - 12:12
    
    Select USD - 59.99 - add to cart - proceed to checkout - add coupon at bottom MIBOX - ~57US free shipping, add on shipping extras. Confirmed just then

Hi all,

Before ordering this can I ask given it says hdmi 2.0a does this mean if I have an old LCD tv that has HDMI when it first came out (one port in the back) that this can connect? Are the heads/connectors the same between HDMI versions - like usb 2 vs usb 3? And are they backwards compatible?

Would appreciate anyone who's got a box to do a play store search if the viki streaming/video service app is available as that's the main reason I'd be buying this (for the mrs).

Has everyone who's paid the $13 or whatever it is for express shipping received this much faster - or is it a waste of time and you'll still receive the slow timeframes?
- suudo on 27/05/2017 - 10:55
  
  Hey viki app is available and the app seems pretty good , optimised for android tv rather than mobile.
  - SaberX on 29/05/2017 - 02:47

mine says shipped but there is no tracking information provided yet. I ordered on 8th May
batrarobin on 19/05/2017 - 00:02

Mine has arrived in Australia so should get it by Friday next week.

A tip: Enter your tracking number on Auspost website, if it says "Events Pending" that means it hasn't landed in Australia yet..and if it says "Sorry, this item can't be tracked", that means it has arrived in Australia but Auspost won't display any tracking info.

    Also, the automatic time setting doesn't work (sets it to 1/1/15 11.00 am), and if I set the time manually, it resets anyways.

For the people that have already received theirs, can I ask if the tracking changed once it arrived in Australia? tracking it to your door.

Mine has been sitting at "The item has arrived in the country of destination" since Monday.
