Reasons to purchase
As soon as the Chinese New Year passed, it was time to add a TV box to the home. You can watch Spring Festival Gala, play games, watch live broadcasts, watch videos, watch movies....
Researched the current mainstream box brands include: Tmall, Xiaomi, Huawei, Haimeidi and so on.
Among them, Tmall, Xiaomi and Huawei belong to the new generation of manufacturers. Haimeidi is a traditional old manufacturer.
The configuration considers choosing the flagship configuration of each brand: 2G flash memory + 16G (or 8G) memory.
Huawei's glory box pro, enhanced version of millet 3, Lynx box 3pro, and Haimeidi H7 four generations, hardware comparison (green marked as an advantage; yellow marked as missing items):
1, hardware configuration comparison:
Memory, flash memory configuration, Lynx Box, Haimei Di (2G+16G)> Huawei, Xiaomi followed (2G+8G).
On the chip, Tmall, Haimeidi (Amlogic S912, 8 cores)> Xiaomi (MT8693 2 core Cortex-A72+4 core Cortex-A53)> Huawei (Haisi quad core).
2, interface comparison:
Shanghai Meidi is the most abundant (4 types of interfaces + fiber audio); Tmall's magic box interface is second in number (4 interfaces), but it is also very comprehensive; Huawei glory (3 interfaces, no AV interface) and Xiaomi (2 interfaces) , no network interface and AV interface) are flawed.
The following figure is from top to bottom: Lynx Box / Millet Box / Huawei Box / Hemeti
3, cost-effective: configuration close to the case, 299 yuan Tmall 3pro obvious advantages; 399 yuan Huawei and Xiaomi followed; 499 yuan of Haimei Di, configure a number of features that I may not use, abandoned.
Purchase:
The biggest slot for everyone in the Tmall box is its “automatically delete user software†event in 2015. However, considering that it offers 100 yuan more than other products of the same configuration, taking into account that there are many ways to crack the YUNOS remote removal software on the Internet, I think this is not an issue.
If you don't mind the 2015 YUNOS software removal incident, Lynx Box is the preferred TV box.
If you mind, then add a few dozen pieces of Huawei or millet is not bad.
Since it is selected, Tmall orders and other delivery.
The following describes the use of the next day cat box 3pro experience:
(a) Appearance:
Including the host, remote control, power adapter, HDMI cable, two dry batteries and instructions. The design of the power adapter is more user-friendly and does not occupy other jacks when plugged in, similar to the design of a mobile phone adapter.
The size of the box is longer than the U disk.
Installation: Connect the power cord, HDMI cable (AV cable for old TV), select the video source on the TV, OK. (These instructions have)
(B) UI and software
You need to connect to the network when you turn on your computer. After that, you will have 30 seconds of advertising every time you start up, and finally you will enter the main interface.
1. The software market that comes with it is too weak. The first thing to do when starting up must be to install the “Beem Marketâ€.
2, install "TV cat", "TV home" this kind of live APK can see the major CCTV, local station live channel.
It is 10pm at the time of watching, basically no card.
3, according to their own preferences to install various APK.
I installed TateVideo and integrated videos from many popular video sites. Need to see iQIYI, Youku, Sohu can download their own APK installation is also able to see.
Watched for a while in the evening, "Ghost Blowing Lights - Perfect Ancient City". After watching 2.5 hours, I had 2 cards, about 10 seconds each time. (Home is Unicom 50M bandwidth)
Tmall's box comes with a wide range of sources. It has tested the "Operation Mekong".
The clarity of the video is also very high, and some video sources have high definition and super clear options.
4, play U disk in the video format
Played a 4K test piece source, very smooth.
The display is very good, the ducks and the beauties are all DC saliva
5, mobile phone and box with the screen: install "music broadcast screen", the perfect IPHONE 6S (other phones did not try), IPAD and the same box with the box play. (The AliTV TV Assistant that comes with the box also has this function, it is not easy to use).
Apple's AIRPLAY can be compatible, but the connection is not very good, and often there is no connection. I feel no use music player software.
6, PC folder sharing: "STORM" installed on the box, PC-side installation "flying screen", directly to the folder to be shared "flying screen" software, you can achieve PC folder sharing, direct use STORM on the box plays a PC shared folder video.
The video-end interface is installed on the TV.
The computer installs the flying screen interface.
With a search on the TV, there is a PC shared folder.
List of shared folder contents.
This is a very useful function, the computer as a server, the computer from top to bottom, a good source directly through the computer to play, do not have to copy back and forth through the U disk, very convenient.
Some of the sources were tested. Only the 4K source “Beauty and Roast Duck.MP4†will play when it is played. Other sources are normal.
7, install "wild car", try for a while, no card, also installed "hill climb", nor card.
Mobile phone client "Ali TV Assistant" comes with the game handle function can turn the phone into a handle, basically do not use, or to play with their own handle.
(c) Remote Control
I bought the infrared remote control, the remote control buttons are not many, the operation is very sensitive. It is said that Bluetooth remote control has voice function.
The "M" key is a shortcut key, a very good function key, and awesome.
The phone can be installed "Ali TV Assistant" app, so that mobile phone avatar remote control. You can also turn your phone into a gamepad, but it feels better to use it, or to buy a solid handle.
(four) network connection
Box comes with two kinds of network interface and wireless, I use wireless access WIFI, the signal is very stable. There was no disconnection or weak signal.
(e) Others
I didn't care much about running points, and it wasn’t measured; the supported video formats were too cumbersome to measure, and I hadn’t measured them. These two items came directly from the ratings I’ve seen. Just the other two were compared.
1, about running points
2, supported playback format
Final summary:
1, hardware / price (cost): as a 299 box, victory over similar products (this should be no controversy it)
2, software: can be installed when the shellfish market, live TV software (TV cats, TV), with the screen software (music), games (wild racing 8, hill climb), etc., I tested some of the more commonly used software The operation is smooth. No application of Caton was found.
(There is a need to test which APK can leave a message, Kazakhstan, I am free to test.)
3. As for YUNOS, the benevolent sees it. Each UI is much the same.
Disadvantages:
1. After connecting the 2T hard disk, it is necessary to restart the box to detect the hard disk, and it takes about 30 seconds to enter the hard disk.
