Living with a budget Android TV box

The Mi Box S is inexpensive and small, which makes it ideal for a bedroom TV or a cottage. Its 8 GB of storage fills up fast, so install only the apps you need: one IPTV player, one streaming app if you use it, and nothing else. Clearing caches monthly keeps it responsive.

Some Mi Box units ship with Android TV versions that receive fewer updates than newer devices. If an IPTV app refuses to install because the OS is too old, check for a system update in Settings → Device Preferences → About → System update.
