In the video (1:10), I see a different remote near to a box.

So, maybe Oreo running on the TV and they just placed some boxes for the show.

Hmm, not sure which remote is for which device, but this video shows the android info page, and it says mibox 3 with mitv oreo

IIRC the remote is Bluetooth only, but the Mi Box includes an IR receiver.

 How do you know it is Bluetooth only??  I have a Bluetooth Voice remote that came with my Mecool M8S Pro L, that is a combo Bluetooth and IR.  It looks very similar to my Xiaomi Mi remote.

My Mi Box 4K is connected via HDMI to my LG Home Theater System (LG BH7440p) which supports DD+ but there are no 5.1 soundtracks in Netflix app. 5.1 works in any other app (Kodi, VLC etc). Sad

Even original Xiaomi remotes are very different by type, even they are using the same case for the box remotes. The old non-international boxes came with infrared remote. Our box also supports infrared, because the smart home accessories also using infrared. 
I guess they removed turning off opcion from the firmware because the bt remote cannot turn it on. So only sleep is available. 

Here is the inside of the remote come with mdz-16-ab:

You can always use powered USB hub if you have issues.

I don't know how it will perform connected via usb to a hard drive, but the Mi Box is NOT capable of playing copied 4k movies via wired or wireless ethernet.  I've copied 10 of my 4k movies to a NAS and not a single one will play on the Mi Box without stuttering every couple seconds.  The same movies play fine on the nVidia Shield.

 I'm playing my 4K HDR movies from my Qnap NAS without any problem...

Does the MiBox support MiMo 2x2 Wifi via 5GHz?

Or is it only 1x1?


RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - azbest - 2018-03-09

It connects with 866 Mbps, so at least for the download direction should be 2x


RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - Jemus - 2018-03-10

As so many people complained about the poor wifi performamce, I thought it might be only 1x1.

But 2x2 sounds good.
My Notebook reaches over 40MB/s via 2x2 in 5GHz, so about over 320Mb/s.
Might be more than enough for streaming 4k content.
