Yeah, macro blocking looks right, but not not in the areas of detail and bright color. Speed tests on are usually are around 80-90 Mbps on my iPad on 5ghz N. And when I put my iPad in the same spot as the mi box, I got speeds of 48, 75, and 82 on a few tests. That said this tv is tucked away...

So about the blotchiness with black scenes... I finally compared the same videos using my TVs built in YouTube app and the Mi Box YouTube app... Both have the same dark blotchiness. So either it's just the videos themselves or my TV itself. Regardless, I'd say the Mi Box isn't to blame.

From what I've read, I think there might be an IR receiver on this thing because I've seen some mentions of using it with a harmony remote (650, like mine, I think they said). Lack of voice search would suck, but someday I'd like to reprogram the harmony and try it out. the android phone...

I'll have had the Mi Box for two weeks tomorrow. I like it, but at least mine has a bug where it will sometimes default back to 720p if I ever restart the system. But otherwise it'll stay at UHD/60. So not a huge deal. Never having had Chromecast, I do appreciate the Mi Box's ability to...

I've been reading about Xiaomi's upcoming Android TV box and a fair number of commenters will ask if it can do Amazon, to which the response is unfortunately 'no'. Then one guy said There was an APK available from a Sony TV that had Android TV built in that people had been side loading onto the...

My suspicions confirmed. It's a Dove soap commercial that kills YouTube. (WTF?) Started working again. And I could watch commercials (and skip commercials, too) without breaking YOuTube. That is... Until the Dove soap commercial. It's the dove commercial where they honor vets, I think...

Also just got a Cd/DVD set of Suede doing a live reunion show back in 2010 for the teenage cancer trust. Haven't listened/watched yet, but I've been really getting back into Suede lately.

I bought a Susanna Hoffs CD at Goodwill for a buck. "When You're a Boy". Don't like it much. Not a keeper. Though, I was intrigued later on when I learned that one of the songs was co-written by Juliana Hatfield. In hindsight, that one song does have some of what I'd classify as having a...

I'm watching to see what Xiaomi's upcoming 4K Mi Box Comes priced at and if it works decently. I wouldn't mind Android TV just for the access to Google Music. And a working YouTube, of course, just for the cat videos.

Yes, please! Someone out there in the world with working YouTube please update me on the goings on of Grumpy Cat, Nyan Cat, and Simon's Cat. Has Keyboard Cat uploaded any new songs? Any new epic cat fails? Is it true there's a new video of some random cat doing random cat stuff?

Don't think it uses flash. But there was a firmware update for the TV a few weeks ago, but I never installed it since I wanted to wait for others to try it first just in case if it messed anything up. But now that update doesn't even show for my Tv for some reason. Would've been v1460 and I'm...

Think it's the version on the Tizen OS, fwiw. It stopped last week. I can browse videos, but none of them play. How the heck am I supposed to watch cat videos? Or videos of cats? And did I mention this is depriving me of watching cats on video?

Could be used for colonoscopy exams, I suppose?

This was NOTHING like what I was expecting: Washing your hands after using the toilet could prove beneficial. But avoid using the gas station restroom if at all possible. You may need to bring your own toilet paper.

I liked Thompson Twins. Good early MTV stuff. Don't know why I haven't managed to get a hits album of theirs. Never hear them on the radio so it'd be worth it.

I put The Escape Club into the same category as Fine Young Cannibals. Kinda don't really like their music, yet didn't always turn the dial when their hit song was on the radio. Now... Had you picked up some Culture Club, on the other hand... Karma Chameleon is a catchy little tune. Plus, the...

Happy 4th of July! The best line is from "Mountain Man" #60. So humor me and at least watch through the 1:30 mark. Honorable mention is at the 2:50 mark. I ran across this awesomely bad music video by the LA Rams circa mid-Eighties a few weeks back. Probably from an article on Deadspin...

Don't worry. We still have Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, and Florida Georgia Line. :cry:

Duran Duran - "Paper Gods" Downloaded this one for free from Google Play last night. Not sure if I like it or not. Not yet all the way through yet.

Re: Vizio 2016 P UHD/HDR ! I don't like the silver color being used to designate a top-end model. But did I read where it was aluminum? My iPad was having trouble displaying the page. If so, that makes it halfways acceptable. Might even could look good potentially, not in my current setup...
