Review and small setup of Xiaomi Mi Box Mini. TV Set-top Box Xiaomi Mi Box Mini Using the TV Set-top Box Xiaomi Mi Box

Hello dear readers, today we will tell you how to set up a TV set-top box to watch IP television channels.

Important: The set-top box is equipped with a Bluetooth control panel, with which you can turn it on/off, select and switch channels, and control the volume. But one remote control is not enough to set up the set-top box, because... During setup, the mouse cursor is used, but this functionality is not available in the remote control. To solve this problem, we used a Bluetooth mouse CBR CM530 Bt, but any other mouse should work without any problems with Bluetooth support.

Is it possible to connect a keyboard? Yes, Xiaomi Mi Box Mini supports a Bluetooth keyboard, which makes using the set-top box even more convenient.

Note: The set-top box only works over a Wi-Fi network. To set up, we need a computer or smartphone connected to the same network as the set-top box.

Buy Xiaomi Mi Box Mini you can in our online store.

A TV box is a device that can turn your old TV (tube coffins from the last century don't count) into a home multimedia station for just $60. To give it a second life, just use one HDMI connector. Thousands of TV channels, which are conveniently sorted by categories (sports, news, children's, fashion, etc.), watching recorded TV programs (if you missed the series), YouTube, online movies, games, music, and even weather forecasts, alarm clocks, quickly search for information - all this is easy and convenient using your home TV. Moreover, you can even connect a webcam to organize a video surveillance system for your apartment. To understand a little better what we are talking about, we recommend watching our video on this topic.

In this video, we talked about the Xiaomi Mi Box device, its problems, and also looked at what we thought was a better alternative from an unknown Chinese manufacturer. But immediately after the release of this video, many of our subscribers paid attention to one very important nuance that we, for some reason, forgot: when you are dealing with equipment from Xiaomi, you need to roll up your sleeves and create your own happiness with your own hands. In general, the situation is the same as with smartphones. This does not mean that Xiaomi is a bad brand. On the contrary: it is quite stupid to scold a designer for the fact that it is delivered in disassembled form. The manufacturer provides excellent hardware for minimal money, and scolding the brand for its ideology is, to say the least, wrong. Therefore, we are forced to admit that we did not understand the issue deeply enough, but this time we will try to improve.

We are grateful to the subscribers who pointed out our mistakes and suggested solutions to the problems that arose. Now we are correcting ourselves and publishing our configuration option. It’s worth noting right away that everything is not as bad as we thought, but it’s not perfect either. In addition, everything listed below can be done on any other TV box, so Xiaomi Mi Box still has virtually no advantages over its competitors. Moreover, in our opinion, it still loses to the MX10 box, because the latter has 7 times more free memory (28 GB versus 4 GB for the Xiaomi Mi Box), 4 USB ports, a full-fledged Android with a normal market and Root rights , a slightly more powerful processor (though also not a fountain), an Ethernet port and a lot of other advantages. However, Mi Box also has the right to life, because, thanks to the recommendations of our subscribers, you can now quite comfortably watch movies online on it, even stream torrents, and the box also has a nice appearance and a good remote control that can be used quite well on an ongoing basis, but for absolute comfort it would still be much better to separately purchase a special remote control with a full keyboard, joystick and gyroscope (or touchpad).

Setup instructions

So, below is a list of steps that will make “candy” out of your Xiaomi Mi Box. Let's start from the very beginning (first launch):

Download the archive from the link. Unpack it onto a USB flash drive. Insert the flash drive into the TV box.

We turn on the TV box, connect it to the TV via HDMI and go through the initial setup: select the Russian language, connect WiFi, log into your Google account.

Go to settings - About device - System update - check for update.

Launch Google Play, install ES Explorer.

Launch ES Explorer, open the LeanKey + Rus installer from the flash drive.

Again, go to settings -> Applications -> System applications -> go to the end of the list -> select XiaomiLeanbackCustomizer - select “Disable notifications”, then click “Disable”, confirm and reboot the system.

Install MX Player (from a flash drive or Google Play). Required for some programs to work.

Install HD Video Box (from a flash drive or Google Play).

Install Movian (from a flash drive or Google Play).

In the Movian application, go to the Plugins section and install everything that may be useful to you (On-screen keyboard - Cyrillic, Video streaming - Rutor, etc.).

Functionality

Thus, just 2 applications (“HD Video Box” and “Movian”) can almost completely solve almost all problems and deploy a real multimedia station in your home. On the other hand, you become hostage to only two applications from, to put it mildly, not the most famous developers, and if these applications for some reason stop updating (and there are prerequisites for this), then the situation may become much less rosy. Of course, there are other alternatives, like the same “ProgTV” and others like it, but all of them cannot be compared. And when I decided to delve even deeper into the topic: create my own quick access library, change video decoding parameters, set up audio streaming through other wireless devices (not through a TV), etc. - I immediately started catching various errors and slowdowns, even freezing the application, so this whole story can be described as follows: installed and used. Changing some superficial additional parameters usually does not entail any sad consequences, but some deeper settings are extremely unstable and you should probably know about this before you decide to dive headfirst into this whole idea of ​​buying a TV box .

conclusions

In general, a TV box is certainly not just a toy, but a truly useful device that you will enjoy using for many years. As for the Xiaomi Mi Box, it’s a pretty good device that’s really capable of a lot. It is worth admitting that initially we greatly underestimated it and were wrong when we called it a useless device. On the other hand, other similar devices for the same money can offer you all the same, and even more. The only objective advantage of the device from Xiaomi is its remote control, but, as mentioned above, for real convenience it would still be much better to separately purchase a special 3-in-1 remote control for the box: keyboard (Russian/English) + game joystick + gyroscope ( or touchpad). Such a gadget will cost around $10 - $30 (depending on the model), and you will enjoy using it for several years.

The most compact device from the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi, the Mi Box Mini set-top box is a mini-computer based on a quad-core MediaTek Cortex A7 processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz.

“The set-top box has not only become smaller in size, but has also become an innovative device” - technology partner of Xiaomi, Wang Chuan.

How to provide the user with a more advanced device?

“Our goal was not to make the device smaller, we wanted the user to get an innovative set-top box. To do this, we had to abandon many traditional rules, for example, the power adapter, and the device has only one port for an HDMI cable, which makes it easy to use and at the same time very stylish,” - chief developer of Mi Box Mini Dai Ching Sun.

There is nothing complicated about this high-tech device.

“ The Mi Box Mini set-top box has three features:

The first feature is simplicity. We have thought many times about how to make it so thatthe consumer could easily install the Mi Box. While using this device, weWe decided to make only one nest. By connecting the device to power, children and the elderlycan easily start using it. There is no feeling of something incomprehensible and unknown.

The second is compactness. You can take the device with you on a trip, business trip, etc.like a mobile phone. And this will not cause you any inconvenience.

The third is inclusion. The device has only one input for the patch cable.You just need to connect the device to a power outlet or to the TV andforget about its presence “- motherboard engineer Chang Jiang.

How to place the power supply or motherboard into the devicesuch a small size?

“The Mi Box is only one-fourth the size of set-top boxes of yesteryear . For practicality, the power supply was placed inside the device.In addition, it was necessary to insert a distribution board and a plate radiator, butThe most important thing is to place the motherboard. Place a CPU in such a small device,internal memory DDR, internal memory eMMC, WIFI/Bluetooth and other 282 maincomponent was extremely difficult. In addition, to provide a WIFI signal, it is very difficultwas to place the plate needed to block external radiation interference.Therefore, we selected the smallest 0201 constituent elements, most ofwhich barely reaches 0.3mm.

We are always ready to take on a new challenge and successfully completeassigned tasks. Therefore, we can say that based on the technology of creationmobile phone, we invented the Mi Box Mini set-top box,” - thermal design engineer Ma Li Ji.

There are no holes for heat dissipation, how to achieve the best cooling effect in a confined space?

Repeated attempts to increase the area of ​​the aluminum plate radiator were crowned with success.

“The Mi Box device is a very small enclosed space, inside of which there is a motherboard and a distribution board with two heat sources. After many experiments, we found that the area of ​​the traditional aluminum plate heatsink is large enough to provide good cooling for the device. Thus, without affecting performance, in the internal limited space of the device, the aluminum plate heatsink has increased from 17mm to 30mm. Ultimately, we achieved significant temperature reduction with this cooling design:

38.1С 48.3С

At an ambient temperature of 23C At an ambient temperature of 24.5C

can play video 2 hours 1 hour entertainment

Numerous system optimizations guarantee trouble-free operation of the device and at the same time minimal power consumption.Despite the very small size of the Mi Box, it is in no way inferior to other large devices, since it is equipped with a 4-core processor, 4+2 cores GPU chip with improved characteristics. At the same time, to provide the consumer with a high-quality image, Mi Box uses a multi-layer fabric for a more saturated and colorful three-dimensional image. This is of course a huge load on the GPU, which contributes to high temperatures. Thus, the software developers optimized the temperature control system. Some functions were transferred from the GPU to the CPU, thereby making the work of the GPU easier. The Mi Box software adapts to the image on the screen, and if there is no image, it automatically reduces the frame rate. And after the user reactivates the device, he can immediately resume the required frame rate. This does not cause any inconvenience to the user, but on the contrary, significantly reduces power consumption and prevents the temperature of the device from increasing “- engineer Cheng Sheng Xiang.

Wideband design, stable and durable design regardless of the environment.

Thanks to the special power supply design and remote control via Bluetooth, the consumer can place the device in any place convenient for him. Even behind the TV, so the performance requirements for the Mi Box antenna are very high. WIFI in Mi Box can operate on two signals: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The signal in a conventional antenna depends on the environment, but Mi Box uses broadband technology, which is distinguished by its immunity to interference. Regardless of where the device is located, a stable signal is guaranteed.

Systematization of the device, Mi Box as part of the antenna.

“The main thing about antennas is their area. The larger the antenna, the stronger the signal. In Mi Box there is no longer any extra space for the antenna and it would seem that expanding the antenna area is no longer possible. Can the antenna only be made of copper or aluminum? People who have old TVs know that when the signal is bad, you need to pick up the antenna and raise the antenna, then the signal will become better. This proves that people can be part of an antenna, then why can't a plate radiator? Therefore, our innovative task was to make the aluminum plate heatsink part of the antenna. The plate radiator increases - the antenna increases, as a result of which the performance and efficiency of the antenna increases,” - antenna operation engineer Siu Thung Tshai.

The device is connected to power, is it safe?

5000 highest product safety certification requirements, 3000 hours capacity.

“The power supply and motherboard are placed very close to each other, the dimensions are very small, and the degree of complexity in the design of this device is unprecedented. In 3C product certification requirements for product safety, the main parts must be kept at a safe distance. The PCB device has an antenna whose main components have many limitations. Therefore, there are many other similar adapters on the market with an amplitude of 2000 meters above sea level, since in this case the product certification requirements for product safety are minimal. As a result of our long-term efforts, we have reached 5000 meters above sea level, adhering to the highest product safety requirements.

Three temperature protection systems of Mi Box:

1st layer: CPU 85 degrees (device case temperature 55C) the system software will automatically lower the temperature, reduce the operating frequency of the CPU and GPU processors, ensure an effective reduction in temperature.

2nd layer: CPU 105 degrees (device body temperature 70C) preliminary notification in the interface with a suggestion to turn off the device.

3rd layer: CPU 120 degrees (device case temperature 80C) automatic shutdown.
