Sounds West Indian accent to me. I am also West Indian. Great video as always brother. Don't change the voice. Be proud.
OK thanks
Hi Nick, the new voice sometimes speaks too fast with an accent, it is also not too loud. I have to raise my volume almost to the max to hear it fine. The previous voice was much better. Keep up the good work.
I am new to using my own voice so bear with me as I am still tweaking and learning, it is difficult but viewers urged me to go this way. Yes the human mind has grown to accept the presenter style US type of voice and Accent as seen in many TV ads and in other similar videos, but there was always the disconnect between the voice and the ethnicity. I hope with time I can improve or I still have the option to switch back if the need be.
Oh. I see. Please take your time. :-)
@@tvboxstop Hi, I just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos much more with your real voice than with the digital reproduction. A little bit of your personality can come through your writing, but so much more can come through your voice. We don't speak with the same accent, and I think that just makes the world more interesting. :)
Amlogic s905x3 is a legend for emulation retro.
It depends who manufactured the chipset. Poor design can lead to overheating and hardware failure
@@tvboxstop I have H96 max X3 3 years ago, still works.
I play sometimes Snes, ps1 and n64.
Thanks for Your videos.
Glad to see you had a video out Nick! Stay Safe out there and keep up the Great Work my friend!!
Yea China is now opening back up, but shipping ports around the world are in a mess, so boxes are really slow to come now.
Amazing review brother NICK. That's a nice box. Keep bringing the awesome content. Hope you are staying safe with all the chaos going on in the world. Hope you enjoy your day. RESPECT brother
Thanks Tim shipping of boxes are being affected by airport restrictions so I am slow to in delivering videos
@@tvboxstop Stay safe brother
Any owners?
Does installing libreelec give truhd pass through support?
I can't answer because I have not tried it. However if the box has passthrough under Android with the VLC player, it will have under CoreElec, not sure for Libreelec
What's that filelinked bulk downloader @ 10:50 that installs the TV/movie apps?
OK I assume you don't know and that's fine. It's an app you download from their website, you install it and enter a key code provided to you to access a private space where the owner of that space will have downloads to all sorts of popular apks that they update themselves. There are hundreds of bulk users and they provide they key by searching for them on TH-cam. Download the Filelinked APK here -www.filelinked.com/ and use this key to start 64539676 and you can enter a new key anytime. Dismiss any popups when you enter and scroll down to the Movies and TV shows section and install what you like. The last key you entered will remain on the app until you decide to to enter a new one.
Been having the box for couple of days and WiFi it's very fast but only find it hard to move around with the remote they provided, any recommendation on a air remote to make things easier? Btw how to get rid off that green icons? Thanks, what about that bottom bar that just pop up?
The G30 Airmouse is good, but my favorite is the one with the keyboard to the back in this page - tvboxstop.com/air-mouse-page/
The navigation bar is called Menu Button on the play store. I used to have video tutorial on my website but I will have to redo that video. You can get it here - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jettoast.menubutton&hl=en
@@tvboxstop thank you very much for you're feedback reply helpful, but after using popcorn or mobdro after around 30 min it stop playing and have to press play again, any thoughts on that? Thank you
I've been trying to connect a USB encoder to this H96 box. But when I do the board lights up red the LEDs light up on the buttons. But I can't get the buttons to do anything. What do you think may be the causing this
Incompatibility or the box unable to provide adequate power to the device. It also signal a short.
You forgot one thing if you do a storage test ie test to how fast the read times are you will find this box is using a very low storage read and writes and they have compromised also with storage. I have this box also. Compare to other price boxes in the class its very bad to see them compromised on this part.
It's not that bad, come on I've seen much worst.
hi plz i wanna know how you get the tools bar scrine (power.home scrine .volume + -)
See it here - tvboxstop.com/menu-button-navigation-bar-for-tv-boxes/
why there is no 4k 60fps or 4k 60hz in the display setting? and sir is the air mouse with voice command working here in this tv box?
I don't know why
@@tvboxstop thank you sir
Hey Nick, great video, seems you from the U S, will this box work as well in any country ?
Yes it will in other countries you need to change the language settings, and they will also send the appropriate pin type power adapter
So what's the difference between this a firestick?
That's a long discussion. The Firestick is Android TV OS and this is mobile version of Android 9. In terms of hardware the H96 Max X3 has more power than the Firestick to sort of sum it up
Great demonstration 👍🏼 any idea to make the display Time on the front brighter, because it's so dim. And I'm only 2m away from it.
I thought so too but there is no settings for that
TV Box Stop ok cheers mate
Just Received mine today. Works good. No complaints about performance..... except that I cannot install apps from the Playstore. It just keeps saying "installing" but does nothing.
Any ideas on this?
Yes it's a recent issue that has been happening with TV boxes. Install APKpure and approve all the permissions. Opening the hamburger menu and under leads you will see the Google play store or update anything Google updated you will be prompted to what some ads, but close them off when finished and continue with updating Google. When it is complete work on the Google play store and on the apps and games update any further updates. Then you will be able to present.
Can it be connected to a 5.1 channel av receiver hdmi arc for audio and video output?
It can be connected to a 5.1 AV receiver using HDMI passthrough. How the ARC feature on you TV will work I will not know.
Hey what's the name if that live wallpaper you use for your testing
See it here - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fishnoodle.koipond_free&hl=en
is there anyway to install notification bar? and is it possible to show currently opened apps just like on mobile phone, what is it called, app drawer? anyway it displays the currently openned apps and we can scroll and choose the app to switch
This is your only alternative at this time. There are others on the play store but don't work quite the same - tvboxstop.com/snowball-notifications-bar/
An other great review brother👏... Stay safe😷
Thanks bro, you too
Great video!!! How can I get the fish pond live wall paper that was shown in the video?
On the play store - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fishnoodle.koipond_free&hl=en
Thank you verry much
Just wanted to ask what would you recommend, this H96 Max X3 or X96 Max+ S?
I like rooted device.
I would say the X96 Max+ in the better model, but it's not rooted. So you will have to go with the H96 Max X3 if that's inportant to you.
In your x96 max+ video you said the device is rooted but there is no root switch. That's what I didn't understand. I need root to remove unwanted ads from some apps. I really liked the x96 max+ thanks to your video.
Yes sorry my bad I made an error there. It's rooted with no switch. So the X96 is the better of the two
You are really great I will order the x96+ I remember your advice to never download or update supersu. Thank you again
Yes don't do it
Great review, is there a gamepad or air mouse you would recommend for these boxes?
My preference in gamepads has always been the PXN brand because of the quality built and the ability to connect both via dongle and via Bluetooth. - tvboxstop.com/bluetooth-gamepads/
@@tvboxstop Thanks bud I'll check it out.
Can we add an SD card to it and install Apps on the SD Card ?
Yes you can
Hi, do you think there is some way how to fix the 4K/60 missing issue? With flashing new firmware or another way?
A firmware update can fix this issue once you get one.
Very good review!!, Keymapp app for Pes 2020??
Yes used Panda Gamepad Pro (paid), Octopus kept crashing
Great review, As always. Thanks very much.
Were you using the remote from the box during the video, or something else?
Which would you advise on using with this box (with link if possible)
Thanks again.
I always use a PC mouse to create my videos. I use an air-mouse in the living-room. I hardly ever use the stock remote.
@@tvboxstop Thanks for your reply. That is why I asked for the specific one you recommend, that gives you joy to use.
The G30 is the most compatible I discovered, and the mouse pointer is accurate. So I recommend
Hello, I bought this tvbox when I saw your review because it moves the call of duty and it has good benefits in general.
The problem I have is that it installs the call of duty perfectly but when I start it it remains on a screen with two options to cancel or accept, and I cannot press any of the options, neither with the controller nor with gamepad keyboards etc.
What can I do, thank you.
That's where Gamepad keymapping comes in. Use octopus mapper and map mouse and keyboard buttons to touch screen functions. I have to make a video for this as more and more viewers are having difficulty. Don't use on PUBG it will get you banned. Panda mouse pro beta is the only one that can work with pubg
@@tvboxstop Thank you very much for answering so quickly and so clearly.
I'm going to try it with the Octopus, although I'd like to see how it's done if that video is uploaded soon. Thanks again.
I just tried to use and saw a $1.44 fee to install the plugin for Android so that may apply to you also
@@tvboxstop Hello, I have used the Panda gamepad pro app and I have managed to load the game even though I am using the ps4 controller, I will have to reconfigure the buttons. I need your help for that.
In the mobile if the perfect ps4 controller works without configuring anything. I've had a couple of forced closures.
Hello mate.
I have managed to play 100% Call of duty with the ps4 controller. Using panda gamepad pro just to be able to touch the screen at the beginning of the game.
When the game starts, I touch the panda icon at the top of the screen and the icon turns off and let's play.
Thanks a lot.
Now I'm trying Gear Club. It installs perfectly but does not recognize the ps4 controller, nor with panda .... what can it be?
3:14 So it is not possible to set 4k60hz? 30hz in the launcher sounds laggy.
Yep that's a con
I think they can update it in the future through system update. the chip support up to 8K@25, 4K@75.
compared with x96 max plus w/ the same ram and internal memmory , which one do u prefer sir ?
The X96 Max+ would be my choice
alright thank you sir , gbu
Hey Nick which app do u use to get the bottom navigation bar.
It's called Menu Button - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jettoast.menubutton&hl=en
which one is better the H96 Max X3 or the HK1 ?
I need help please
HK1
If the hard drive speed is one of the down sides, any chance of replacing it?
OK, so you are thinking of a TV box like PC. In fact it has the same hardware concept, but only that everything is integrated into one mini mainboard with no way of upgrading anything.
Good rivew, which media player is good for playing DTS 4k movies in this box
VLC PLayer inthe settings area under Audio check the box that says "allow audio passthrough"
What does the button beside the home button on the remote do? Please someone tell me.
That's a menu button. It will only work to access the menu of certain apps.
TV Box Stop thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thank you very much. This button was getting on my nerves
TV Box Stop some annoying alert sound happens even when I'm watching a video. Can you please tell me how to solve that problem
Hey Guy... Great review... i know Minix Neo T5 review please sir..... Minix Neo T5 Lets go review . I hope you are review Minix Neo T5
Will try no promises though in this very slow period.
Hi Nick great review your accent are you from Jamaica?
Not Jamaica but close lol
We set in to AV receiver or home theater on spidf pcm mode or spidf auto mode which one is best for Dolby and DTS audio pls reply sir....
You cannot get Dolby/DTS over optical SPDIF, its has been proven scientifically. So connect you TV box via HDMI passthrough to achieve Dolby/DTS
@@tvboxstop tnk sir but I have a small doubt sir my TV shows 2 sound options in sound settings.
1. Spdif pcm
2. Spdif auto
Which one is best for sound experience like Dolby DTS....
So it doesn't run 60fps?
No it doesn't
Hello 😎
H96 MAX X3 Advantage With 128gb Space & 1K LAN Speed VS A95X F3 ?
✅ Please Advise Which Is Most Recommended By You Guys & WHY ?
Thanks In Advance 🙏
I can't make a propper comparison because two of my benchmark apps failed to give good readings. But these two boxes are about the same. The F3 however has the better firmware
This one or the x96 max air?
This one is better, it has better cooling of course
What's up Nick always a great review thanks, and may I.know if we can fix a bootloop H96 max x3 without a pc can we just flash via recovery? Thank you
It can be done using the SD burn card method. But you still need a PC or laptop to create the bootable SD card. When you encounter a bootloot you must flash to recover recovery mode does not work.
@@tvboxstop thanks Nick for answering, yes it cannot reset even i go to recovery , I think I really need to do what you are saying about burn sdcard thing, though I am.not familiar with those Pc method for now but thanks
Nick your reviews are outstanding keep up the good work... can you use an external hard drive for this box and what is the maximum sd card that you can use?
You can use up to 64GB max on SD but on USB I believe it can read up to 2TB
FreakTab has a user made androidTV "test" firmware for the HK1 tvbox, that should also work with this box if you use the license file in USB Burning Tool, search PureFusionTV or S905x3+firmware in the forum.freaktab.com
Thanks for sharing Richard
At the same forum there is also a custom rom,that does the box flying.Look after slimbox or vortex rom
what kind of game controller do you use ? may i have the name ? and also any other good controller fully compatible with android tv box ? thank you so much
I use the PXN3 - tvboxstop.com/bluetooth-gamepads/
how easy is it to navigate using the stock remote
It's like any other TV box, but really I recommend an air-mouse
Do you know the external HDD size's supported?
With the S905X3 models it read any external sizes however you are limited to 2TB that you can convert to shared internal storage
Will a usb webcam work on this tv box? Im planning to buy this for online class
I don't have a definite answer because webcams can be tricky. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Some windows webcams require drivers and a lot of Android apps don't interact with them from a plug and play standpoint. I just took my Jellycomb webcam and plugged it into the Magicsee N6 Plus and it works with third party apps like USB webcam. But with apps like Skype I get nothing.
Ok, thank you for answering, this really helped me plan what to buy
@@tvboxstop does it support usb wired keyboard and mouse?
Hi there, nice review, one question: For emulation, this or A95 X F3?
Can't say they have the same performance. However, I favor the A95X F3 as a TV Box
@@tvboxstop Excelente, gracias por la quick answer, saludos!
Sin problemas en cualquier momento
H96 max X3 has a higher clockspeed
Tv Box Top, Good morning friend, I am looking for a box that is best to run my movies and shows that I have on my 2tb external hd, are ISO and MKV 1080p and 4k files both at 30fps and 60fps, could this box suit me well? or would mi box s be more suitable? a big hug!!
A95X F3 I recommend
Hello do you know how to solve the problem (playback video decoding error )? Thanks 🙏🏾
What video player are you using?
@@tvboxstop I use chrome and I want to see web tv
Try Firefox browser it streams better than Chrome
@@tvboxstop thanks it’s work 💯💯
Well that made my day 👍👍👍
Hi, thanks for another great review. Do you recommend this box for playing Roblox and Among Us? I managed to get the refund of the Tanix TX6s I bought a few days ago thanks to the chat history with the seller where I mentioned about playing Roblox. It was super laggy to play Roblox, and couldn't even open Among Us. This box is within my budget range.
Yes it's good also look at the A95X X3 RGB as a better gamer.
@@tvboxstop thank you so much,, will do
@@tvboxstop I could not find the A95X X3 in your videos, did you mean F3?

Hola, en el minuto 11:30 pones el vídeo en 4k, yo no puedo, sólo me aparece 1080p, gracias, LIKE y me suscribo
De acuerdo, primero necesita un televisor 4K conectado a la caja para que aparezca la opción de resolución 4K en la configuración de pantalla. En segundo lugar, si ya tiene un televisor 4K conectado a la caja, abra la sección de aplicaciones e ingrese a la configuración de Droid. En la configuración del Droid, ingrese la configuración de pantalla y cambie la resolución a 4K 30hz. 3:13
Can it play 1080p AV1 videos without lag?
1080p videos are OK with this box
Ugoos am6 plus way better....
Indeed
TV BOX STOP,
are you doing the review with the original control or with an air mouse?
Hi Cassiano, always use a wireless PC mouse to conduct my videos.
@@tvboxstop tank you for respost, my intention is the android box exclusive from kodi, this use external storage 1tb from movies and shows in formats MKV, ISO 1080p and 4k this boxet h96 is very good from kodi? our this best from kodi is mibox s our nvidia shield? a big hug!
i just bought this box off amazon for $90.00 CDN just found this video, wondering how ripped off i got? lol looks like its not worth the almost 100 bucks i might return it for a refund when i get it.
any suggestions on better boxes for around 100$

OK will see what I can do. No right away, but I will put it on the bucket list. I have an old video th-cam.com/video/TNAql4SapQ4/w-d-xo.html but it will not work for PUBG, it will get you banned.
The method is the same for the other apps, just that the ones approved to play PUBG are paid apps, small fee $3.99 pay it once and it activates both apps. Octopus is free and is from the same developers, just that is cannot play PUBG but will play all the others, and it can map both Keyboard and gamepad.

we bought this unit. It has already failed. wired wifi out. optical out.
That's a shame! I wonder if H96 is still around or rebranded to a different name?

No it's not
Screen casting support krta h kya ye box
Yes it supports screen casting Airscreen app
Netflix in FHD?
Sorry no Netflix only basic 480p
!!!ATENÇÃO!!!NÃO COMPREM, TERÃO DOR DE CABEÇA COM ESTÁ BOX!!!
O aparelho possui configurações interessantes mais na prática é decepcionante!
Pontos negativos , a maioria dos aplicativos não é possível baixar na Playstore, aplicativos como TH-cam, gmail, Amazon prime, Netflix, call of duty mobile e etc etc etc etc .
Em contra partida a recepção wi-fi tem que ter no mínimo 5 metros de distância, distância maior que isso não flui de jeito nenhum, a proposta da box é boa mais os pontos negativos são terríveis .
Obrigado por compartilhar
This one or HK1 Box ?
The HK1 Box
@@tvboxstop The HK1 Box had a non functioning root switch and some games throttled and this box had no issues... other than the higher benchmarks for the HK1 why would you choose it over the H96 max x3?
Apply a cooling fan and see the difference, the throttling is due to the heat due to those tiny holes. The root switch works, switch and restart the box to activate
@@tvboxstop I'm pretty sure in your review that you said the root switch didn't work even when you restarted the box... did I misunderstand?
