In this video we walk you through the initial setup and configuration of the Xiaomi Mi Box Android TV 4K HDR Streaming Box.

More and more content is delivered via the internet, whether we're talking about video, pay tv, Netflix, Hulu, music or even games. Xiaomi is well known as a discount manufacturer of devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops. They have expanded their reach into the world of set-top boxes with their Android TV-powered Mi Box 4K HDR Streaming Box.

Coming in at a low, low $69.99 price tag the Mi Box definitely undercuts the competition in-terms of cost, but thinking of the Mi Box as "cheap" versus inexpensive may or may not be accurate.

From the box the Mi Box includes the Mi Box itself, an HDMI cable, power cord, 2-AAA batteries and a bluetooth-equipped remote control. In our box we also got coupons for free Sling TV service, discounts on other services along with the manuals and quickstart guides.

Initial setup is simple and straight forward thanks to the Mi Box's use of Android TV software. Once you have the HDMI cable and power cord plugged in you'll begin the software setup and configuration. One thing I found very odd is that the remote did not come out of the box paired to the system. I realize that they are trying to cut corners every where possible but this just seemed unnecessary and a poor customer experience. When was the last time you bought a television that you needed to pair the stock remote to the TV? Exactly. Pairing was easy and once paired you are taken through the rest of the setup process. This is made very easy with the use of an Android Phone equipped with Google Home as it logs you right in and verifies everything right on the phone. Pretty simple.

Once you get signed in you'll want to dive into the settings menu and see if there is a software update available; there was on our test unit. From here sign into your different streaming apps, download what other apps you need and go to down!

Do you pay monthly subscription on this device? Like every other tv cable or it’s free once you connect to a WiFi ?
