Fixing problems on Xiaomi Mi Box & TV Stick
The box gets warm and the picture lags
Place the box in the open, not behind the TV. A restart (briefly unplug the power cable) clears the memory.
Low storage
Delete apps you don’t need and clear TiviMate’s cache in the settings.
Wi-Fi keeps dropping
Use your router’s 5 GHz Wi-Fi and place the box as close to the router as possible.
