i recently bought a mi box 4k impulsively from a fellow-member here, but now thinking to move over to something that supports surround sound audio streams, like the firestick 4k & airtel xstream box. am already a user of airtel xstream fiber & landline, so to me the xstream box would cost only 1500/- deposit and that too is refundable. should i buy it?
i heard from a friend that the UI of the xstream box is not very responsive or smooth. is that true?
i dont watch dth except some news channels sometimes. however we have a tata sky hd+ at home since years as my mother watches dth channels. so the xstream box will take its place. a recorder is must for me & i got to know from airtel that the xstream box does have it. my mother doesnt live in india but since the lockdown has been stuck here. she'll move back in a couple of months' time, & then i'll use the xstream box solely for OTT-viewing (amzn prime usually). till now before getting the mi box, i had been using my xbox one to watch this. but using a remote supplied with mi box/xstream box/firestick is anyday better than using the xb1 controller i thought, and indeed found it so too.
so can anybody pls tell whether the UI of xstream box is responsive and gives good user-experience, as well as about surround-sound support?
