Xiaomi TV Box S — Make Any Television Smart
An Android TV box is the cheapest sensible answer to “my TV is fine but it isn’t smart”. Plug it into any HDMI port on any television made in the last fifteen years and that set now runs Netflix, YouTube, Showmax, Prime Video and everything else in the Google Play Store. You spend two hundred and fifty thousand instead of two million.
The 3rd generation Xiaomi is the one worth buying. It runs proper Google TV rather than a cut-down Android build, it handles 4K with Dolby Vision, and it has 32GB of storage so you are not deleting apps to install new ones. The cheap boxes on the market run out of space in a month.

Why An Android TV Box Beats Buying A New Smart TV
Smart platforms age badly. A television bought five years ago has a smart system that is now slow, missing apps, and no longer receiving updates — while the panel itself is perfectly good. Replacing the whole set to fix the software is throwing away a working screen.
A box separates the two. When the software gets old in four years, you replace a small box instead of a television. That is the entire argument, and it is a good one.
What you need to make it work
An HDMI port on the television and a reasonably stable internet connection. Streaming 4K needs real bandwidth — on a phone hotspot you will get buffering and burn through data fast. On fixed home internet it is smooth.
It pairs particularly well with a non-smart set like our 32 inch Smart Plus digital TV. Together they cost less than most smart televisions and work better. Add a soundbar and you have a complete setup.
Note this Android TV box does not replace a free-to-air decoder — it streams over the internet, it does not tune an aerial. If you want local channels you still need a set with a built-in tuner or a separate decoder. Most of our customers run both.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is an Android TV box in Uganda?
This Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen is UGX 255,000, down from UGX 290,000. That is far less than the price gap between a digital television and a smart one, which is the whole argument for buying an Android TV box.
Will an Android TV box give me local channels?
No. An Android TV box streams over the internet — it does not tune an aerial. For free-to-air Ugandan channels you still need a set with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner or a separate decoder. Most customers run both.
Does it work on any television?
Any set with an HDMI port, which covers almost everything made in the last fifteen years. You also need reasonably stable internet, because 4K streaming needs real bandwidth.
