Suggest an android box for Full HD TV with audio out for external speakers.

[Zero7]

You can always connect audio out from TV to amp. Audio from Firestick will pass through TV to home theater system. That's how I use it currently.

(just for info :I am one of the early adopters of streaming device and in the past 12 years technology has changed drastically. I had built a HTPC from scratch and had 4 TB storage and it is controlled by a Harmony remote. DVB-S and DVB - T card was being used too. Had XBMC (now Kodi) and DVB Viewer SW running. All packed and kept in attic now due to failure of graphic card and no time to fix. Coming from there to now, things have been made very simple and user friendly)
Depending on your appetite for risk, you can order Mi Box from China or play safe with Amazon Firestick.
Mi Box will have more customization options where as Firestick has limited ability to customize as you can't root it.
However you can side load many apps in Fire stick.

Plz don't compare mi box with airtel. It's a totally different concept. Mi box is android based with less or no limitations, airtel box is bound to be used as a device which will felicitate airtel dth channels using internet.

Edit: you appear to be new to this. And we're happy to help you. so my suggestion would be fire tv stick. As it has established a good customer base "in India". Has support from amzn and community.

Mi box is a great device but it's not directly sold by xiaomi in India hence no support plus ordering from aliexpress or gearbest or banggod always had the risk of u getting a fake product and a heavy custom duty.

Thanks bro.

You can install the apk of YouTube app.

Youtube is available via browser with youtube app acting as bookmark.
I havn't noticed any difference after official app removal.

By the way what kind of external speakers we talking about. Samsung tv got 3.2mm audio jack output.
