Xiaomi’s set-top box is coming soon, and that means that after a long wait, we’re finally starting to see some of them out in the real world. The folks at Sohu Digital got their hands on one and were kind enough to share a bunch of photos that demonstrate the device’s capabilities. Let’s have a look, shall we?
Here’s what the thing looks like plugged in in front of a big HDTV.

You can also connect a USB thumb drive to the Xiaomi TV box, and even stream content to other devices locally via DLNA.

There’s not really much here we didn’t already know about, but it’s still interesting to see the box finally in action in the wild. Does this look like the sort of thing you’d buy?
