Mi TV Stick HD is now available at Mascom International for KSh 7,000, ready to turn any television with an HDMI port into a streaming player. This compact Android TV device outputs Full HD 1080p video at 60 frames per second, runs on a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage, and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi. It carries built-in Chromecast and a Bluetooth voice remote with dedicated app buttons. Pick it up at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Built for Kenyan homes still running older flat-screen and box televisions, the Mi TV Stick HD adds Netflix, YouTube, Showmax, Amazon Prime Video, and thousands of Google Play apps to a set that never shipped with them. Families in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru use it to stream over Safaricom Home Fibre or Airtel home data. Students at Kenyatta University and USIU plug it into hostel TVs for late-evening viewing. Salon owners, waiting rooms, and small Airbnb hosts across the country rely on the Mi TV Stick HD to keep guests watching without buying a new television set.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock streaming dongles without warranty or setup help, Mascom International supplies the Mi TV Stick HD with a 12-month warranty and walk-in support at our Nairobi CBD store. Customers across Nairobi report that the Mi TV Stick HD pairs with a TV in minutes and holds a steady connection on home Wi-Fi. At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand from buyers upgrading older televisions on a tight budget. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to watch the Mi TV Stick HD running before you buy, or order today for countrywide delivery.
Common Questions About the Mi TV Stick HD
Is the Mi TV Stick HD worth KSh 7,000 in Kenya's market?
For most homes, yes. At KSh 7,000, the Mi TV Stick HD costs a fraction of a new Android TV set, which starts above KSh 25,000 in Nairobi. It converts a working television you already own into a streaming device with Netflix, YouTube, and Showmax built in. The Full HD 1080p output suits the screen size of most Kenyan living-room TVs. Buyers who only want to stream, rather than replace a working television, get the most value here. You pay once and keep your current screen.
What can the Mi TV Stick HD actually stream?
It runs Android TV 9.0 with full Google Play access, so you download Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Showmax, DStv Stream, Spotify, and thousands of other apps directly. Built-in Chromecast lets you cast video, music, and photos from your Android phone, iPhone, or laptop straight to the TV. The Bluetooth remote includes Google Assistant voice search, so you speak a title instead of typing. Local Kenyan apps and live-TV services that publish on Google Play install the same way. App availability depends on each service operating in Kenya.
Will the Mi TV Stick HD work on my older non-streaming TV?
Yes, as long as the television has a free HDMI port. The Mi TV Stick HD plugs into HDMI for picture and sound, then draws power from the included adapter through its micro USB port. An HDMI extension cable is included for TVs where the back panel sits flush against a wall or cabinet. Most flat-screen televisions sold in Kenya from around 2010 onward include at least one HDMI input. The stick adds streaming apps to that set without any extra receiver or box.
How do I set up the Mi TV Stick HD at home?
Setup takes a few minutes. Plug the stick into an HDMI port, connect the power adapter to a wall socket, and switch the TV to that HDMI source. Pair the Bluetooth remote when prompted, connect to your home Wi-Fi, and sign in with a Google account. From there you install apps from Google Play and start watching. Our Nairobi CBD team can walk you through the steps over the phone, and the included guide covers each stage. No technician visit is needed.
Does the Mi TV Stick HD handle Safaricom Home Fibre and other Kenyan networks?
Yes. The Mi TV Stick HD connects over dual-band Wi-Fi at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, covering Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba, JTL, and standard router connections. The 5GHz band gives steadier 1080p streaming when your router supports it and sits in the same room. For mobile data, pair it with a Safaricom or Airtel MiFi or phone hotspot. Streaming Full HD video uses roughly 3GB per hour, so home fibre or an uncapped bundle suits heavy viewing far better than a small daily data bundle.
What video and audio quality does the Mi TV Stick HD output?
The Mi TV Stick HD outputs Full HD 1080p at 60 frames per second over HDMI, matching the native resolution of most Kenyan living-room televisions. It decodes VP9, H.265, and H.264 video, the formats Netflix and YouTube use, so playback stays sharp without stutter on a stable connection. For sound, it passes Dolby Audio and DTS surround tracks through HDMI to a soundbar or home theatre system. On a standard TV, audio plays through the set's own speakers. Picture quality holds steady up to 1080p; it does not output 4K.
How does the Mi TV Stick HD compare to a Chromecast or a new Android TV?
The Mi TV Stick HD does more than a basic casting dongle. Where an older Chromecast only mirrors content from a phone, the Mi TV Stick HD runs a full Android TV interface with its own apps and remote, so it works without a phone nearby. Against a brand-new Android TV set costing KSh 25,000 and up, it reuses your existing screen for KSh 7,000. The trade-off is the 1080p ceiling and a single 8GB storage pool, which suits streaming rather than heavy gaming or large app libraries.
What's included with the Mi TV Stick HD, and can it reach my county?
The retail box holds the Mi TV Stick HD, a Bluetooth voice remote, a power adapter, a micro USB power cable, an HDMI extension cable, and a user guide. Two AAA batteries for the remote are typically included. Mascom International delivers countrywide with pay-on-arrival, so you only pay once the package reaches you. Nairobi and its surroundings often receive same-day delivery, major towns get it within one business day, and the furthest counties within two to three days. Buy in person at Kimathi Street or order by phone.
