Hello Tantan10,
even though I don't have a Swisscom subscription, I would still like to share my experience. I use both Huawei and Xiaomi devices, including a Xiaomi box, and have had no problems with my internet connections so far. The fact that Chinese chips are used in many devices does not necessarily mean that there are security issues. My experience with Huawei and Xiaomi has been consistently positive, and I have not encountered any "bugs" or similar issues. It could be that other factors were responsible for the problems with the previous Box model. A+
I can't quite understand your question, could you be more specific?

No, the box does not have a direct Ethernet connection. You can connect it via a compatible USB Ethernet adapter with a network cable, e.g. with Asix AX88179A chip. Make sure USB debug is disabled and ideally choose a USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter for stable 4K streaming. Recommended models are Ugreen or Amazon Basics Gigabit Ethernet adapters.

With the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) (8 GB, Android 11), you can stream the "Play SRF" and "Play Suisse" apps to the TV from a mobile phone, even if the apps are not directly available as Android TV versions. The Play SRF app is not available as a native Android TV app for German-speaking Switzerland, but you can stream content from your mobile to the box via Chromecast. The Play Suisse app can be installed on the Mi Box and also works well. Streaming is done via Chromecast technology, with the mobile phone serving as the control device and you can pause and rewind using the remote control or your mobile.

According to my research, this TV Box uses Google TV, and Sunrise TV can be installed on Android / Google TV.
Use a Web browser to download and install an apk. For Synology, do you use DS applications?

Using local servers like Jellyfin or Plex is possible on this type of streaming box, because it runs Android 11 and allows applications to be installed via the Google Play Store. This means you can download and use local streaming apps like Jellyfin or Plex, as long as they are compatible with Android TV. However, I don't have any specific information about the compatibility or performance of these apps on this particular model.

The sky app is not available on the Xiaomi box

The use of Sky Show via the box depends on whether Sky Show offers an app for Android TV that can be installed on the box. Since the box supports Android TV, you could use Sky Show if there is a corresponding app. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific information on whether Sky Show is available directly on this box. You could try installing the app via the Google Play Store if it is available.

The Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) with Google Assistant does not support an integrated web browser app that is directly available in the Google Play Store. However, you can install external browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox via APK files, which requires some technical knowledge. Alternatively, there are browsers specially developed for Android TV, such as TV Bro, which are well suited for use with a remote control and are available in the Google Play Store.

Yes, that is possible.

It works, but it's extremely complicated for elderly people because of the remote control with no keyboard.

In my opinion, there are two possibilities:
1. When you initially configured your Xiaomi box, you didn't choose the right country (Switzerland).
2. You are using a VPN with an IP that is not in Switzerland.
Please check.
Yes, download it from Google play.
Works perfectly

The audio output on the Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen is a hybrid port that can serve as both an analog 3.5mm port and a digital optical (SPDIF) port.

The Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) with Google Assistant runs on the Google TV operating system, which is based on Android. Although Google TV offers access to the Google Play Store, the installation of non-officially supported apps such as SmartTubeNext (an alternative to YouTube) is not possible directly via the Play Store.
However, such apps can be installed manually by downloading the APK file and installing it on the device. However, this requires several steps and can entail potential security risks, as the installation of apps outside the Play Store is not monitored by Google.
It is therefore technically possible to install SmartTubeNext, but it is important to consider the risks and the need for root permissions or other workarounds.
