Design & Appearance

The Tanix TX5 Max TV Box does not have a design as typical and modern as that of other media players. The most detailed area is the front panel because a feature that stands out is a small LCD screen. Of course, this is not useless, because the important information and the current time can be seen immediately. The wifi antenna is outside, not inside, but it’s pretty good anyway. In terms of size, it is tiny, with dimensions of 10.90 x 10.90 x 2.10 cm and a weight of 180g. It is quite massive, it does not have a fragile casing because the quality of construction is fair and good enough.

Among the included accessories we have an IR remote control. It is a normal piece, fortunately of good quality. All the necessary buttons are in it, and of course, the red button is the on/off switch. It works as it should, with two AAA batteries.
