朝鲜流媒体机顶盒Manbang界面图赏：这很MIUI TV - 朝鲜,流媒体 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 朝鲜在日前推出了新一代流媒体电视机顶盒Manbang，功能上支持流媒体直播电视、按需点播视频内容以及浏览网上报纸文章等。近日有媒体曝光了Manbang的界面图，从图上我们基本可以断定该机顶盒采用了Android并经过深度定制，界面是则是类似小米盒子的UI风格，整体毫无违和感。

内容方面，朝鲜电视观众可以观看电视机顶盒当中的政治新闻和宣传片、体育与纪录片、一些朝鲜本土的合规电视剧也可以直接观看，并且支持拖动进度条，与国内的电视盒子相差并不大。

不过令人意外的是，这款电视盒子支持直接打开浏览器浏览网页，从截图上显示的内容来看应该是本地局域网络，浏览器是基于Google Chrome改造得来，相较于国内的制度来说，朝鲜官方机顶盒支持“上网”功能实属不易，值得点赞。

事实上在Manbang之前，朝鲜部分群众已经开始使用来自中国生产的机顶盒观看走私碟片以及U盘内容，朝鲜推出Manbang也是针对朝鲜人们日益增长的物质文化需求的一个妥协。
