Best Android TV Dongle?
What is/are the better ones available with all the 'good stuff'
? Also do these things come with browsers? I don't want to be limited to the apps but I'm wondering if they all come with browsers and if they work ok, like flash/video content for example?My main passions are football and new movies and American TV. Thanks

Thanks ![]() But the real fun begins once you install xbmc, there are loads of add os for that you can watch pretty much any live sport from all around the world all for free. you also get other premium channels $ky etc but they pop on and off on a daily basis, and all the movies and tv shows all for free. Google xbmc (i think its called KODI now), and video add ons to go with it, sports devil, navi-x, are great starting points, you may be able to download a xbmc with all add ons already installed, and your stick may come preinstalled with all the add ons you will ever need. If you arent going to play games, the stick doesnt need to be that powerfull, most will play 1080p video files just fine. |

Thanks Gordie.
What I'm trying to get my head around is what determines the video playback. Is it the software itself or the stick? Will all sticks be able to view all video formats if the required apps are installed? |

Also the hardware will determine what can be plugged in, so you will need a usb port of some kind if you wanted to plug hard drives or wireless controllers in. But from the software side of things, the cheapest device will play the same content as the most expensive, its just a matter of judging what you will use the device for, if its modern games then you need a good spec one, if its video and a few games here and there, the spec aint that important.## One thing though, if you want 1080p make sure the device outputs in that res, some only output in 720p and need a firmware upgrade to achieve 1080p. |
