Hi what is the best xbmc box to buy?

Thanks

You mean Kodi?

What do you want to use it for? DVD rips? 4K? Internet streaming?

Mainly watching full HD movie streaming and live tv

Thanks

I would say the Nvidia Shield. it's not the cheapest but spec wise and for furure proofing (4K output for Netflix / Youtube etc) it can't be beaten.

I have the shield, it's very good and the online game streaming works very well, so much so I sold my PS4

The Amazon Fire tv box,is a good option !

Depends on what you want it for. OP may not want the hassle of sideloading XBMC/Kodi onto the FireTV Box and may not want to use Plex.

(But, yes, I have 2x FireTV Sticks and have no doubt that the Box is a decent piece of kit based on my experiences with those.)

I use the Fire TV and yesterday the software was updated so that I can see Kodi on my apps so don't have the pain of going through settings/manage/launch. A few months ago I installed ES File support and you can download Kodi without sideloading.

So today Amazon Fire TV does become a sensible option fr those not technically informed and having to use adb etc. The other advantage I find using Kodi as opposed to Plex and Emby is that I do not require a server and can access my films, TV and media from my WD Cloud.

Really? I can't see Kodi anywhere on either of mine. Likewise on the Amazon app store online :/

Oh, hang on. I think I completely misread your message.

Any android box using the Amlogic chip.

I use a MS8 box.

Yup, sorted Kodi on the FireTV Stick pretty much using instructions here:
