Android tv box wanted, buying advice
khampson

Hi I am wanting a android tv box to stream tv shows via apps, I also would like to install a few apps from the play store, I want to stream full 1080p HD videos with no lag or picture skip or stutter, I have a budget of around £100, hopefully I can get cheaper.

What is the best box to buy? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

If not sure, stick to Fulfilled by Amazon, at least the CS is great and you will get your money back if any problems.

I have a couple of MK808B plus android sticks.

Put OpenElec Kodi on a micro SD card and flash the device.
Then get the silenceROM wizard, which is a skin that sits on Kodi.
Then install all your add-on zip files and enjoy.

It would help to get a keyboard/mouse all in one device too.

They cost £24 from Amazon and £10 for the keyboard.

Trust me they are fantastic!!

I think most boxes over £30 have pretty much the same set up and performance, there's no need to spend over the top

Have you thought about a firestick, £35. Flawless HD playback via Kodi and support Amazon and APK apps.

An Amazon Fire stick loaded with Kodi and a small selection of quality add ons such as Exodus, Phoenix, Zemtv, DC Sports should give all most people need.
In addition to Kodi you can also install Mobdro to the stick.

Found mobdro a pain to control with firestick remote, its interface is really design for a touchscreen device.

Not sure if you got a box yet or not but Entertainment Box apparently sell good android tv boxes with good after care support.

They are a bit dearer but offer warranty and support that you wouldn't get if you bought one from eBay.
