Not just now but i've ordered one and just waiting for it to arrive.
Be interesting to see how it runs vs Kodi Openlec on my Pi2All your base are belong to us.0 -
There are quite a few out there and it seems to be a bit of a minefield.
I've seen a couple that look ok from what a review site has said. One is Tonbux MXQ and the DroidBox. Just can't decide which model to get.0 -

Not sure what you actually mean by TV box .
I have a Matricom Q box that runs Android viewed through my TV .
That includes a web browser etc .
I also run Kodi media centre on it .0 -

Sounds like the same thing I'm looking for. Looked on a review site called best android TV box and 2 brands stuck out, the mxq and the droidbox T8.
A friend of mine told me about these boxes. He has an mxq but has had it a couple of years, so I'm looking for an updated version. Just can't decide which to buy.0 -
Can't remember the exact one i went for but had 16GB ROM space, 2GB RAM and quad core 2Ghz cpu.All your base are belong to us.0

I use Kodi on the Amazon Firestick. Little bit of lag between screens but certainly works quite well. I've got all the Sky Movies channels for free, thousands of movies and TV programs. It is very techy and a little frustrating at times when things aren't working as they should...not for everyone. The Firestick on it's own with Amazon Prime is still quite good though.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.
