Larry_LCFC Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 Its funny actually, Ive spent the last 3 or 4 days researching android boxes and speaking to people. Conclusion: Don't buy cheap, you'll regret it. The cheaper boxes are incredibly laggy through the menus and frustrating to use. My Zoomtak T8 arrived from ebay today. Bit more expensive than the £50 I was originally gonna spend, but I am so chuffed with it. The quality is superb and its really fast and easy to use. Plus it came preloaded and jailbroken which is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 I've got Kodi sideloaded onto an Amazon Fire box and a cheap quad core android box up in the bedroom and to be honest I don't think there's a noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenfox Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 Slightly off topic maybe but I know nothing about this kind of thing. I'm looking for a digibox that can be used without an aerial so just over wifi. Is this the kind of thing you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can watch literally every movie/tv show/channel in existence through a program called Kodi on an android box. One of my addons has 600+ channels from around the world.

You can download the program onto your computer if you want to try first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 16 July 2015 Share Posted 16 July 2015 I'm really interested in getting one of these, can you hook it up straight through Ethernet? or is it WIFI only? Either or mate. Always going to be more stable plugged in but the T8 has a pretty good wifi reception too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 16 July 2015 Share Posted 16 July 2015 I'm in 2 minds about starting a Kodi thread. do you think there'd be much interest? should it be in here or general chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 17 July 2015 Share Posted 17 July 2015 I won a competition in May to win an android box and it arrived today. I didn't realise it was an MXq. Very good box with the droidplayer set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousefox Posted 17 July 2015 Share Posted 17 July 2015 I'm in 2 minds about starting a Kodi thread. do you think there'd be much interest? should it be in here or general chat?This would be great. I've been using ice films which has been fine but I struggle when i want to watch something a little more obscure/old. Any other good add ons to help with that?Also I went to most of our games once NBC stopped working for streaming so advice on football add ons for next season would be ideal.

ousefox Posted 17 July 2015 Share Posted 17 July 2015 Plus I just use Xbmc on my laptop and connect through an hdmi cable. Is there any reason why I investing in a box may be a better idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 17 July 2015 Share Posted 17 July 2015 1channel primewire and genesis are superb for films and shows. Iptv stalker is bloody brilliant for live tv. About 500 channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
