I wouldn't recommend the M8 anyway, but especially not @ €95.

Price aside, what's your issue with the M8 Ally?

I bought an MX3 ~ 2gb a few months ago and have had absolutely no issues with it.
Ebay job.

You must have got stung with the 1gb ram version because the 2 m8's I have in the house run smoother than any tv box I've tried and I've tried them all.

No, I knew how bad the 1GB M8 were before I bought (and still bought the 2GB later, but admittedly didn't give it a huge chance.), but it may have been the early firmware.
Still not worth €95, may be more stable with the newer firmware, but I'd still go for a better device after €70.

With so many new Chinese sites opening up, it may be easier to find decent/better prices, but the majority of sellers in China at the moment seem to have milked these for what they can get, making it harder for some resellers to sell them at a decent price unless they buy in bulk direct from the real manufacturer. I also get that the Euro is bad at the minute.

Up around the €100 mark (€101.83) (has been lower) the Voyo Windows box with Intel CPU and 64GB and 2GB Ram
I'm pretty sure there is a code with 20% off, but I can't find it tonight. Which would allow for the 23% Duty. If they were bought in bulk they may sell for around €100 - €110 here (Depending on what the seller asks), and they're not the only ones. There are much better devices available.

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is the easiest way to go, just throw Openelec onto and the i.totalxbmc.tv repo and search for what ever addons you need.

I just buy them from amazon with sandisk 8GB sd card, €54 deliver with parcel motel.
Just add a usb cable(powered from the tv), hdmi cable and a cat cable to hook upto the Horizon box and away ye go.

They have a CEC chip so its controlled straight from your tv remote.

Whats a good choice air mouse for minix n8? Where to buy for the best price? Anyone have any suggestions?

Adverts sellers have the Minix A/M for about €20 as far as I recall. Got one and swapped it out immediately for this. Got it on sale so the attraction is less at current price point but its a joy to use.

Makes me feel like this guy

That's very cheap and bloody tempering I tell ya.

Tis only 1gb version. Still not bad.

€50 all on of you chance Parcel Motel, can't argue with that even if it is 1gb.


Tempted to get a Pi2 to try something different.

I have MiniX NEO X8-H
and a friend of mine wants to get the same (which I will set up, update firmware etc)

Whats the best place to get on please, and also add in to delivery Mele F10 pro

Thanks

Looking to get one of these boxes, primarily to run kodi.

Has anyone tried The Mobie Dazzle Amlogic S805- Quad Core Cortex-A5 1.5GHz Android KitKat 4.4 OS XBMC Streaming HD TV Box Player?
Looks to have generally positive reviews on amazon and looks like good value, but will the 1GB of RAM make it painfully slow? Also, does anyone know if it's possible to load openelec on this?

For less than €10 more, get the 2GB MXIII with same code.

Already have the MXIII.


Another note, anyone have a Dreambox M6, trying to re build one for a lad but can't get HD files to play correctly.

It will only give sound and picture with Hardware Mediacodec enabled only.

Anyone?
Seems to be a g18ref board so I'm wondering will the Open Elec for MX2 by Codesnakes work on this?

Ordered the first one, but now they are talling me they only have the second one in stock, but that its essentially the same?

Or is there a better one for my money????

Seller has 0% feedback, that would be a big no-no regardless of anything else.

You could be hit with customs on that though as its coming from China .
Parcel Motel will refuse it .

True, got a couple through already though.

I presume using normal post would inevitably incur extra charges from Customs ?

Quite likely, seems all stuff getting stopped these days.

Just a heads up,be careful clicking on links from Thai TV for live football,did it today and saw somebody scoring alright but not in a football way.:P

Seen that in a few groups alright, plenty got caught out.

I know this is an android forum but does anyone have a windows box running Kodi? I'm thinking of getting a Minix Z64

Better in what way?
I have one and it seems fine.

vectra wrote: »

Am I correct in saying if I put openelec on it that it would then boot directly to Kodi?

Yep.

vectra wrote: »

Probaly no good to me so as I use a certain app ( Not sure if I can name it here ) to view F1 which is outside Kodi

Loads on Kodi for F1, just be creative when looking for sources
