Quad core android box 2gb ram

Dowl88 · 25-07-2014 5:54pm #1

Would be excellent for showbox, xbmc or just a good media centre! Runs android too. Be a nice little system for browsing the internet, facebook, rte player abd could be used as a pc really.

Type android tv box into amazon and second link down. Cant post links yet

i actually ordered this off amazon on tuesday cant wait for it.cant wait to put xmbc on it

(just checked seems i sent mine to parcel motel) hope it arrives there tomo and i should get it sat.)

i came across this youtube video and its the reason im getting it.

all the plugins in the video you can get yourself except for the sporting streams one which seems to be a paid add on??
The crowd in the video are selling the box with the air remote for 170 where abouts on amazon for 70 euro ish.

I've seen these type of boxes been advertised on Facebook.can someone dumb it down for me?

What exactly does it do?
I have a laptop that I usually steam football and movies to my tv via a hdmi cable.does this box do any different?

EoghanConway · 01-08-2014 7:40am

Has anyone tried the Horizon App on one of these? It doesn't work on the older UG802

It's basically a small box running android that you connect to your tv. So you can install any app from the play store and use it.
They are mainly used for xbmc which is a media center app. It allows to connect to hard drives, nas etc. And watch the movies stored on it.
It also has add on files for popular online streaming such as 1channel and project free tv and hundreds more.
And more it has community created play lists where its contains a huge library of movies, tv shows, live channels and sports available to watch whenever.

Research showbox, best app ever. Thats where you will get the value for money!

Chimichangas · 02-08-2014 8:03pm

where can you get the apps? From Google play or where?

Yes it runs android so should have the play store installed already.

Snowc · 02-08-2014 9:35pm

Can you receive phone calls and send text messages with these boxes like an
android phone ?

Hi Micks.

Want to order 2 of these, looks a great deal.

What seller did you go with and how long did it take to arrive?

Did you get caught for custom charges.

Also have you installed popcorn time?

If you did, how does it play?

Also does this thing have miracast?

Can't see any mention of it.

Sorry for all the questions.

Sadly not, SkyGo only works with a select few Android devices and definitely not a no-name brand like this.

There's a full list on Sky's website somewhere.

Which version of XBMC is preloaded, is it the official one or one of the dodgy hacks?
