    Apologies if this is in the wrong location - kinda fits in 3 different forums

    Just looking for opinions on the best Android TV box from the below list. Wifi is not a concern (I think) as it will be wired - unless there is another use for the WiFi aspect such as using AirDriod - one of the main desires would be to use Skype on the TV.

    The devices you have linked to are more of a media player/streaming devices than "TV Boxes".
    They are basically mobile phone hardware without the SIM & antennas that have been engineered with HDMI output and USB ports.

    I can't see how Skype would work with them as the devices have no mic & camera built in. Don't know if someone has found a way to connect a webcam to one yet.

    Thanks for that - they say Skype compatible and I was thinking that you could add a USB webcam to them with built in mic ? I use Mediaportal for movies from the PC direct to the TV so this is mainly for web browsing, Skype and some Android apps.
