    Jaysus - that was hard reading. Here a hint - Paragraphs!

    It's horses for courses. but Kodi does not replace live TV - end of. I don't do Sky Movies. If I want a new movie or TV show I will grab it at guaranteed 720p or 1080p and stream it locally rather than rely on some mickey mouse stream. The only benefit I can see of these Smart TV boxes is the live streams and they are shít.

    Please tell me how these boxes are better than Plexing to a Now TV box?

    I've an android box,I watch movies etc. in either 720p or 1080p.Netflix isn't even a consideration in my house.There's several apps that can be used aswell as kodi that can't be mentioned here.Anyone that installs a Netflix add-on to kodi is doing things very very wrong.Here's where you start with childs play tutorials https://seo-michael.co.uk/

    Ok, finally sussed out the tracking, (they don't make it easy) they sent me a picture of the parcel with my name and address on it etc. From the parcel I got the name of the courier/carrier (one world express) and logged on to their site.

    Received in Shenzhen yesterday morning, and last logged in Honk Kong last night.

    So China warehouse is the answer to this I'm afraid.

    DL'd Kodi on my old laptop and set it up with the PTP add on. Good quality on Sky Sports, better than streams I usually watch. Only a U21 match on now though, does the quality dip much when a big match is on?

    The Minix X-8H Plus (or the normal X-8H) would be my own personal preference, followed by the MXIII (2GB version).

    The Minix would be the top of the range product while the MXIII would also be highly rated across many forums.

    Loads of people have M8's. Some love them and they work great, some hate them as they have problems (seems to be some sort of power and/or overheating issue with them). At that price, I'd be concerned that they would be a clone or a refurb job.

    Anyway, that's my two cents. Oh, and always remember, you get what you pay for! ;)

    Please don't mention add ons or what they do or the thread will be closed down! ;)

    To answer the question in your quote in this post, the quality is always pretty good BUT, like all free add ons, it can be unreliable sometimes and can suffer from buffering during big games so a little tip would be to get on early so that there's not too many people trying to get on it at the same time.

    Latest on the tracking, parcel cleared Heathrow and is now with one world express dispatch centre, UK, so with a bit of luck, I'll have my hands on it for Saturday.

    Missed the Logitech wireless keyboard bargain, so am on the lookout for an airmouse/keyboard if any of you lot have a recommendation?

    This would be own personal recommendation - http://www.adverts.ie/tv/air-mouse-wireless-keyboard-remote/6349987

    I've a couple myself and so has everyone I have sorted a box for. I'd highly recommend it as it's fast and really easy to use! :)

    Lads, after many years messing around with android boxes. I got myself a pipo x7.

    It is a whole different level. A lot more stable, and runs windows aswell.

    Its definitely worth the extra few quid!


    That pipo looks like a bargain, one question, this would bascially be like turning your TV into a PC right?
    Maybe a silly question here but what is the point in a touchscreen if its connected to the TV.
    Im on the market for a box, and torn between this and the M8

    I have an M8S (S812), since last December, runs without problem, bought it direct from manufacturer, but some have had trouble with the original M8. I posted yesterday about a box for $59 which is of similar spec to my M8S and from a reputable manufacturer, Tronsmart. Look at post a few above this.

    Yes, Tronsmart have a good reputation, don't know where you're buying, but if its from geek, try the coupon code, often works across the brand. Have a look on freaktab.com, you'll probably see the model you intend buying in the forum.
