    I got one of those Android MX TV Boxes with Kodi or XBMC installed and I'm just wondering is there any way I can actually see what is playing, the name of the film or tv programme when playing live tv streams does not appear, so I don't know the name of the tv show or movie I'm watching.

    I think you would get better info if you posted in the Android Devices forum.

    You can also download tv guide aps from play store to see what's on.

    I have one of these too. You can't see what's on on each channel on the listing, the way you would on your prgramme list on a TV box like Sky or UPC. So it's not so good for channel hopping.

    I have two myself and yes they're great but I wouldn't give up my sky sub as a replacement.

    They're ideal if you know what you want to watch.

    Google the 'iVue' program add-on for details on how to install this and it should help you see what's on

    4K Nvidia Shield best Android box you can get. Slap on Plex and Kodi/XBMC and pimp it out with addons yourself
