    Check feedback, check where they are coming from. If you get one from outside the EU there is a good chance you could have to pay VAT + potentially an import duty and handling fee. Not worth your while in many instances.

    Thank you...You are probably right,and it would be best to get one where I wouldn't have too much hassle if I had a problem with the box...After reading a little about them,it seems the movies can freeze a lot...I suppose it depends on the box,and the internet speed...Thanks

    As much as box or internet speed it depends on where you get it from. A lot of Android boxes are used to stream illegal streams via XBMC / Kodi which we can't talk about here. But with your own media or streaming from somewhere like Netflix or YouTube it should be fine (depending on model of course)

    Where do the boxes you buy in Ireland come from..probably USA/China..so if ya can get one cheaper online,,you should.
