    This is basically a run of the mill android box with Linux/Kodi running. They are charging you 3 or 4 times the price of the box to pre install Kodi and repos.

    A guy in work got one and he does love it, he isn't really tech savvy so paid the premium to get everything installed.

    He says streaming live tv is flakey. Buffering.

    Get a good high power android box and spend a couple of hours setting it up and you will save money.

    Yea I have been looking and googling to see what's the best of the boxes out there and it's hard to get a definitive answer I have to say... Now I would not be that tech savvy either so would like to have it pre installed with decent support also...

    I bought my M8S off androidtv.ie and I got great support even when I wiped it by mistake I could download it all again...

    With the M8S it feels like I have gone back about 10 years in technology so just looking for something that will run a lot smoother..

    What would you recommend and thanks...

    My 2 cents....

    I decided to get one after some deliberation. Very impressed. They have a facebook group and any issues or questions are quickly sorted.

    They run linux. Faster than any android box i have used. There's no bloatware which loads the boxes quickly straight into kodi.

    I recommend it to anyone who asks and 4 friends have purchased a box as they have been equally impressed by it.

    The problem is your crappy illegal streams not your "box"
