I know my way around tech, so can get rid of the crap off it and just put kodi and then addons myself.

Have been looking and after much issues with a Chinese phone(the phone itself and customs,returns etc), would be put off using Aliexpress etc

Thanks for any help!!!

If I was going for that box I'd buy it for £26.45 off Amazon, less hassle if you need to return/warranty issue.
Personally I'd go for something with 2 GB ram, but if you're on a budget go ahead.

Any link for a seller on Amazon?

Im guessing this seller as you said £26.45

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Android-Built-Channel-Updater-Player/dp/B00WIDHWI0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1462889555&sr=1-2&keywords=MXQ

I put in free delivery and it still comes up as £7.04 in the basket, is there anyway around this or a cheaper method?

Not on a budget really, more i got a chromecast to do the same job and don't want to spend 50 or 60 just to make it easier.

Will only be running Kodi and heard 1gb is grand for that?

Yes that's the seller i meant, you could take month's trial Prime membership, and cancel membership before month is up or use parcel wizard if youve already used that option.

Works out dearer with parcel wizard

34.77 on amazon(4.75 postage) and then 3.85 on parcel wizard, about 4 more, unless im doing it wrong

Select free delivery once you click on your wizard address, it deducts the 4.75 leaving total £26.45 + PW fee.

Pay in £, works out better, use your Revolut card, better still, no commission.

Hi , I got a few of these boxes before xmas, there grand. Im still using mine, however some of the Apps are dead now, some of the apps have been abandoned by their developers, all in all its a good android box, Not sure if they come preloaded with all the apps , but Kodi is installed afaik. It takes a bit of time to navigate but worth it in the end.

There might be a few for sales on adverts.ie or donedeal.ie ,that's were I got mine.

Ah cool thanks, Im grand on setting up Kodi etc(have it on pc then use chromecast to get to sitting room), just wondering if the box itself was ok.

Ill have a look and see,most seem to add €20 on to what amazon etc charge

Looked again on Amazon and paying in pounds clears it up, parcel wizard does work!

Its confusing as starts of in pounds and then comes down to euros which is obviously dearer and makes you think you didn't get free postage
