    Anyone using one? I want it to use a few TV streaming apps like showbox and Mobdro which are not available on Windows.

    Possible to load android from a USB stick like you can with Linux?

    I'm not sure how (or if) this would work. But Live Booting Remix OS from a usb key might. Or even it installed on a device (laptop) and HDMI'd to a tv.

    Would you not just get an Amazon fire stick and run a Kodi build

    If you have a phone or tablet you could mirror the image to your PC screen?

    I think you'd need a Chromecast to do it to the TV. Could be the easiest solution.

    my laptop has a HDMI output so I could link my laptop to the TV with the emulator. That was my plan for watching showbox and such,

    I have Mobdro running on the Nox emulator fairly flawlessly, can't fault it. Just make sure it's a newish version of the APK or else it'll work but 90% of the channels will be missing.

    Bluestacks is an android emulator for Windows. You install the program and then download apps to it.

    The good thing about Nox is you can press the Pin button on it and that will make it float on top of all your other windows and tabs so you can resize it down in the corner of your screen and watch tv while you browse. Just drag and drop an apk into the Nox window to install an app.

    Popcorn time for windows is pretty similar to sh*wb*x. Try that out.
