Anything I watch on Netflix skips and stutters constantly. I have no problem streaming YouTube and other online connect including HD sports context etc so its not my broadband connection. Anyone else having similar issues with the Netflix app on their Android box? Anyone got a fix?

We can help you find the right box for your needs and help you set it up but we can't post links or instructions on how to breach copyright. 2. The "best box" depends on a) your usage criteria and broadband set up (do you need strong WiFi or will the box be cabled? and b) your budget. Lot's of people here have purchased Minix boxes and currently the Neo X8-h is their flagship http://www.minix.com.hk/Products/MINIX-NEO-X8-H.html but there other high end boxes from other manufacturers and there are certainly other boxes which offer better value for money i.e. similar performance for less €. Regardless of what box you invest in you're going to have to learn how to set up apps, install add on's (for XBMC) etc. It's tweaking and can be somewhat time consuming but if you enjoy such challenges you'll be fine as you'll get a lot of help here. If however you're looking for a black box solution which just works 100% out of the box with IPTV configured, movie sources set up etc I don't think you'll find such a box.

I have standard wi fi. Budget not really an issue but I want value for money and don't want to be spending more than I need to for what I need.

Having a nightmare with the wifi on it its pretty much useless and using ethernet is not an option for me, I get good signal and my other devices such as phone, ps4 & laptop work great in the same room. I contacted the seller and he linked me to an update file, done that still no joy. Has anyone else experienced difficulty with the wifi speeds on this box?
