Hi guys,

I was advised that I should post my query in here:

Looking to get a new Android box but getting confused with all the MXQ boxes. Will be buying from aliexpress and will spend between 30 to 50 Dollars.

So what is the difference between the MXQ Quick Play, MXQ Pro Ultimate and MXQ Pro Ultra. Links to all three below:

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MXQ-P...65-361598.html

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MXQ-P...ck-356045.html

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MXQ-P...ck-361629.html

Which of those three is the best or should I go for the MXQ G9C:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...641786176.html

or the MXV:

Or some other recommendation?

Thanks

how would mk808b plus rate vs mxv. would be mainly running kodi not really a gamer

MK808B+ is absolutely more than sufficient for all things kodi.

There are also openelec roms for it if you want to ditch android and only load kodi.

WiF receiver is not the greatest, but works absolutely fine for me as router near tv.

If you mean August bank holiday, go ahead, shortest delivery you could expect would be 2 weeks if being delivered to a UK address, otherwise about a month.

Cheers mate, I reckon I'll just stick to Amazon so.

I was gonna buy a jbonest from Amazon at £49, but am open to suggestions.

I should add, I would like the box for bank holiday weekend. (Purchasing for a relative)

Is there something weird happening on Boards? A few threads seem to have jumped back a day or so.. maybe not.
Anyway, saw these and didn't think I'd start a new thread.

MXQ Pro 1GB + 8GB is on aliexpress for €26.77

MX V 2GB + 8GB is on aliexpress for €34.29

Mini Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad is on aliexpress for €2.13

I can't imagine the keyboard would be all that great, but for €2.13 it's worth a punt.

The unmentionable site is flash selling the MK808b plus (ie. quad core) for €22.46 ... within the import VAT limit/no handling charge - as a single item order obviously.

poitinstill

thanks for speedy reply think i will plan ahead and get mxv. Im currently on an Mk808b II with finless rom on it. I presume eventually there will be a build like that for these?

Im thinking of the MXV for the extra few $$
have heard a lot about the MXQ pro but not a lot about MXV for a few euro i see you get another gig or RAM is there anything else ?

Firmware for both is being customed at the moment, the MXV is a little further behind as it was released a little later. 2GB is better for more intensive apps or gaming. Apart from that they would be pretty much identical. I think they both have unfinished versions of Openelec at the moment, but I'm not 100% about the MXV (again, it won't be far behind if not).

Not sure which to use on the dual box box. Am thinking windows for netflix and kodi.
the netflix app on android is crap quality.. maybe this is my settings! im sure it will run HD in windows. Not sure which platform to run Kodi from.

kodi can run on android and windows fine

Apparently better in Windows. Not an android user myself, but it runs fine for me in Windows. Why not try both and see

£10 plus P&P would be nearly €20, no? It's probably a generic brand alright as I can't see any name on it but I've had it a couple of years and it still works perfectly so I'm happy out!

£16 if you get it delivered here or £9.49 to PW/PM, but I have something else to bring it over £25, so it's costing me £9.49.

Personally, I would strongly advise people not to buy the Minix A2 remote control as they are not user friendly at all - IMHO anyway. This is the remote that I would highly recommend (a very similar one was already mentioned on this thread): http://www.adverts.ie/tv/air-mouse-wireless-keyboard-remote/6349987 Most people I know have this one, came highly recommended to me and I can see why. Makes everything so much easier and very simple to use!

I have the deluxe version (not sure what the difference between deluxe and pro is), and other than this issue, yeah I would definitely recommend it. Yeah the IR can learn commands, though for my TV it worked out of the box for must functions (volume, mute and navigation).

Amazon are gonna refund me so I've just ordered another one. The one thing I will say is that is can be hard to right click on items (in windows at least) because if you move the mouse while right clicking, it detects it has a drag selection. And because it's light, it's hard not to move it when pressing a button.

Edit: Just a heads up, if you are interested in the Deluxe version, if you purchase this one a promotion of approximately -£13 is applied, meaning you can get it for about £10. It doesn't mention it on the page, but proceed to checkout and it's applied.

Was looking at the above configuration..

I have a fire stick but since kodi 16 came out its slowed up slightly. Also nervous as to whether amazon will continue to turn a blind eye to the side loading of kodi .. also firestarter has been disabled after the latest fire stick update so the menu is not as slick as it used to be..

I have this exact configuration. Only proviso is that the WiFi receiver is not spectacular on the MK808B+ sticks. (usb ethernet available too)

Not an issue for me since TV is beside router, but something to bear in mind.

Big fan of the remote in any case. Stick handles all I've thrown at it. Swapped OpenElec onto it instead of Android too.
