    Facebook? No I don't think it's installed by default. It's an android device though so Google will steal your data instead though.

    Hence the reason the Americans are trying to ban all Chinese tech around the world, because all the other phone manufacturers send all of your data to NSA.

    It's your choice to make, do you let the Chinese or the Americans have all of your data ???

    :p

    Go watch Citizenfour.

    You are right and what a pity, it won't ship to the UK even, the 55'' equivalent is £600 on Amazon UK..

    If you are going to talk about one product might as well talk about them all....

    The only reason the chinese companies are in the news is because they are taking too much share from the Americans. Huawei was grand when it only sold to Asia, once it broke out into Europe and US, stopped Cisco winning contracts suddenly the US had an issue......no

    Haven't got it but I have the xiaomi mi TV box.

    Rte player have a version made for Android TV so that works although it can be problematic. That's just rte player though it doesn't play well on anything.

    Virgin media player is not optimised for Android TV but you can sideload it, use an app to force screen rotation and then it will kind of work. You can manage to navigate most things with the remote but one or two or the menus won't be accessible without maybe a wireless mouse.

    Just to second this the RTE player is a piece of ****. I have it on my LG and have give up on it. The amount of adds is shocking and the quality of video is ****e.

    Xiaomi is top of the range with a fraction of the price. Currently have an activity tracker and a redmi note 8. Quality kit.
