Cheapest Android TV Box for Optus EPL

Optus has just released their Android App to watch EPL.

I know you can lease the Fetch TV Mini for $5 a week, but that adds up over time ($60/year). What would you recommend as a cheap Android TV unit that can handle this?

    I've got an old galaxy s3 that I plug into the TV with an MHL cable, works great. If you've got an old phone with MHL, this is your best solution

    • I didn't know this about MHL. Thanks

  • does the app work with chromecast?

    • Not at the moment it doesn't, but i hope it gets added in down the track as this app is only in it's first version

  • Maybe this … seems to fit the bill.

    • S905 is not a bad chipset, I've ordered stuff from Geekbuying, Gear best etc and it can take several weeks to get here.

      I have a RK3386 chipset box I will see if I can try tonight to tell if it works ok.

  • To say you can "purchase" the device for $5/month is extremely misleading as it states in the Terms that it must be returned to Optus upon cancellation of the subscription (for the Fetch TV Mini).

    • Fair point. I've updated the post above. You could technically purchase it for $150 by cancelling the subscription and not returning it.
