Recommendations for Android TV box

Hi I'm looking for web TV box, for a bedroom with bad antenna reception. Can't afford another Apple TV, so wanted some recommendations for players under $65….

Something that doesn't have an utterly terrible Android interface…and a remote. (a bonus would be a PVR in it too, but I'm probably dreaming at that price point)

Many thanks

    Xiaomi Mi Box 3
    Edit: Oops under $65.. I bought a generic android box off eBay for $30 auction - waiting for it to arrive. Will let you know how it is when it arrives

    • For $10 more than OP's budget, it's well worth it. I got a cheap ass TV box for $40 and it died after using it 10 times as it kept overheating.

  • get one of those android tv OS ones with chromeacst support

    • which one's are they though, sorry I'm not across the android side of things at all

    How about Chromecast, you can play it on phone and through it on TV. I have chromecast 2 and is perfect. I also have Apple Tv which now I hardly use.

    • +1 for the Chromecast, they're dead easy to setup and you use your phone as the remote control.

    I have 2 Android boxes and they are OK, but I prefer this (which I also have) cost me $150….http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Vensmile-W10-Windows-Desktop-Mini-PC.jpg

    More powerful, easier to use, better for travelling etc.

  • Ok Chromecast looks like the option, thank you!
