Hi guys,

I keep changing my mind about my future Android box since i got confused everytime I read the reviews.

Here are what I'm looking for on my android tv box:

  • KODI full version (17.3 I think?) compatible
  • Being able to get the Stremio App
  • Having all sports channel live (IPTV stalker I heard?) compatible, and all others channels why not
  • Being able to cast my phones (iOS and android) on the TV
  • Being able to download/install FOXTELGO APP
  • Pairing couple of remote to play android multiplayer games like Badlands
  • The device will be connected by WiFi only

My budget is max $150, what do you reckon?

    For your budget the best is the Xiaomi Mi Box 3. I had one for a while before uprading to an Nvidia Shield.

    What do you think about the Beelink GT1 Ultimate I can find around $90?
    If you look at the hardware part, it's better than the Mi box 3

    Mod: Fixed link and added.

      I have that but it doesn't have Android 7.1. How do I update? Mine currently freezes some days, works perfectly fine others.

    There are two types of boxes out there - boxes which run Android TV, which is an actual operating system developed by Google. It's a good platform but doesn't have many apps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_3000…).

    The other media boxes are running old versions Android - same opoerating system version as phones and tablets. If you get one of those then you can run most Android apps (thousands out there) but the interface might be a bit messy.

    Just received my Beelink GT1 Ultimate, we'll see how it goes.
    But any recommandations for other people reading that thread?

      How are you finding the Beelink so far?

      Please tell me it's good so I don't waste too much money on an NVIDIA shield TV. =)

      Could you install Netflix, and does Netflix do 1080p or better?

        Not sure if i'm happy or not.
        Since netflix doesnt work, foxtel go either.. Only because it's Android TV OS.

        I have to spend some time and put an Android phone OS on it to be able to use all the capacity of that machine :)
