[Q] Best Android TV Box for streaming - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong section to post. I am currently searching for an Android TV box. I have been searching endless on which one is best for HD streaming. I am a total newb at this. I also want to make sure I can run XBMC seamless and that I can run netflix. What are the better TV units and which ones are worth buying. Also do these devices need to be rooted? I want something pre configured...I don't really want something I need begin hacking and customizing.
I saw Jynxbox
G-Midnight
Mini 5
Exoon G Box
Anyhow...any help would be grteatly appreciated.
Cheers

I also have the same question, I am leaning towards Jnyxbox or Geniatech atv1200. I also came across these two Android Sticks that are Quad Core, which would you guys think is better?

CX-919 RK3188 http://www.geekbuying.com/item/US-P...Mni-PC-TV-Box-2G-8G-BT-HDMI-Black-314977.html

919 should be better

for now there's nothing new out, everybody is sticking to rk3188.
there are a couple of development board with something more powerfull like Odroid-ux but nothing at consumer level.

[Q] android noob please help

okay so here's the deal. I recently bought an off-brand tablet that i have never heard of, it is a maxwest 7370 tablet. I have a joke about it i call it a samsing lol. It seems like a good deal, it came with a 7" screen, 1.2 gigahertz dual core ,800 some odd mb of RAM, 8 gigs of storage, HDMI output, microSD slot, and Flash support, it runs on jelly bean 4.2.2 It was only one hundred and seventy dollars. And I'm happy with it so far but on the other hand I have had no success even finding this model of tablet on the Internet. Today I attempted several times at rooting this device with no success. I use software downloaded on my laptop one called kingo root the other was one click rooting. the only thing I was planning on using the rooted tablet for was supporting interface with my playstation 3 sixaxis controller. If anyone can help me figure out how to root this or just pairing my controller it would be greatly appreciated. I don't know much of anything about Android or rooting them but I would love to unlock more potential out of this thing! I use it mostly for fun but maybe some listening and learning will allow me to do much more.

Not going to see this tablet get root since its a low end budget tablet. Would be nice but the devs like the higher spec's tabs. I use one as my ereader. But only cuz it was a gift from my kids.
Thanks for the response,shortly after I posted this question I used kingo and it worked flawlessly for anyone else who needs to know.
Another vote for kingo
I bought this RCA system to review it, It was never intended to be my primary Android device, but I thought i might make a nice bookshelf stereo replacement. It sat in a box for over a year.
Now with Root, I can have Tasker do some cool automation stuff.
Thanks for the http://www.kingoapp.com/ recomendation. I also needed to install some ADB usb drivers for the device, which I found at http://visualgdb.com/UsbDriverTool/.
The hardest part was finding a Windows computer to run it all from..

What is the BEST i can get for 60$+-?

Hi,
I'm looking 2buy a straemer for kodi.
I made a big research upon that question read a lot.
Found some reccommandtions such as:
* NEXBOX A95X
* BEELINK GT1
* ZIDOO X9S
* Xiaomi Mi Box (maybe wont be relevant due to lack of RJ45 Ethernet? *important
What is for your opintion is the best for around 60$? Not only from the follwing...
Thansks!
Bro! Thanks for putting that initial list together. I was also considering some of those.... following this thread to see if any further input on affordable boxes similar to above.
Lets cross our finguers to responces
The new NVidia Shield TV dropped also. But that beast is $199 for standard and $299 for a pro. Heck for that much money might as well get an Intel mini-pc.
Cannot find a single reasson of buying a media pc (streamer is so 2010)
I personally am buying a T95Z box, specifically the easytone package off amazon.
The T95Z and the S96 boxes are loaded with newer chips and decent memory/storage and most are around $60. Check em out.

Unless you need the video features the s905X supports, stay away from it..
It's billed as "the new SoC" by the sellers but it's over-all slower than the S905 - all it has is those few video feature extras... but generally slower all around.
OK
So it better choosing a S905 device.
But which one/s??
All around XDA, with around 7 MILLION membes - not any single recommandation?
Tnx!
So looking at the new zoomtak Uplus I might hold off and get that when more vendors start selling it. Check it out
h t t p ://www .zoomtak.net/product-item/4k-hd-tv-box-zoomtak-amlogic-s912-uplus/
As for right now, at that price point, best bet would be a sunvell t95z. It has the newer Amlogic S912 and better mali gpu than most. It'll handle 4k no problem.
Thanks
Also heard about the sunvell t95z.
Guess it supposed to be good...?
How is it compare to Beeling GT1?
Hardware wise they are identical. The launcher/ui's will be different, but is always customizable. If choosing between those two I'd say it would come down to price, accessories, and visual appeal. Since both will offer similar performance.

mibox is the only answer, other ones are running ****ty android tablet version
A bit late shabydog, but give this video a watch. Might answer most of your questions.

This may be obvious, but did you consider a Fire TV stick? They're only 40 for the basic model and they're more than powerful enough to run Kodi. if that's all you're looking to do. they can also be rooted without problem and have custom ROM's in case you want a more traditional Android feel. I've got two running Kodi without any issues. You don't even need to go for the upgraded version with the voice search remote as you can download the fire tv remote app free from the Play store on any Android device and it has voice search built in. Unless you are looking to set up a PVR with Kodi, in which case the six gig storage would be an issue.
Guys have a look at this.
It might help you, especially if your main goal is to use KODI / SPMC / etc:

The Xiomi Mi Box 4K seems like a no brainier at ~$70. I've had it for maybe 6 months and it's very good. Runs Kodi v17 awesome, runs RetroArch awesome for gaming emulators, plus all the usual Android TV stuff like Chromecast, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc. It still runs Android 6.0.1 but hopefully it'll get Android N soon. Some of the 4K/HDR stuff isn't perfect I've heard, but have mine set to 1080p, don't have a 4K TV anyway. I'd definitely buy it again though at this price point: http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/

TV Box / Mini PC Help

Hi All,
I recently purchased an R-TV X99 (Rockchip RK3399 Device) which i am not pleased with as the stock firmware was unrooted and crap and the rooted that i flashed was buggy as hell. If anybody knows where to look for custom firmware or even the latest root official firmware, or how i can make my own firmware for the R-TV X99 box PLEASE show me because at the moment i have it just sitting there as its unusable. I have owned a few Android TV boxes (also currently have a S192 Device) and i am sick of how they are unsupported and dont get any software releases or updates. I did see yesterday on XDA roms for S192 devices and i will be flashing and trying them out, its just asham theres not more for alot more devices. Anyways I am now looking to purchase a new TV Box.
I really need some help / advice before i purchase again.
I want a box that can actually output 4K @60fps and not just say that it can. The TV box / Mini PC market is a mess, so many devices and brands claiming this and that but it doesn't always hold true.
I had the idea of buying a Mini PC that can run windows on it and then i should be able to install Phoenix OS on it and dual boot android and windows 10 (I hope this is possible?).
My limit is £250 so i have narrowed it down to these boxes:
KODLIX AP42
Beelink S1
Beelink ap34
N42-D Mini PC
Kodlix GN41
Beelink S2
Beelink Gemini x55
The problem is, I am finding it hard to compare as they are all so similar they say then can do 4K but some dont specify the fps whereas other do. As an example of finding it hard to compare the Beelink website doesn't even have a compare products page and the Beelink AP34 model looks better then the AP34 Pro which i would have expected to be the other way round ? Pro is always the better one usually. Its just confusing.
Id like one with expandable storage especially a 2.5" internal slot for SSD and id like it to be fanless too.
The above models seem to be they best ones i can find.
If however you cannot install an OS of your choice i will need 1x android tv box and 1x windows 10 Mini PC
I would appreciate massively any advice or help on this matter.
Mini PC
Hi,
I too have the same question/confusion. Yesterday, I thought Kodlix is the best bet. Their hardware/claim is hard to resist. It has UHD graphics (Two versions are given on the same page 620 and 600. I am not allowed to paste the url here.).
To confuse more, same product is listed in amazon twice. Again, not allowed to paste URL. Search for Kodlix in amazon and it displays both results.
