Mecool KI PRO
Mecool BB2
MX Q PRO 4K
Zidoo H6 PRO
Smallrt X3
Eshowee X96 Mini
TX 3 Mini
X96
A8 Plus
Wetek
Alfawise H96 Mini
H96 PRO TV DONGLE
and I stopped if I was continuing to score, now I find myself with a pain in the head and a total confusion about what I was looking for.
Help me understand the differences.
Thank you.

Thanks for the help.
Since I have to take another, no turner, which of those listed in the first post I could take?
I rely on your experience, another that is valid and not too expensive.

Any decent reviews of Android TV boxes? I just want to get a decent Android box to stream NetFlix, Amazon Prime, ShowBox and Kodi in 4K on a box with a fairly new version of Android.

While I've been looking for cheaper android tv boxes for iptv for friends, I can say without a doubt Nvidia Shield is by far the best. I've had mine since 2015, and the newer 2017 model is shrunk down same innards. 3gb ram, Nvidia Tegra processor is the best on it. Netflix full 4K HDR support officially. Official real android TV that receives updates all the time (Currently they are intentionally waiting to release Android Oreo on it as launcher is not good yet and are working with Google on that, but it's pretty solid with Marshmallow official androidtv version). Amazon Prime 4K HDR built in (first android tv to get it officially actually).
HDR support on every app Except Youtube... simply because Youtube uses a different Codec VP9 that requires a specific chip that came out after Shield was released. I'm using PerfectPlayer for IPTV on it now and it's really impressive with customized hardware decoding. Kodi runs great on it too when I tried it. Not sure about Showbox but do keep in mind the Google Play Store on official Android TV is limited to Apps that developers specifically support TV interface on. You can easily use your phone or browser to get the APK and install it on the Shield though if you can't find it in store. They call this sideloading and it works great once you figure out how. I personally use Solid Explorer on both Shield and my phone and find apk in the app on my phone, then copy it over the network to my Shield Network Shared folder (officially supported), then open it on Shield and install it.)
Keep in mind Nvidia shield will work with anything bluetooth and it does support Android TV Remote app so you can control and type from your phone. 2 USB 3.0 ports so you can even connect older xbox 360 controllers if you have pc dongle, etc..
Problem I'm seeing with every other Android TV Box is they're all Android Phone version with an added UI to make it look like Android TV, and I really feel like most of them won't get updated and might freeze if you push it with limited RAM and chinese-made processors. Official Android TV FTW. Honorable mention from research not experience - Xiaomi Mi Box, built in Android TV on non samsung/nonlg tvs... especially on Sony Android TV.
I have a very simple box, but very good for streaming MXQ PRO. Very inexpensive - $35. I got it from AMTRADE TV Boxes
I've just purchased a new box from China that I'm waiting delivery on. I had help from Robert Joseph of ghostware. He's awesome.
This is the info and specs on it. Like I said it has everything I want and even a little more with the extra hard drive space for which I've ordered a 240gig SSD drive from Amazon.
I got the version with 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of hard drive space. And it's pretty much dirt cheap for one of the best hardware setups on the market. Only about 65 US dollars.
These are some more of its specs. The gigabit Ethernet port is just as important as everything else. Especially if you have a fast connection like I do. You don't want to be limited to a hundred megabits.
I followed the advice SdM123, and I must say that Sidiwen A95X MAX TV Box Android 8.1 4GB RAM 64GB ROM Amlogic S905X2 Quad Core Dual WIFI 2.4G / 5G Ethernet is one of the best 0 buffering problems. I am satisfied with the purchase and thank SdM123 for pointing it out.
Cool
Which streaming device has the most internal storage?
Hi guys, what do you think of switchonshop.com ? I think to buy there, but I do not know if it is worth it.
At SwitchOnShop.com. I saw a set top box model MAG425A. Has anyone used such a model?
Hello folks,
I'm going to buy a new smartphone and I need one that is capable to play x265 videos smoothly and VR videos as well. I'm not into gaming and the VR are just for videos. I don't intend to spend much money as well.
Looking for some models that match my criteria’s and budget I narrowed down the list to Xiaomi Redmi 6 OR Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. The first one is cheaper and my preference.
I was ready to buy the Redmi 6 but then I noticed that on the official website on the Redmi 6 specs it doesn’t quote x265 or HEVC or anything like that and it doesn’t quote the gyroscope as well.
It’s awkward for me because the chipset Helio P22 used to assemble the Redmi 6 has support for x265 decoding according to the official Mediatek website.
Is it possible for a smartphone assembled with Helio P22 doesn’t play x265 videos even it being native on the chipset?
Accordingly to some websites, a gyroscope is essential to have a good VR experience, but that wouldn’t be just for games like “Pokemon Go”? Would Redmi 6 play VR videos great or the lack of gyroscope turn that impossible (or produce a poor VR experience)?
I would appreciate a lot if some could lend me a hand, especially Redmi 6 owners because I didn’t want to pay more for the MI A2 Lite. I’m just willing to pay more if the Redmi 6 is not good enough.
I also accept suggestions of other models and brands that fit my budget.
OBS: Play x265 is ESSENTIAL for me. I’m not going to buy a device that can’t play x265. The VR is a nice feature that I would like to have, but not as essential as the x265.
Hello people,
I just purchased the asian version of the xiaomi laser projector 4k 1S. Before I had the same model but the european version with 1600 Lumen instead of 2000 that I have got now. On my European Version I had Android 9.0 as OS installed and could stream everything on 4K but since I got the "better" Asian version, it´s only possible to play these apps on my fireTV Stick (wich is also 4K) in 2160 to 60 quality. I tried everything but still don´t get the answer and im thinking about sending this beamer back.
I would really appreciate it, if someone could tell me how to change the resolution or the format to 4K on Netflix and Youtube.
best regards,
Morris
