Vossen Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Anyone got one ? Tips please...it is already rooted. Thanks in advance.
Larry_LCFC Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Its funny actually, Ive spent the last 3 or 4 days researching android boxes and speaking to people. Conclusion: Don't buy cheap, you'll regret it. The cheaper boxes are incredibly laggy through the menus and frustrating to use. My Zoomtak T8 arrived from ebay today. Bit more expensive than the £50 I was originally gonna spend, but I am so chuffed with it. The quality is superb and its really fast and easy to use. Plus it came preloaded and jailbroken which is even better.
Webbo Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 I've got Kodi sideloaded onto an Amazon Fire box and a cheap quad core android box up in the bedroom and to be honest I don't think there's a noticeable difference.
Brenfox Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Slightly off topic maybe but I know nothing about this kind of thing. I'm looking for a digibox that can be used without an aerial so just over wifi. Is this the kind of thing you are talking about?

You can watch literally every movie/tv show/channel in existence through a program called Kodi on an android box. One of my addons has 600+ channels from around the world.

Larry_LCFC Posted 16 July 2015 Posted 16 July 2015 I'm really interested in getting one of these, can you hook it up straight through Ethernet? or is it WIFI only? Either or mate. Always going to be more stable plugged in but the T8 has a pretty good wifi reception too.
CKB Posted 16 July 2015 Posted 16 July 2015 Either or mate. Always going to be more stable plugged in but the T8 has a pretty good wifi reception too. Brilliant! gonna order one now, can't wait to mess around with it /geekmode haha
Webbo Posted 16 July 2015 Posted 16 July 2015 I'm in 2 minds about starting a Kodi thread. do you think there'd be much interest? should it be in here or general chat?

Webbo Posted 17 July 2015 Posted 17 July 2015 I won a competition in May to win an android box and it arrived today. I didn't realise it was an MXq. Very good box with the droidplayer set up.
ousefox Posted 17 July 2015 Posted 17 July 2015 I'm in 2 minds about starting a Kodi thread. do you think there'd be much interest? should it be in here or general chat?This would be great. I've been using ice films which has been fine but I struggle when i want to watch something a little more obscure/old. Any other good add ons to help with that?Also I went to most of our games once NBC stopped working for streaming so advice on football add ons for next season would be ideal.
ousefox Posted 17 July 2015 Posted 17 July 2015 Plus I just use Xbmc on my laptop and connect through an hdmi cable. Is there any reason why I investing in a box may be a better idea?
Larry_LCFC Posted 17 July 2015 Posted 17 July 2015 1channel primewire and genesis are superb for films and shows. Iptv stalker is bloody brilliant for live tv. About 500 channels
Webbo Posted 17 July 2015 Posted 17 July 2015 There's a thread in general chat now http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/101628-kodi-set-upsboxes-and-add-ons/#entry3492539
