I've got an Amazon fire box, sideloaded with TVMC. It tells you how to do this on here http://www.tvaddons.ag/ .

 

I've also got this box http://www.amazon.co.uk/XCSOURCE%C2%AE-Android-Sports-Internet-CN127/dp/B00KBLHC4A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418587189&sr=8-3&keywords=mx+android+tv+box Which I've set up in the bedroom. Tbh there isn't a massive difference between the 2.

 

Btw Aliexpress sell the same boxes but it might take a few weeks to come in the post.

think im going to stump for this one, purely on the basis its the latest box

I will look at the amazon box

 

I already got a skyf5s box, just wanted something wireless

[whoareyaaa]

the best box out there at the moment in terms of stream quality and playback is the MiniX Neo x8-h plus

[CupidStunt]

I bought the one i linked above, seems ok, no issues so far.

 

whats makes the box you said better than the rest. I can still take mine back.

 

what basis have you made your judgement that the MiniX is better than the box i got? Just curious

Did you watch the match on it today? The picture quality wasn't great  I thought.

I didnt mate no, only watched the west ham game, and that quality was shite so i turned it off.

 

I have got my head around it now though setting all the menues up etc. a good bit of kit, but still prefer my skyf5s box

Wiziwig is the best place to look, it tells you the kbps. Yesterday I couldn't find anything reliable above above 175kbps, quite often you can get 400 which is a good quality picture.

Slightly off topic, but do you think it would be possible to install plex on one of these android boxes and use it as a media server?

I have a new Android TV box, quad core if anybody is after one... Bought for the footy but my Internet is shite!

Will put on eBay and send a link if interested, don't want to break any rules.
