Title: Android Tv box
Post by: LouPah on Apr 28, 2015 at 02:24 PM
Acquired this Android tv box last year. The firmware is more stable now, after the updates the other week.
The box can play most if not all of the video formats I've tested. You can also plays 3D games just like in your smart phones, & the best of all you can stream live tv HD channels for free ;D ;D ;D

No! different model, yes! same manufacturer. As you can see his negative review,  maybe true at that time, because even me I cannot recommend this box during those time, but after the firmware updates they fixes some faults & bugs, and working fine for me now.

But do not rely on my words alone, do some research & you can find others with better specs & good performer than this box. :) :) :)

"Popcorn Time" and "Show Box" With these Apps, you can watch any movies on demand without paying a single dollar, but recently found out that  these Apps are illegal, but still you can use it with your own risk.

"Filmon Tv" and "Cloud Tv" Apps for your favorite TV show and most recent episode with a few clicks of the remote!

You need at least 3mbps to stream standard channels, but if you want an HD channels you need at least 5mbps of internet connection in your home.
