Or you can look at the Mygica atv582. Works quite well.

The MyGica products also have the advantage of working with the DSTV Now and ShowMax Android apps. Quite a few of the Android boxes don't work with them, something to be aware off.

Good idea to set a 0 buffer in Kodi, you can then start the program, leave it for 5 minutes to build up a decent buffer and then start watching as long as the server is fast enough you won't have any buffering

The remotes are often the weak part of the Android box, I personally don't like the ones from MyGica and find the mouse a real pain. The Minix one in my opion is the best I have used, the mouse functionality is easy to use and switch on and off.
