Any reason why you want the Shield?

Because there are just so many complaints and tricks to getting things working on other boxes. I need something that is wife and children friendly while being reasonably future proof.

Best Android box i got is my current HPH NT V6 box. 32GB with 4GB ram, and lots of custom firmware available for it.

I found it by chance last week. The exchange rate made it a no brainier. Reviews are excellent.

Yep, just ordered as well via Amazon UK and should have it by Friday. Comparative prices and delivery locally blow.
 
Boys need some help I have the mg582 and installed moviebox but Everytime I start it it goes back to app screen I have to 're install and then open it as it finishes. Any idea why?

Hi,

Didn't see to many good reviews about the MXQ pro device. Heating/ packing up issues. Search for Nagrace/Hph NT-N8 on this thread. In the same price cat. but way better reviews and an increasing demand for it. You have to order it from overseas via Aliexpress or Amazon tho. OR you can just speak to Scott's shipping services - you just pay him (very reasonable) and he handles everything. I'm also new to this world and ordered this device from him last week.. can't wait for it to arrive :D.. here's his link:

Got my 2017 Shield today, lovely little device.

Setup was easy, Netflix, Plex and YouTube pre-installed. Showmax available from the app store. Supersport side loaded from an apk.

All running perfectly.

Haven't had much chance to play with it yet, only got stuck into setting up it up late last night. So far all good though.

Roku 3 has been moved to another room in the house, ultrabook that was plugged into TV for Showmax and Supersport can be moved back to the study.

Just need to make some minor changes to my home network so that the Roku still has access to my Plex server.

As an aside, first thing my daughter asked was if she could play HayDay on the TV now when she saw the android logo.

As a second aside, in messing around last night I reached a point with the Supersport app where I thought I'd have to buy a wireless mouse for the TV. Right stick on the controller works like a mouse though, its not ideal, but it works.

Oh, and for those interested, total cost came to R3,700 including shipping and customs.
