Hi all

Been out of the loop for a while. I am looking at getting an android media player for my TV. The last box I used was the MX III. I would like opinions on which box to get currently. My ceiling budget for the device will be R2000 but I would prefer to spend less.

Any suggestions?
 
Hi

I have the MINIX NEO X8-H Plus, loaded with XBMC, it came with a wireless mouse/keyboard remote. Works pretty well out the box. I bought mine while overseas, but I see it is available locally from http://www.dbg.co.za/.

Thanks for the info. Just a bit on the expensive side though.
 
What are you going to do with it?

I have stock of the MXQ with kodi 14.2 loaded for R800. 1.5ghz quad core with a quad core mali-450 ,plays 1080p like a dream with DTS.

Thanks. I need to be able to watch netflix, hulu and plex. Thats it. How is the remote on this device? Is it infrared so that I can use my own remote?
 
Also, can KODI data files be stored on an external usb? i have a very large library and i dont think 8gb is going to cut it.

Kodi reads up to 2tb ntfs/fat 32 drives via USB .

Reads any size over the network ,I share my externals via the laptop. 2 x 3tb drives.

The remote is infrared ,you can use any remote/air mouse if it comes with a usb reciever which you can plug in on the tv box. The tv box has 4x usb ports. Not sure if it will pick any other remote.
 
If you looking for the most compatible android box for drm reliant streaming (incl DSTV Now) then the Mygica ATV582 is the only one to go for.
 
I bought the Cloudgate Circle, with the Rii airmouse. Everything works great, except Showmax.
 
Have any of you tried playing any games with the Rii airmouse. I cant seem to get it right? The controller doesnt seem to work in games
