I have Netflix on my main TV in the living room but the TV in my bedroom is not a smart TV so I need a TV box to access Netflix there. It's a Samsung 32" with 2 HDMI inputs as well as a USB port. What will be the best option to be able to access Netflix specifically and DSTV now, although DSTV now is not a deal breaker.

There are plenty of these threads asking the same thing. The best value for money box you can buy on the market right now is a MiBox hands down. Do yourself a favor and get something decent from the start.
Going down the road of trying to save a few bucks here and there is only more painful in the end.

Thanks for the advice, will get a MiBox.
Is this the correct model?

This is a great device. It's no Mi Box, but it was cheap when I bought one for my parents, and it does the job well.

If you are willing to wait 2 weeks this one seems good,

Seriously ?
poor customer service, poor delivery, poor after sales support, in general just poor service, blatant lies on retail prices, inflated prices to show increased savings. Daily deals being either inflated, or costing more before being offered on daily deals.....
I have used them extensively the last 24 months, at least 10 times, no issues whatsoever.
Hence the question.

Some of the news posted on the website there are a lot more, additionally you just have to use the forum search function to find all the relevant threads with takealot complaints.Not all of it is based on opinions and there is some facts to it.
