I have a JVC 65" 4K TV arriving today and am wondering what the best Android mini pc or stick would be to play 4K content on it. The TV itself unfortunately doesn't have any of the smart apps so I can't stream Netflix or Amazon 4K (the fact that I got the TV for $1,299 makes up for that) and I know their Android apps don't currently allow it either, but I figured I could install Ultraflix or YouTube on a 4K capable box and am wondering which is the best. Right now my research is leaning me towards a box with a Amlogic S812 chip. Any other suggestions?

Hi the Tv box you selected will do the job just fine.The s812 box's are the best there is right now..I will be getting the Tronfy MX4 Telos for review soon but in the meantime hear is my review for the tronfy MX4 (not the Telos)model but very much the same tv box..http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-tv/android-sticks/tronfy-mx-iv-review-t3122800
Hello everybody.
I recently bought an Android TV box for about 35$ called MXQ Pro. It's a good piece, everything works fine but.. Netflix doesn't support HD for this device or any other TV box as I understood. Is there any way to get HD enabled on this TV box or I'll be stuck at 480p until Netflix changes his policy regarding this matter? It's really a shame for Netflix, didn't expect that at all (it may sound strange for some of you but I'm italian and Netflix has been here only from few months)
I want to 'root' this device. I've tried Kingroot, OneClick Root and those don't do it.
Here are the peticulars on this box:
M9S-PRO 2GB+16GB Android 6.0 S905X Quad Core 64bit HD Smart TV Box WiFi 4K Media
Android Box was bought from Antiquechina2009 on eBay, technical support from that company is nill. Parent company is TOPTOM. TOPTOM as a BBB rating of "F". I 'googled' their company (located in California) and phone number. I called twice last week and left my name and number. I have not received a call-back.
Has anyone been successful in 'rooting' this Android TV Box?
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Please share.
Thanks

Hi all,
I've tried to search in this forum and around internet getting different information
I'm android mobile user and my smart tv doesn't have prime video app, I'm looking to find a way to enjoy prime video on my TV
I'm oriented to buy a cheap android box cbut I still didn't catch if prime video is supported or not example x96 mini or mxq and similar (less than 20 euro as target)
a comment I've found on xda:
"Amazon Prime ATV will not work on any Android TV device except Nvidia Shield TV and maybe a few Android TV like Sony. Most, not all, subscription services apps like Amazon Prime and Netflix require Widevine L1. The KII Pro only has Widevine L3"
other comments from the web: "prime video will run but only in 480P"
Have you any experience?
Thanks!

There is a guide on adding Widevine L3 for netflix, it should be somewhat similiar.
Do you think it's only a matter of wideline certification?
Is there any suggestion which product is ready or can be hacked for the purpose?

Who knows, i havent got an amazon account to test, so i cannot tell you exactly, but im pretty sure it has to do with authentic TV boxes
Hey guys, i´m looking for a farily cheap box to use exclusively as a steam link device for 4k60, currently i own the OG Steam Link, and while it is a hell of a little gadget, it simply does not deal with 4k60, and my actual TV, even tho it has Android TV has some weak decoding capabilities it seems, i lose frames even at 1080p.
Anyways, anyone has any experience with Steam Link (wired) and any AMLogic S905X4 SoC decoding exclusevly 4k60 games to share?
Are both, the computer and the Android TV, wired?
The chip is for sure more than capable enough.
Let me also suggest you to try AMD link or Moonlight for nvidia.
