Hello,
In this thread, i want know something about all those "Chinese'' (or is there any original) Android TV Boxes and media players.
I saw on eBay some stuff. Looks well, too.
I want to buy one, becouse i'm big android fan, and i can't live without Android.
So, does anyone know some information which is better to use?
Just wait on the next version of Google TV.

I'm looking to Sony Google TV, it looks awesome, but price isn't very good, too. But is that good? Also, Logitech Google TV looks awesome, but which one? Or, maybe any chinese Google TV?
I have the Logictech Revue, its pretty cool. They say new boxes will be available this summer or fall.

I had both the Logitech Revue and a Geniatech ATV1000 (Android TV) and ended up selling the Revue because I liked the ATV 1000 better.
However the ATV 1000 does require a little bit of work to make it good but after updating to a newer firmware the box is awesome.
I mainly use it for streaming videos online and it supports a lot more video formats than the Revue did. I also had a lot of problems with Netflix on the Revue. I was constantly having to reset the box to make Netflix work again.

Thank you for information. Maybe i just have to buy apple TV? Don't know why i want it, but all reviews about Logitech Revue is bad. Or maybe any of those all Chinese Android TV's?

Hi, with the latest Ice Cream Sandwich update, did you manage to get YouTube working on the ATV1000? If so, how did you do it?
Thank you.

I actually prefer using it with Gingerbread (2.3.4) (firmware 20111102) I have the best luck with it and it is really stable.
Youtube works alright but sometimes when searching videos it times out and I have to hit the retry button. However my A500 and Nexus tablets occasionally have the same problem.
I mostly use the box for streaming online movies from Putlocker or Sockshare for this it works really well.
I hope this helps. Good luck
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 $1,299 makes up for that) and I know their Android apps don't currently allow it either, but I figured I could install Ultraflix or YouTube on a 4K capable box and am wondering which is the best. Right now my research is leaning me towards a box with a Amlogic S812 chip. Any other suggestions?
Hello everybody.
I recently bought an Android TV box for about 35$ 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)
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
Will realme 6 ever get HD streaming option for prime video? Have been waiting for some time already.
