at this point in time, I wouldn't buy anything other than these few options:
self build/tinkerers box: Odroid C3 or alternatively the RPi3 (running libreelec)
budget: Fire TV stick
mid range with built in digital tuner: Wetek play2
mid range: Xiaomi Mi Box 3
High End: nVidia Shield TV
If you look at the KODI v17 Krypton development, they're dropping support for anything stuck running v4.4 (kit-Kat) or older, so your Minix amd MX boxes are pretty much all out of the window, plus they're dropping support for custom Amlogic code which will kill off a lot of the crappier boxes too.
I tried the MX boxes the MXIII and the GT1 and they were both pretty poor, I also tried Wetek hubs which were actually decent enough considering they were only 1gig boxes, but now if anyone wants one, it's the MiBox3 all the way, but only because I can get them for less than 75 euros delivered in bulk, but if I was still in Ireland, I'd probably be getting Fire TV sticks instead, they're just hard to come by (cheaply) downunder.

The boxes running Android 4.4 that can't updated will become obsolete as they won't be compatible with any version of Kodi from v17 onwards. Now, you're fine for the moment as you will still be able to use v16.1 for a while yet, but, just like every other version of Kodi, you will have to upgrade eventually because the add ons won't be compatible with the older versions anymore. When you have to take this step (up to v17), then you will need to get a new box. Don't worry though, by the time that happens, you'll have got more than your moneys worth from it!

You can adjust the picture (and sound) settings on your box and telly, but I'm guessing that it's the source (especially if it is from a free source, picture is always crap on those).
Can you explain that a bit more to me? I'm a bit lost What is VOD? Yes I am watching channels free via this box but resolution is poor yet the dogs on the street are telling me Android Boxes are the business. Paid 100 Euro for the box - not sure if that makes any difference. 0 -

VOD is video on demand. What you are looking to be answered will result in a ban and possible thread lock for anyone who does, look at the thread title, you're on dodgy ground here.0 -

As has been pointed out, you're on dodgy ground here so I can't say anymore than I already have. The price of the box is completely irrelevant, the only relevant thing is the box you have and the specs of it (the same goes for your television). Anyway, nobody wants a ban so we'll have to leave that topic of conversation alone. :cool:0 -
