As it comes to mouse/keyboard for those things:
Bought this one for the Nexbox
And have this for the Beelink:
Like them both but a combination of the 2 would be best (for me)
Not a fan of touchpads in general but the backlight and the "bigger" keyboard of the Rii are a plus.0 -

Hi guys,
Advised it would be better to ask this question in here,
Does anyone know if there is an android box that will run the official eir sport app? - Only interested in legal means and want to run this as I'm getting tired of looking at a laptop connected to a TV. I'm stuck in a Virgin Media would just get it from them if I could. I've heard it works on a MINIX u1, can anyone confirm that they have got it to work on any sort of android box?
Don't want to buy a box that doesn't work, and have to wait a month to remove it if doesn't work.
Thanks
Hi Mike,
The Minix Neo U1 is up there with the Shield as the best box on the market at the moment. However, it is going to be replaced soon with the U9 - if you want to wait for the newer model? Although, the U1 is going a bit cheaper at the moment because of this (i.e. it's going to be replaced). I'd definitely recommend a Minix, but if that's going to be the only thing you use it for, others might suggest a cheaper box...
As regards the BT app, I tried it myself and the quality is rubbish! Very poor SD quality streams, you can't get HD with it. I asked.

I doubt very much that the U1 will be replaced by the U9, in fact I would be pretty certain that both boxes will be available in parallel, same as the x8h and X8H+ plus were/are. The former had the s805 SOC and the latter had the s812, so they provided for 2 price points for Minix.
Also I wouldn't be sure that the U9 will be available all that soon, from what I hear Minix have had a box ready to go as the U9 for some time now, but the Amlogic 912 SOC has proven pretty buggy, and Minix aren't happy to release it as is, unlike other OEM's who pretty much rushed out boxes out as soon as SOC's were shipped, and are dealing with the fall out now.0 -
Thanks for that Herald, great post!
The word that I had heard was that the U9 was ready and was going to be released soon, hadn't heard what you said at all to be honest.
However, that is why I would always recommend a Minix as they won't release a box onto the market until it is tried, trusted and proven to be ready. They might cost more, but they certainly last a lot longer and perform great!

Just a quick point, Minix did release the X8-H and it was buggy as hell for about 12 month. I had it from release. The OTA updates did not work and the manual updates required a reset of the box.
Some of the threads still up on forum: http://www.minixforum.com/threads/ota-updates.363/
They got a bit snotty on there forums as well,
Once they fixed the X8-H box it was great I will admit0 -

I've a Minix X-8H myself for a few years now, but never encountered any of those issues to be honest - but I think it was out a couple of months before I bought it.... Perhaps they learned their lesson from that launch and are holding off on the launch of the U9 so as not to make the same mistake again? You're right on your last statement though, it is a great piece of kit alright! 0 -
