NATLOR

That Zidoo is outrageously overpriced as are all that sellers products, same product on Amazon for nearly half the price

Nvidia shield is probably the best out there if you dont mind spending that much money on a box.

Other 2 options are bad, dont even think about it.

Minix NEO U9-H is another good option if money is not a constraint for you.

Having said that you can buy decent enough boxes below €100. Like these:

If you are buying subscription from Sky, any of the boxes will do.

Anything grey, cant be discussed here.

I may be wrong but I thought sky were very restrictive in terms of what sky go will run on. Phones and tablets yes but didn't think there were any boxes that it would run on officially. Has this changed?

is there not apps on these boxes to connect to the net to get streamed broadcasts of sky online (is this the grey area)

Why not read the rules for boards.ie,regarding piracy...etc,etc.Instead of posting another question,when a user already alerted you.

Also there's a very large thread on Android Boxes and what's best.I could link it for you,but you can also find it using the search box.

The first box you linked, suitable for a beginner? A mate is after a box which I have to set up etc. I normally use Libreelec OS but he seems keen on Android.
