With these little boxes is it a case of you get what you pay for. Or are they all much if a muchness?

I'm in the market for one but don't know the first thing about them. Is it like the phones you're taking a bit of a gamble buying one. But they generally work out OK?

Yes, you are correct. I’ve used many of them over the years from the minix right the way down. The old boxes from years ago were great. Proper build quality and worked well - they were only 1gb/8gb but I got plenty for friends and still going strong. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a minefield these days with every body on the wagon. It’s impossible for us to distinguish, for the best part, what’s good and bad in terms of quality.

That said, for the best part, and for general non-demanding use, most of the boxes you see should function ok. I don’t know why Bondja80 believes that the MECOOL boxes are better that the tanix, they really are all the same at this price point.

If you’re only putting your toe in the water with these, then one good thing is that they’re cheap, so you won’t be getting badly burned.

Best introductory advise:
buy from Amazon.uk as you’ll generally receive it quicker.
Get a 2gb/16gb box as opposed to a 1gb/8gb.
If you are flush, get the Minix u1
If you are really flush, get the nvidia shield.

Thanks a million. Only feeling marginally flush at the moment, lol. Could have done without the TV breaking this side of Christmas...

I'll look at the minix thanks a million. I'd looked at the mi box (from the other thread on here). But I might as well be looking in a barn door

Edited to say, consider me poor. The minix is way out of budget unfortunately.. I was thinking 50 and anything more than that 60 or 70 it would be as future proofed as I could get it.. Maybe cheap and cheerful is the way to go for now. I can always reinvest next year

Tanix box is amlogic s905w and mecool has amlogic s905x.
amlogic s905x is better processor and faster, and can play 4k 60fps.
