Streaming Box Recommendations

[CityInk]

I am currently using the Nvidia Shield in my living room. However, I would like to add a box in my bedroom to replace the firestick that is currently in there. I don't want to shell out the money for another Shield though. What are some recommendations for a decent box that will get the job done? I don't want a $5 box that I will want to throw in the bin. But, on the other side of it, I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money on a box that I will rarely use. Thank you for you time and I'm curious to see what some of the recommendations will be!

I think many boxes will do the job". depends on what else is important for you .. Since i wasn't happy with my MAG, I bought a Vero 4k+ and it's exactly what i wanted. It's not really cheap, but way cheaper than Nvidia Shield.

I can recomend tvip 605 box

Well I have 1gb internet so speed really. It's a shame to have all this internet speed and have a slow streaming device. Ethernet port and USB would also be ideal.

I like you have and love Nvidia Shield, I think whatever else you get will make you dissapointed... so if it is just the money buy a used Shield.

I use that TV maybe a couple times a week at the most. I just can't justify spending the $179 for a shield for in there.

Nvidia shield is really good for iptv

Better than TVIP 605 extremely good box the Formuler Z8

Just the cheapest is I guess a RPI with LibreELEC and config Kodi and you are done. I think its hard to do cheaper than that.

Hello, in the update of tvip 605, the MODE MAG API has disappeared and now GSTB appears, I try to put a portal and it does not work, can someone help me?

Hello. I completely agree with you. $ 180 is a lot of money for a TV box that you use little. My best recommendation to you is: TVIP 605 or Android TV stick, which is similar to Amazone fire TV stick, but much cheaper. I bought one for $ 50 and it seems hassle-free. send me a PM if you want a link on it.

I've tried that box. It is definitely not recommended. It's a limited Android OS.

 

[Sense]

Limited in what way ?

 

[uriX]

You can't find all applications in the Android store.

 

[Sense]

Its Android TV OS .. So yes not all phone based apps can be found there.. However.,, We are talking about streaming IPTV .. And for that you can use ANY iptv app.. Even the ones not found in the store

 

[uriX]

You right. Maybe he just need iptv app.
