Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a TV box for my grandmother, for watching movies/TV, through local USB HDD and Kodi.
- The TV itself is 1080p (or under, not sure), so 4K support is not important.
- It would be on 24/7
- Good support/stable ROM. No hiccups, no codec problems, no hassle or looking for workarounds on forums.
- Able to run TeamViewr Host for "tech support"
- Good wifi is a plus
- Preferably 2GB RAM, 8GB for internal storage is ok.
- Preferably under $70
I've seen recommendations for Nagrace NT-N8 but I'm a little weary that the RK3229 is a little under powered when it comes to Kodi and wifi performance.
Ugoos AM1 is another option, as I understand the S905 is faster in general.
The Beelink MiniMX is another, the price is good but I'm not sure how good the support is, compared to the other companies. Also smaller boxes tend to have inferior thermal behavior in general.
RK3368 boxes? Can't seem to find too many recommendations.
Edit: the Xiaomi Mi-Box looks good as well and fits the budget. On paper it looks like it should get far better support than other Chinese boxes.
Any help will be appreciated.
