Thanks for the replies.

I managed to swap a couple of hours of labour for a MXIII-G.

The box works great 28000 on Antutu and 955 on antutu video. 83Mbits on 10/100 ethernet. Wifi is weak but I don't use it

Agree with Blinkone, a smart tv box comes with no OTG will cause a lot trouble, and I stumbled upon this box, which looks decent, the review is quite detailed. http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/08/...-telos-review/

There was one line in the Tronfy review that would put me off completely right now.

'Following the catastrophic results with Kodi in this box, I just decided to skip video testing of AVI, MKV, VOB and MP4 movies, as I don’t see why I have to waste my time further with such a poor product.'

Personally I think this is related to the pre-installed version of Kodi they put on there. I have the Tronfy MXIV Telos and Kodi play store version (15.2 RC) works far better than what he experienced.

That's good to hear.

I did wonder why the reviewer didn't at least try an updated version.
