Help to choose new box

[nmen00v]

Hi,
I need your advise

I would to replace my older buggy and impossible to use ekb328 by a new s905

I found 3 models
#MXQ pro+
#Beelink mini MXiii
#Mini M8S

It will used for iptv,x265 videos,and playing local videos via nas,

Important for me
A regular update (via ota is a plus)
A good network hardware (wifi n/ac & 1gb)
DRM gestion is a plus (for netflix in uhd)
Minimum passthroug problems

What you think about it :-)

Shield

Beelink provides support stick with proven devices that get updates. Or roll the dice and get the cheap clone 😛

For 60$ max the shield is out the race,is the best for me but too expensive.
The pro+ just been launched and i scared for the support
Beelink have a community around but i dont know the network performance

I just got a m8s plus with the s812 soc also 1 gb lan dual wifi 16 gb storage new remote that actually works I dont do passthru so not sure on that but wifi performance has been great ap6330 wifi chip

For hd Netflix none of those boxes will work. Q2 is pretty darn good. I have one that I reviewed but about $100.

4 beelink , M8 & co
3 wetek
