    Android Box Advise

    Hi Guys,
    I am new here, and in the past have built my own Htpc boxes based on a windows operating system, but this time I'm looking for something for a bedroom to stream TV with.
    I have heard good things about the T95z.
    Is this a good box for the money or are there better boxes out there?
    I will probably put kodi on it and amazon if that helps?
    I was looking at something with 32gb storage and 3gb ram but us that necessary for what I want it for?

    Many Thanks in advance

    NVidia Shield is the best box out there.

      Any advice for a Box with 3GB+ RAM and Netflix in HD support? Cheaper = better, but 4K, no lags and Netflix (and other DRMs) is a must have.

      Xiaomi Mi TV Box is weaker (2/8), but is it best choice here?

      Nvidia (2017 one at least) is out, coz of price and availability in Poland. Original Shield TV is still more expensive than Mi TV Box...

        Hello every one!!!! Since I'm new here, I might be sound stupid by asking this question!!!!! I have an x92 2GB/16GB Android tv box and a Transcend Storjet M3 500GB external hard drive!!!!! I want to connect the hard drive to the tv box, so, do I have to connect it directly to the box, or do I have to use a TP LINK USB 3.0 HUB that I also have?????
        Thanks in advance for any correspondence!!!!!!

          Welcome...to freaktab
          You need to use a external powered USB hub or better a external powered hard drive (big he's req 12v 3a)

          Cheers

              And preferably one with a 2.1A socket. I used to have a D-Link DUB-H4 through which I connected a 1TB USB-powered HDD to my Minix X7.

                      For someone who can afford it and he's a heavy user of such gadgets, hell yeah..... Nvidia is beyond competition!

                            Are you sure it supports Netflix in 4k? Does it have HDCP 2.x?
