I'm looking for a new Android box, I have been looking at the Amazon fire TV box but have seen some higher-spec boxes for cheaper. I have set up a few of these for myself and friends and with my Internet speed I rarely have trouble with buffering (although I never watch live-stream), however I would like to be able to navigate smoother and would like the remote control to be good. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hello there

Im no expert on kodi but i have the minix neo X8-H it runs pretty well on that,Minix have the upgraded ones the X8-H PLUS and the NEO U1 which is the latest i think.I made a post like yours on here and a member on here who has more KODI savvy than me recommended the HiMedia Q10 Pro which is pretty cool if you head over to there website 2 check it out.But in the end something was drawing me to the Nvidia Shield TV box so now im waiting on the Nvidia shield instead.

@emjenny, as recommended, see @wrxtasy's excellent stickied thread: Pick the Right Kodi Box.

Your shortlist of Android boxes should include:
- nVidia Shield
- WeTek Hub (best of the 'budget' boxes)
- HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro (consider only if you need ability to play own 3D ISO's and 4K videos in one box)

Re: FireTV, nothing wrong with gen2 (although gen3 should be announced soon). It's fairly snappy, does 24p and 4K@30 now with SPMC or MrMC (Kodi forks). And, if you're a Prime member, it's the best box for Prime movies and TV shows.
