UBox is yet another cheap Android TV box manufacturer. Tried out a sample AML S812-based box provided to me for review last year, and was underwhelmed. Didn't bother posting a review. Recall it struggling to play even 40-50Mbps Birds and Jellyfish bitrate clips via my NAS.

Hi,
I am new in the KODI world! Right now, I am using a WD TV to stream my own library. I would like to move to KODI and buy a good box for it.
See below my criterias:
- Most of the time I will stream my own library with KODI
- I want a good and stable hardware
- A fast navigation and and fast playback
- A fast wifi 802.11ac 5GHz
- Audio passthrough
I selected 3 models and I would like to know the best pick for my criterias. If you know a better model let me know:
- Amazon Fire TV 2 (4K)
- WeTek Core
- ASUS Chromebox
I await your response as soon as possible and thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
My AV Receiver, Pioneer Elite SC 25, support some audio formats like, DD5.1,Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, but it doesn't support ACC audio file. With my WDTV, my setting is HD Audio Passthrough (Bitstreaming), the AV Receiver decode the audio. But with the ACC file the output is like stereo.
I would like to know if I buy a KODI box like (Amazon Fire TV 2 4K, WeTek Core or ASUS Chromebox) if the sound will be outputted in Digital format with ACC file and not in stereo ?
PS: Also, I hesitate again between the 3 boxes, can you help me to pick the best one?
Thnaks a lot and I await your response.
Regards,
Willow

Hi, wrxtasy.
I apologize if you've already mentioned this elsewhere, but in your original post, you reference a modified, remote-friendly Netflix app for the Wetek Core. Can you point me towards the .apk file for that? I just got my Core yesterday, and the regular Android Netflix isn't doing it for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can somebody please recommend a box for me? I already have a Tronsmart MXIII Plus which is doing the job for me in the living room but im looking for another device for a different room.
I have the following requirements:
- box will be situated behind the TV out of line of sight so an air remote is a must
- i will generally be using it for Kodi, watching sports and movies
- i would also like apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 etc. For catchup TV
- ideally i would like to spend less than $100 if possible
Thanks
*EDIT* I think i may have inadvertently suggested the Fire TV 2 that matches all the above. Currently available for £65 ($93) in the UK. Is there anything out there better value for similar money?
