Mi Box does not have ethernet, only WiFi. The Mi Box is not that bad, actually, and one of the few Android boxes that can play Netflix and other streaming apps in HD/fullHD/4K.

I was reading here a lot lately, mainly following the discussions related to Wetek devices as they seemed to be best for me, but seeing the chaotical development on Wetek's side like the sudden removing of FTP, telnet etc. from their ROM, I fear I need to look elsewhere and was wondering if someone had a look at the Ferguson Ariva 4K already? I had a "normal" SAT receiver from them and it was quite ok, but not sure about this one.
FUD. Getting upset about the crappy built-in FTP server and security-nightmare telnet server being removed is foolish. But go on, see how many boxes even included either of those on their default firmware.

Hi all
Looking for a bit of advise
A collegaue at work is considering getting some sort of Kodi box
His main requirement is probably for it to be easy to use and Wife / Kids Friendly and to have an ethernet port preferably
I would guess he would not want to be updating things or playing with it much at all - so plug in forget would be ideal
Hes a bit short cash wise but has been looking around the £50-£60 mark
Ive advised maybe try the Tonbox or Q-Box (Android Boxes) but I understand these all have various stability issues of some sort and it is recommened to put openelec on them instead??
Please correct if Im wrong
Ive never used one of these boxes......we dont want one of these rip off fully loaded boxes either btw we want something we can load on and configure ourselves
Install Openelec doesnt sound like something he would be able to do say if a new version comes out quite often
Im thinking that the Amazon Fire Box is probably best for his needs as it seems to be the best of both worlds - although that is pushing the price up a touch
Are there any other recommendations - the Nvidia Sheild would be overkill really
Thanks all
