I believe @nickr is talking about the AMLogic S905X - SCISHION V88 Pro
@JCreeny - the reason numerous users are not putting their hands up and recommending specifically name, cheap Chinese AML S905(x) boxes is because the internal Hardware can be a bit different - even between the exact same named boxes.
For example - WiFi chips change regularly and sometimes there are not even any Linux WiFi / BT drivers available for LibreELEC use.
You have to be careful as well as some S905 boxes only come with 100M Ethernet - not the preferred Gigabit.
HDMI CEC is not all the same due to differing quality manufacturer u-boot code.
Well known - Brand named AMLogic boxes like the WeTek's, MINIX, Vero etc do come with all the same internal hardware components in every box sold.
