v17 Is this a good cheap buy ... android box
#1
I just want a cheap android box for my caravan to go on a samsung tv.
I will attach a 1gb hard drive to it and also install kodi 17.3
Main use will be Netflix played through the Samsung TV.
It will not be connected to an AV amp or anything.
Is this android box ok for this ?

I would like to make it dual boot android / libreelec if possible.
Thanks for any replies.

Q. I need a Kodi box that can play 1080p or 4K DRM copy protected video streams such as Netflix, HBO etc. ?
NOTE: 2.0 Audio only from DD+ DRM streaming Apps running on Android TV platforms, unless you have a DD+ connected Audio receiver.
1080p/4K Android Netflix is only possible on media players boxes that are Netflix Approved.
  • NVIDIA Shield (4K + HDR Netflix / HDR Amazon Video)
  • Xiaomi Mi Box (4K)
  • Amazon Stick/FTV1 + FTV2 (4K)
  • Intel machines running Win10, using either dedicated Apps or a Web Browser (Eg. Amazon Prime), very likely other OS's as well.
  • WeTek's Core (audio is 2.0 only)
  • WeTek Hub & Play2 (4K Netflix - using Marshmallow Firmware)
  • Apple TV4

My presumption is that you missed the sticky here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252916 there's just too many boxes to test them all, but most of the no-name variety fail in some aspect and a lot in all aspects.

We are just repeating info here that has already been posted in another thread very recently - this one:

Budget AMLogic S905/S905X/S912 Media Player Options

Closing this thread so all the same info is not regurgitated again.
