This Android box has 2Gb - so first box ticked [ green ], and I just can't believe that something the size of a packet of Players (tm) cigarettes does so much. In use: - Breeze to set up, and as long as you know your WiFi password, then it's a snap. The main screen looks just like Windows 8.0 - but I can live with it. As previously mentioned: the remote is bog standard, and is fine for changing channels but that's all. So with my purchase I also bought a BlueBeach® 2.4GHz Wireless Air Mouse Keyboard + TouchPad Remote Control for Smart TV / Android TV Box / PC / HTPC / IPTV / Media Player / Xbox 360 / PS3 - At 8 quid it's not bad, and is definitely needed to set the box up. Other considerations. - The primary reason I bought it was because I'd got fed up with, ... 1.) Waiting for Netflix to load via my apps in the useless TiVo Box from Virgin. 2.) Not having desertcart Prime on the useless Virgin TiVo box. 3.) Having a redundant Now-tv box that I've lost the remote for. Yes it did work with a mobile app, but its a pain, and the wretched thing didn't connect every time I turned it on. So from the above restrictions and annoyances: I figured that I'd put all my apps in one basket and took the plunge. (SPLASH!) Netflix installed [tick] - no problem, and loads in a flash. desertcart Prime App installed [tick] - no problem and also loads in a flash. SKY Now-tv app installed [tick] - can navigate round the menus [tick] - But the damned thing won't stream saying that HDMI is not supported, but lots more are available. {it starts with 'B' has eight letters in it and end with a 'T'} Damn and Blast! -- The Android box itself is fast and brilliant to use and no fault found with it, but if you want to use Now-TV on it ... then look else where, and it apparently is a known issue with these boxes. NOW !!! - Did I mention Damn and Blast? - BTW if anyone knows a ** NOW ** work round, then I'mall ears. P.S. -- Didn't attempt to install Kodi or the Showbox Apps, I just don't need the grief of setting up a VPN, but the pirate programs are both on the Google Play App Store should you be so inclined to dabble with them, and apparently this neat little box can run the Apps no problem. Verdict: it's a nice product with potential, but just don't expect it to run **legal** content: *** ILLEGAL? *** - No blooming worries. RGDS - Terry. Review: My box died after a couple of weeks. - I bought this product and found it very good quality and value. Unfortunately after only a couple of weeks the box would not switch on and appeared dead. I returned it back to desertcart for a refund.

My box died after a couple of weeks.
I bought this product and found it very good quality and value. Unfortunately after only a couple of weeks the box would not switch on and appeared dead. I returned it back to amazon for a refund.

Lovely compact device that is quite fast
This was an upgrade from my older 1GB ram TV box that just didn't seem to cut it lately. Setup was simplicity itself - power it up and attach to the wired LAN (you can attach wirelessly of course, but I prefer wired) and you are ready to go. You have the option of using Google play to install some apps but if you want to just play back movie files from a local memory card then this is ideal. The supplied software does a good job of playing back and the quality of both sound and video is excellent. You are bettter off using your own wireless keyboard though as the supplied remote is fairly limited as they all are. Its fast, responsivve and very compact so it will slip in well behind the TV. Great value.

Could be better.
I have had this for a few months now and it is ok, however if you decide to go with this item, you do need to know a few things: Invest in a wireless mouse and/or keyboard etc as you cannot scroll with the included controller. You cannot use it for NowTV. We really only use it for Netflix and BBC iPlayer, but even now it doesn't want to load Netflix correctly or update properly. Do your homework and don't expect and easy ride. For proper tech savvy people only.

Great little box.
Picked this little box up for an iptv subscription that I subscribe to. Can not fault it. Plays my iptv service brilliantly. Other than that I only have 2-3 apps installed on it (as I only use it for iptv and streaming movies/tv shows) and they all work perfectly. The box itself is nice and small, came with remote (great for the iptv service but for other apps it is worth getting a keyboard remote), hd lead perfect length. Well packaged and arrived on time

READ BEFORE BUYING
This android box is S H I.... You get the jist. I bought two to test these out and here goes. The first android box is dead on delivery, does not power on whatsoever absolutely useless never seen nothing like this in my life. The second android box actually powers on surprising but the Wi-Fi is inconsistent and disconnects/reconnects every one or so minute. All in all this was absolute WASTE of money. Would not recommend whatsoever

Problems with WiFi
It's very easy to use and does what it says BUT all that only when you use an etherner cable. A lot of problems with WiFi connection. Not every time connected and needed restart and sometimes the whole screen freezes and needs to unplug. When I used the etherner cable all the problems gone!

Great TV Box for android apps movie apps. Easy to use.
Great little box, exactly as described. I bought this to install a few android apps and also as a media player for our caravan. Easy to setup and plenty of memory for lots of android apps :-) delivery was super fast.
