New media/streaming box needed

kaptainmarc · 17 Jan 2016 at 17:07

Currently using my ps3 for netflix/nowtv/prime

Recently moved rooms and the wireless is absolutly shocking keeps dropping out and struggling to stream even low quality.

Looking for a box to run all this kodi would be nice aswell. Would like it with a keyboard remote and nice easy plug and play. Got a budget around £60

If you've got bad wifi then a new box won't improve it.
Perhaps you should be looking at some way of improving the wifi.

The wifi singal on a ps3 is shocking. Fire stick is fine but I want something to run all the services instead of having different devices for different services

Roku 2 - about £45.

Does pretty much everything.

I like my FireTV. It's almost always available for £64 somewhere.

Can use a wired connection which is going to be so much better than any WiFi device. Does Netflix, Prime and Kodi, but not sure about NowTV?

Sounds like you already have a Fire Stick though? If that's working, why not just use that?

Cant use now tv on a fire stick which is the problem

Skeeter · 17 Jan 2016 at 18:23

Is that the only thing you can't do from what you need? Can you still get NowTV boxes for free?

Would like to be able to use a browser with a keyboard remote. And be able to stream full hd easily. Got 100meg fibre

Android boxes are getting better, I own the T8 from droidsticks excellent box with brilliant customer support. But id spend at the top end near £100 for one that gives you excellent build quality. And gives you a genuine box no clones. The minix u1 is proberly the best android box out at the moment with the new s905 chip. a lot of the boxes are still using the s812 chip same as mine. The minix neo u1 is the same price as my T8 and better spec with the new chip and HDMI 2.0. The only downside to the Android boxes at the moment is the GPU. They don't seem to be going any further with the Mali-450 Octa Core. But im sure that will get better in time
