New XBMC/Kodi box needed

Hello chaps,

I'm in need of a new media box, my current one is a mygica 510b with Linux XBMC and is a bit out of date and isn't terribly quick.

My main use is to catalogue and stream my media library from my pc.

What's the current recommendation for a straight out of the box solution? Budget maybe £100.

I don't want to build one myself or have to faff around too much.

This one gets some good reviews -

MINIX Neo X8-H Plus Android 4.4 Smart TV Box Quad Core Amlogic S812-H Dolby XBMC H.265 HEVC 4K2K 2GB/16GB Gigabit Ethernet 2.4/5.8GHz WiFi Bluetooth4.0 (UK Plug) + Free Plater C120 Wireless Air Mouse https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015F2S6RG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_2fqGwbD7K6KES

Thanks all.

A bit more expensive but without question the Nvidia Shield TV is currently the best box.

Thanks for your reply, It does look like an incredible box but is quite focused on gaming which isn't something I need.

I'd recommend the T8 V3 from droidsticks great box and great customer support

That looks like just the ticket, I think I'll get one of those. Thanks!
