Don't do it on TV and video

After spending most of the day trying to get the Android TV version of Hulu to avoid crashes, I gave up. You need to download it because this box doesn't show up as an android tv compatible device in the play store so you don't have access to apps designed for android tv, you have to find them yourself, apkmirror has them all however just a coincidence. Almost every app available in the two app stores was installed with an error. The regular Hulu app from the Playstore works fine, but it's designed for touchscreens and the streaming quality is just terrible for a live stream. Did a speed test, didn't even get 2 Mbit/s next to the router, turned off Bluetooth and bam, full speed, but the quality of the live stream hasn't improved, although for Hulu. So you can't use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at the same time without robbing it of its streaming ability and by ability I mean your own media server connected via LAN as Netflix or Revain Prime won't play 4k on that, they just as View 1080p and it was choking most of my 4k files from my media server, a lag chaos. Accord menu layout. The remote works well, as does the keyboard. Even though it's 1/4 the price of an Nvidia shield, it's just not worth all the headaches, the compromises you have to make to not run most applications without ever having an OS update that fixes anything , because it's the only custom OS and your time is wasted. If you just want a basic Kodi box, this will work. If you want a legitimate Android TV app with a streaming device, despite what the listing says, it doesn't.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
