We will be in touch
Anyone using Android TV boxes? Half the price of the Apple TV and seeming have more flexibility. It would be to replace an old media extender. So main use it streaming music and able to shuffle and create playlists on the fly. Being able to have a slideshow of photos whilst music is playing would be good. I'd be interested in video streaming if its any good too.
Cheers

About right for all their products then 🙂
Sorry I've not seen it incidentally, but will check it out now thanks.
I'll admit I like apple stuff, but the TV looks limited. Have a look on dealextreme
Anyone?

I've something similar to but notquite as good as [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Minix-Neo-X5-TV-box-XBMC-video-upnp-bluetooth-streaming-media-center-Android-4-0-/321050451800?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Internet_TV_Media_Streamers&hash=item4ac0191f58 ]this[/url]. Runs XBMC with vids from a USB HD, did work from a NAS too but found it sometimes struggled to connect.
Can use any app you care to download from the play store just like a phone or tablet, iplayer, DLNA server,youtube etc. Find it easier to use a cheap bluetooth mouse though. Has HDMI but no optical out on mine which might be better for music.
I've gone for this one. Seems wrong as its only £10... I'll take my chances for a tenner though
HI P20 But can you get the films and TV channels the G Box Midnight does
or is it simply a basic media machine as to speak. ?
Do come back and let us know what you get and your findings as this is the
way to go from now on.
Ive had one for a while and its perfectly fine. Its good for browsing and kids playing Fruit Ninja etc. Have just instslled XBMC seems to work OK. Gonna get another with updated software - at thd prices you cant go wrong.
No huge surprise but, I've received an email from eBay this morning saying the £10 one is a scam and has been removed from eBay. 🙄
Grant, I guess it's a media box, it's suggested that it runs the apps, games etc from the google store and that it should be able to stream media from pc or from a USB stick plugged into it.
Lalazar, which unit do you have?
