Thanks. I'm disgusted with the total contempt Amazon have shown towards their Fire stick customers with their updates trashing more and more functions so alternatives like this are really welcome. Keep 'em coming.
The fact you can side load a firestick is a bonus not a rite try side loading a Roku device you can't but you dont hear people slagging them off
@@andrewmarshall3309 completely irrelevant. When I bought my fire stick it had full ADB functionality which has now been blocked which in my case has screwed numerous apps including launcher manager, all of tech doctor UK's apps, and Adguard app management, particularly update blocking, and no doubt side-loading will soon follow. If I had known this beforehand I would never have bought it.
@@andrewmarshall3309Correct. You don't.
That's because ROKU & APPLE OWNERS are fools
& apparently LIKE $PENDING money on things that you can get cheaper/FREE on other devices. 🤷🏻♂️

My Fire stick played up so much after their shit updates i reset it and give it away then went back to my Chromecast and Xbox Series s.
I'm sticking to the Nokia 3210
The 8210 is much superior 😂
A classic!!
The Nokia communicator is what I'm sticking with, and by far, the superior. 😂😂😅
Yeah these boxes might be ok, but have they got Snake?
Where's the dad joke today? 😂
Shhhhhhh 🤫🤫🤫......first thing I always do is skip forward 20secs.
Great video and very informative as always thanks mate ❤❤
Great review as always mate. I've had one of these some time now, and although the lack of support for BBC iPlayer and itvx is disappointing, Chromecast works perfectly so I just cast to the device from my phone. Job done. So dont let that put you off, I've found it to be excellent.
Not having iplayer & itvx is a good selling point to me. It's a must try for me. Thanks...
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love bro
Thanks for reviewing these boxes 👏👏
Bit of a deal breaker if ITV X,BBC iplayer etc don't work apart from that looks great, remote is 🔥
Good video Free Tech this TV Box looks good.
Cracking on..😁😁😁👍👍👍...finally someone did a review on this one..awesome...
Saw reviews on this box over two years ago. Not a bad box this one - I had one but since given it away and got the next gen one, the 8010 which is a whole load better.
Got one brought 2 year ago it was really good Nokia streaming box really pretty nice
Nice walkthrough I have one your bbci version works well with it as not in store 👍👍👍👍👍 mine was £47.00 Amazon
Interesting box thanks for the review
Been using the strong leap s1 box for years now & its still an amazing box that just works as it should without problems!
I have tried strong leap s1 box and now using strong leap s2 box. Definitely agree with performance.
You tweeted about this at the end of November and I thought you'd forgotten all about it. It's good to have competition amongst streaming devices, but if the box doesn't support ITVX, BBC iPlayer etc, then I won't rush to replace my 4k Firestick. Appreciate the review nonetheless.
ABSOLUTELY especially channel 4.
You can install coreelec onto a usb stick and drop into straight into a usb hub connected on the Nokia 8000 streaming box (although videos don’t play). I then installed Docker on it so can put Ubuntu on it with a virtual network connection. At the moment mines running a home assistant server in Docker.
On another usb I have emuelec so switch that out and can run it as an retro emulator.
I do have the usb-c dvb for freeview tv but I don’t really use the Nokia 8000 I’m android much these days.
Thanks Adam!
Hi. Nokia 8000 is an old box with amlogic s905x3 chip, there are better alternatives for the same money. Let's say the Strong Leap-S3 or, if you want, with a larger remote, like the Nokia Strong Leap-3+ in white. Both have an amlogic s905x4-j processor, 16 GB of space and also support dolby vision, the price of the first is ridiculous and is 50 euros, and the second is 60 euros. Tried and works great. But it has googleTV. The real beast is the Nokia 8010, which has the same chip as the Strong, wifi6, 1 GB LAN input, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB space. Also updated to android 12.
Agreed! I also have the Nokia 8010, way better than this 8000.
Thanks 4 this info but where/how do I buy the 8010 in America?!🤔
I can't find it to purchase online. 🤷🏻♂️
Apparently these NOKIA devices are NOT available for purchase in AMERICA. 🤷🏻♂️ WTF??
😡 🤬
@@Real_American_DAD Homatics Box R 4K Plus is a more premium version of the Nokia 8010, it is more expensive but has the same hardware and software
@@Real_American_DAD Even the Xiaomi mi box S (2nd gen) is not bad, it has the same chip, except that it does not have a LAN input and only has 8 GB of space. If you are not a very demanding user, this is a wonderful box with dolby vision and atmos support and firmware support. Price around 60 usd.
Thanks Adam for what you do!! Please never stop!! We all appreciate what you do and amazon firestick is going to lose a lot of money because they are getting to greedy!!
I've had this box about 6 months and it's good, if you want to expand the storage just insert a memory stick and off you go. Another good thing is , it's made in Europe (Austria I think) so no dodgy Chinese software, as for BBC iPlayer and itvx, I've got those on my TV, so it's not a problem .
Looks good and a better option with the changes coming to fire sticks
Brilliant box,does what it says in the tin 👍👍👍
I have one
Can you get the channel 4 app on this?
Sounds great. It could be bad news for The Fire Box. Too small tho. Bee TV? As always great information. Thank you.
Been using one of these for other 6 months, brilliant alternative to Firesticks, easy to add custom menu and any other apps you want, no blocks what so ever. Try out the 8k videos on youtube and compare playback to a 4k or 4k max stick, these boxes piss all over the amazon range. Only snag is the small storage but easy to fix with USB stick and format as internal storage.
Quality remote too!
Looks very good.
Did consider this one but ended up going for a Mecool. I needed two so bought the KM2 Plus and a Plus Deluxe for the main TV based on some reviews. Have you reviewed the Deluxe?
I think I will give this a go, especially now my fire stick remote control has stopped working after following DocSquiffys advice yesterday, only wanted to get microphone working but now can't get it to link back to fire stick 😡
Hi adam can you install a mouse toggle or do you have to use a separate Bluetooth mouse if possible 🤔
Wondering if going your review the Onn streaming devices, especially the Pro version. Also wondering if its available in the UK😊
I've had one for a few months and it's great. Only downside is no support for itvx and iplayer. Can't seem to find a way around this problem either.
Preferred if it had more internal RAM as 2GB is a bit small. And also the price is a bit more expensive than some other higher RAM models from competitors that sell for a lower price. Do like the backlit remote control. Nice.
I have one and I think it’s quality!
Does sound good if you can get the higher storage version. I'll look them up.
Great review Adam,not being able to install itvx etc is a bit puzzling though,especially being android,bit pricey,not for me although I have to admit I have nvidia shield tv pro so bit bias,even thanks for a good alternative/option 👍
The device probably has some kind of block on it because it hasn't been officially launched in the UK and since it is from a manufacturer like Nokia they probably complied with any kind of thing like that because of expected imports.
Dunno if it's the same with this box..but I had exactly the same problem with my android tv yesterday..once I accepted terms & conditions in freeview play..then itv x bbc iplayer etc..all started working
I have the Nokia 8010. Updated to the latest firmware v12.8.3638 Android 12.
The Nokia 8010, now supports native Auto frame rate switching with Netflix, Apple TV, Prime, BBC iPlayer. Also have an nvidia Shield TV. I can honestly say the Nokia 8010 is a good alternative.
It's one that I considered, but the lack of official ITV & BBC apps ruled it out. Not a bad option if they're not something you ever use though.
No UK TV apps 100% rules it out
@@CJ-yk6zo TechDoctorUK just posted a video about how to get all the usually unavailable apps to work on the Android boxes, it might help 🙂. I think I’ll be opting for a slightly more advanced box myself and using his workaround.
@@Nite-owl Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Ive left android boxes behind for a windows/linux solution connected directly to my TV using the pepper jobs win11 air remote. For me, this is a huge step up in performance and capabilities. I wont be going back to android tv boxes
@@CJ-yk6zo I use Bluestacks Android emulator on my Win 11 PC, but currently use a FireCube for the TV, but I'm hoping to move away from Amazon gear. I thought about using a mini pc and slapping Bluestacks on that, but it's an expensive way of doing things and Android emulators aren't perfect by any means. Glad you got sorted though pal 🙂
i am looking for a top notch upgrade to my beelink gt king pro . what do you recommend?
Brill video 😀👍
is there any box available on the market that works of voice like the amazon fire cube.
Can't grumble for £53 with an eathernet installed and USB ports with expandable storage , yes its 10/100 ethernet but so are firecubes which cost nearly 3x more, I got shield pro after seeing this sent pro back bought this so far its great little box , don't use 4 uk main apps anyway .
@freetech --- What's the difference between Nokia Media Srreamer 800 and Nokia Media Streaming Box 8000?
Why have two devices?
Onn seems to be a much better option as far as price, RAM and ROM is concerned. Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know how to load Kodi onto a DirecTV streaming box
@ --- Is "AV out" port combining the red, white, yellow from composite into a single port?
Does that degrade the audio/video quality?
Funnily enough I literally just got one of these today. It did update but only to version 10?
Please please please can you help me fix ITV-X and Channel 4 apps no longer working on Sony Bravia Android TV. You fixed I Player for me ❤
Any other recommendations for android boxes people please
My OBD device stopped working, wonder if they removed the support
Ahup duck, Well i Purchased Nokia 800 a week ago Wow its a great bit of kit it's fast, no buffering running with ethernet cable running all my Apk apps good storage. On installing it automatically upgrade itself to latest Android system if you're not bothered about having iplayer, itv hub, and wanting to upgrade go for this FORGET firestick there is better performing devices and this is one. Big plus its very easy to use and the back-lit remote is very responsive. I brought this on your review, my thought was I got 30 days to play with it thanks to Amzon No Brainer deffernitely not sending back, love it Ps keep jokes coming they are s***** but always make me laugh 😂 Tada
My understanding was that they werent licenced for Netflix and it wouldn't play in full res...did it do 4k?
Hello.. thank you for the review..I kept waiting for the joke and punch like
have you tried the walmart android box
Great alternative to fire stick
Where can I purchase this. In the United States
Boom 💥
I bought the tx6 about five years ago set it up and it's still going strong every year I think it's gonna stop working and give me problems but nope just keeps going..
To point out why the UK apps aren't officially supported it is because the device hasn't had a proper UK retail launch and all of the devices through Amazon are European imports. We really do have a very limited selection of streaming devices here that get official launches sadly.
the storage alone is a deal killer for me alone with the large remote. I hate those large remotes. Firestick and Nivad shield the remotes are small and can be used under the covers without looking at them. the only seaming box and remote that comes close to Firestick and Nivad Shield is the Onn.
As it side loads I assume you can load kodi which has itv and bbc Addons. No mention of channel 4 or 5, any ideas.
MY5 works on my Android tv , but can;t get 4More
I got one when amazon were blocking software. Gonna be state tv only before long
❤❤❤❤❤
What Android streaming boxes support UK streaming apps such as ITVX, iPlayer (Excluding Nvidia Shield) ??
I'd like to know this also. Useless without the UK Channel apps. What android TV box supports all these?
I lost my fire stick remote so ordered a new one. EVERYTIME I use it a message comes on saying it's updating the remote and not to press any buttons. I've let it do its thing a few times, but now I just press back to clear the message. It doesnt seem to make any difference, I wonder why I'm getting this message every bloody time?
I'll have to dust off my MXIII and see what's going on.Thanks for all your advice and jokes.
It’s long time Adam also strong have android box
Buzz TV is the one I am waiting for
As a U.S. fire stick alternative, I'll stick with the ONN 4K box at $20 and add on the 2 year extended warranty for under 3 bucks.
Try the Nokia 8010
Nvidia shield.
Binned the fire stick for it, flawless so far.
Expensive but worth it.
No gig ethernet?
what is a cats favourite tv show ..the evening mews😂
So I can download cyberflex
Excellent box but not compatible with a lot of apps
But can it run snake?
2GB ram is a no no, especially when your running a VPN and IPTV at the same time. Cheers pal
Nice box but i still think the mecool km2 plus is better
Used my 4k max 2nd gen today, first time for a few weeks....... and it had reset itself 😖 my movie hd and cinema hd had gone and downloader had no favourites. Also had to re set seversl other things, Was gob smacked! The sooner something new comes along the better, will get rid of the 4k and 4k max 2nd gen.
No dolby vision and atmos support
I get a feeling BBC & ITV licence will be sorted sometime this year.
I switched to Shield TV a while ago. Got fed up with Amazon.
Sir you forgot your joke at the beginning of your program,
Did you mean ama..zon is the joke 😂😂
Interesting review, a Nokia streaming box grabbed my attention, but just like their idea on phones, from been the best once to oblivion, they are doing it wrong in my opinion. This is not a 4k box, added to the fact you cannot add the iplayers, and such low memory capacity if you really want to load it heavy with apps, why would you bother? There are better at that price that tick the boxes. Nokia is not who they once were, and that's a shame.
The Nokia brand is just licensed I think so actual product has not much to do with the old Nokia
What? No dad joke? Nevermind, here's one you could use next time.
I went to the zoo the other day and saw I slice of toast in a cage.
The sign said it was bread in cavity.
Why would you get this over the G TV player? At least everything works on that.
That's the firestick buggered more boxes coming online, Firestick....They way of the DoDo.
onn tv box is best priced
Sadly, no UK streaming services would be a definite deal breaker.
I have 2🎉
I'm looking for an official android TV box that supports ITV and BBC, any recommendations?
The only one is the Nvidia Shield. Since it's the only one available in retailers currently. Any ones that you will usually find that aren't tend to be restricted on apps only from countries they were released in.
my nvidia shield i prefer tbh
No joke
Why can't manufacturer's just look at these devices like phones and offer different storage options and they will see that people will purchase larger storage options just like phone's.
can I get kodi onto this box?
I stopped using Amazon fire TV when my fire TV Max got stuck in the boot up loop 1 month out of warranty and all they offered was 25% of a new one
Bought a Strong Leap-S3 for the same price and it performs far better than this one.
Internet port wont work anyone know how to fix it
You didn't leave a LINK.🤷🏻♂️
& I can't find "ANY" Nokia streaming devices to purchase online in AMERICA.🤔
