Great review as always Chigz, thank you. I just managed to get Airbourne Asphalt on my KD3 and it ran just fine though it did fill up all storage. Had to uninstall to free up space.
I noticed that you had the NOW TV app available. As far as I know, the only Android TV device that the app is available on are certain Sony Android TV TV's?!? Have you sideloaded a version or was it in the Play store or preinstalled etc? Do you have a subscription and tried to play a video? Thanks
its great that MeCool finally fix issue with Netflix .......But why spend $10-20 more for this than the TIVO 4K or Google Chromecast TV or Amazon 4K MAX ??????
I have issues with any kind of TV box sooner or later if it's cheap or expensive. I had pretty good luck with Zidoo x9 but for what a lot of people want now such as games it's too slow.
I checked the price in the link for the unit for that price you would be better off going for a 4K Firestick there's always deals going for them plus we're in 2022 and these companies are still pushing out 8gb of storage!!! keep up the good work my man.
Looks nice, but.. Storage should be 16g minimal since it has full Google play. Meaning downloading and playing their games. I'll pass because of that.. Thanks for sharing tho 👍
Well @ Chigz Tech Reviews i went out and got one of my own back...I opted for the Apeman lc650 (although it's under a different brand name of Yuhear) hasn't turned up yet (tomorrow) but it's had some rave reviews...I've checked your home page and you haven't reviewed it? i'm wondering if you know anything about it mate?
I see on another review that you can't select United Kingdom as a region during setup, which is really frustrating, having just ordered one of these! You won't be able to access numerous apps, including BBC iPlayer. @Chigz, did you find this was the case?!
Let's see here. No expansion. Only 8gb internal only option. Content layout like the Fire Stick. Row after row of sifting for something. At least the Fire Stick has storage expansion. Think I'll stick with the Fire stick.
Good product, but... Shame they didn't have a second USB port - either micro USB (or preferably USB C) to allow you to connect a USB hub for - dongles for standard wireless keyboard/mouse, external storage like USB sticks/HDDs etc... Just think, you've finally got Netflix HD and with that downloadable capabilities (and other streaming downloads etc), but, not enough storage for it... 🤨😎🇬🇧
Very bad title and description because because Google TV OS is completely different from Android TV OS. They are NOT the same. Totally different experience.

@Chigz Tech Reviews LOL i've been watching you for years and i could of sworn i'd subbed ages ago..just checked and i hadn't??! (quickly just resubbed) i don't know if i lost you along the way or summat? weird...Anyway, i'm wondering if you could help on a very quick tip, i'm looking for the highest resolution projector (at least 100") for my bedroom at the cheapest price - so basically Res to price ratio (my room is always dark so no real worries on brightness) any ideas, and then i can check your review on it and decide...Hopefully with an affiliate link so you can get some dosh...Peas! P.s Great review, ive already got Google TV/android tv built into my tv, can you side load apps onto this? I've got TV/Movie apps (i wont name them ;) ) sideloaded on my current telly (yay) but if you can do it on this as well and it would work on a projector you recommend that would be the icing on the cake.

Top Class review as always ... Thank you. Looks a nice, neat item despite the low Specs ....
Your welcome and thanks for watching!
@@ChigzTech is their any tv box official certified Google with 4gb ram?
Chigz Tech Reviews is OTR . keep up the good work bro. respect from Tirana,Albanaia
Best decision I ever made when I brought this and it’s literally set up on my biggest flat screen tv
xiaomi tv stick 4k vs mecool kd3?
You've also listed it as having Android TV OS in the 2022 chart which is incorrect. It is Google TV OS.
I noticed that you had the NOW TV app available. As far as I know, the only Android TV device that the app is available on are certain Sony Android TV TV's?!? Have you sideloaded a version or was it in the Play store or preinstalled etc? Do you have a subscription and tried to play a video? Thanks
Have you tried a powered usb-c hub or multi-port to usb3? maybe this will extend the system with an external SSD with the right connection...
Can I have the external ssd plugged in my the usb on my tv and still be recognized by the fire tv ? My tv is already a smart tv
@@WarmEyes25 Don't know if the USB port have enough power to turn on the SSD... that is why I proposed a powered Hub (uses external plug)
@@silverfoenix I dont see why not. Old laptop of 5v 500ma usb port still works with my external ssd
Does it have developer options where you can force apps to external storage?
Theres optional storage expansion you can order that comes with it.
Yes I just saw that on their website. 👍
its great that MeCool finally fix issue with Netflix .......But why spend $10-20 more for this than the TIVO 4K or Google Chromecast TV or Amazon 4K MAX ??????
Can you make a video mecool kp1 work with kd3?
How does this and Onn FHD stick compare?. Can't beat $15 at Walmart for all drm with major apps.
Will check it out, sounds good though.
The Onn FHD doesn't do 4k, otherwise quite comparable. The Onn 4K dongle thingy is a bargain at $30 ish
KD3 o KM2? Thank for the answer
I think 🤔 kd3

I got the fire tv cube 2nd gen and love it so much
Hi. Will my TV usb port be able to charge this dongle?
No expansion probably won't work for me. Looks like my kodi library would eat up all of the space(the images for the thousands of entries).
Yes internal storage will be an issue, especially for large builds.
You ok Chigz? You sound a bit knackered mate👍
I'm good, thanks for asking.
Looks nice, but.. Storage should be 16g minimal since it has full Google play. Meaning downloading and playing their games. I'll pass because of that.. Thanks for sharing tho 👍
Exactly that.
TBH, 8gb is for Normies not us nerds
You can get an OTG cable and add a pen drive
This vs fire stick 4k? Which one better?
Thanks will it play h265 video via chromecast link
does this tv stick with mecool projector??? Have you tried
Kd3 v buzztv sticks?
Well @ Chigz Tech Reviews i went out and got one of my own back...I opted for the Apeman lc650 (although it's under a different brand name of Yuhear) hasn't turned up yet (tomorrow) but it's had some rave reviews...I've checked your home page and you haven't reviewed it? i'm wondering if you know anything about it mate?
Does it supports permission to write to external storage?
I see on another review that you can't select United Kingdom as a region during setup, which is really frustrating, having just ordered one of these! You won't be able to access numerous apps, including BBC iPlayer.
@Chigz, did you find this was the case?!
Great review looks a nice device shame it has low storage.
Yes I agree
Because of the Netflix agreement.
is it support DVB-T2?
Can you do a 2022 review on Walmart's Onn. Android TV box? Its like a Mini Nvidia Shield for only $19 bucks!
Does it support DV??
Not sure what are the differences with an official Google TV puck, that is cheaper.
Mecool is better, Google’s version has only 4GB storage.
@@ChigzTech O Mecool kd3 possui 4GB de armazenamento. No vídeo aparece os detalhes.
Good morning, could you tell me if the controller is bluetooth?
Yes it’s Bt.
@@ChigzTech OK thank you
Does the stick have the Google play store?
Yes, the full Play Store can be accessed by asking the Google Assistant to 'open the Google play store'.
Nice streaming gem from mecool..😁😁😁👍👍👍.. thanks chigz..
8 gigs is better then 4 The chromecast has .. but it needs to be same price ..
Let's see here. No expansion. Only 8gb internal only option. Content layout like the Fire Stick. Row after row of sifting for something. At least the Fire Stick has storage expansion. Think I'll stick with the Fire stick.
Is it possible to side load APKs ?
yes
Is this device better than xiaomi stick 4k ?
yes
thanks for the detailed review 👍

Very bad title and description because because Google TV OS is completely different from Android TV OS. They are NOT the same. Totally different experience.
So what about APK?
You can install APKs as normal.
Looks like my Chromecast with Google tv lol
8 Gigabytes is 4 times more than the Firestick's 2 GB.
Why would anyone need this when all these apps are already on smart tvs
Has always very good review pity about the specs.
Looks cool.
If this box stick had more storage then maybe... but 8gb is not enough. Shame!

onn 19$ best choice

WHY DO THESE COMPANYS KEEP MISSING THE POINT EVERY TIME ITS EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER. Nvidia is still king
No usb, not for me.
I saw another review where they showed adding storage with an OTG hub
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
test hbo max
Not available in the UK.
Nothing special 😌
