Ive been using remix mini as a desktop replacement but problem is i cant do portrait mode when i want to. I have a rotating monitor. i would use it on docs, comics, etc...So my question is which is the best full android box that'll let me do portrait mode?
Hi Roberto, Can u pls suggest how to use webcam in tv for video conefrence through android tv box...but app shld be zoom app , whats app or google duo..?? Thanks.
What can you not do with it? With mines I just can't run Netflix in HD or 4K, I could really careless about Netflix since I use either Kodi or syncler, my old android box replaced my cable box. While my new upgraded android box replaced my PS4, the gaming apps I use are Luna plus, XCloud and shadow.
Can I add a Android TV box to a monitor with a HDMI to vga connector or does it require a computer? And how much memory is there for apps that you download
Would it be possible to use something like the Mi Box 3 as a desktop computer? Right now I have a computer that I basically use for web browsing, RUclips viewing, etc. Nothing fancy. I was thinking about getting a Chromebook (or Chromebox) and hook it up, but would a Mi Box 3 or the like work? I have a KVM for other computers that I would plug the Android box into. With the Android box I could get about 90% of what I do all day in a less expensive device... Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Hi Roberto Jorge,i currently have an android box but it doesn't have bluetooth feature.Is there any device i could bought to get the bluetooth feature.Kindly advise.
hello Roberto , i have a question . In the tv boxes which have ethernet connection , can i plug them to my switch and watch anything i want from my server? I need to watch my movies without to transfer them to a usb stick or external hdd ....greetings from Greece , thanks
Is it possible to set up an Android TV box to be a bluetooth SINK profile, so it can receive bluetooth audio from other devices without any special streaming app, and output that audio on the 3.5mm audio jack to a wired speaker? I think this cannot be done with phones because they only support Bluetooth SOURCE profiles (transmit audio)
Why is this better than just using your phone as the ULTIMATE remote control and a Chromecast? Am I missing something? If I could find a way to get my phone to play on my tv without any WiFi, then I'm interested and listening.
Roberto I have been watching yout videos for a while now and have come to value your opinion. I am considering: Omikai R-TV BOX K99. Have you tested this box and what is your opinion about it. Thanks in advance!!
Hey Wilma, i use powerline adapters to reach everywhere here at home with great speeds. ruclips.net/user/RobertoJorgeCsearch?query=powerline heres a video list, my latest video about it is the 2nd one from the top 👍
Since the time of cutting the cord is almost upon us, the Android TV Box is certainly the lynchpin. I'm in the midst of introducing the wife to the wonders of streaming. It's an arduous task since she's bee used to the convenience of cable for years. For her live tv is a must, so we have a paid IPTV service....far from flawless in my opinion...but do-able. We also have a couple of APK's for tv and movies. For me, movies and sports...specifically MMA now. We also have a paid Sports app that my brother and I like. And of course we use Kodi. Oh, and we have Netflix which we wouldn't be without. So about the only thing left to do is say "goodbye" to the cord. I'm not concerned about the loss of a DVR, the wife is, but it's a small price to pay. I appreciate all of your videos and the education you provide to the community. Thanks!!
Hey Bill, thanks for sharing your experience and expectations with us. Indeed the tv as we know it will soon "disapear" as we want to see something that we enjoy now on our little free time and in the future more and more people will move away from the classic cable tv. It will take time but it will shift as consumers these days are more demanding 👍 Im really enjoying this video series and having a great feedback from the community!! 😀
Does enyone have experience in using microsoft office on the android tv box? Can android tv box (mi box S for example) replace mini pc in basic stuff like writing and editing documents?
Still have to subscribe for the monthly rate. I'd try Polaris Office. I successfully hooked up a PRINTER to my Shield. I consider it a Mini PC for sure!
Roberto, could you also add a top of the boxes best suited for Game streaming (besides nvidia shield that costs alot of money). There isn't any info about this on the internet. Only thing i have seen that not all boxes handle game streaming well.
Hey Valentin, this selection here ruclips.net/video/2Y15HWj1Sro/видео.html all handle game stream 100% including the shield. Not all cpus and firmware handles it well and on my individual reviews i always test it and state the results, most work but from time to time we get one that doesn't 😀
thanks. Will check them all out. Yeah, you're the only reviewer of the android TV boxes that even mentions Moonlight in his tests. Would be cool if you could expand it a little . Ex. Besides from your personal feeling about delay/lag , moonlight also reports the decoder latency once you close the stream (my samsung note 4 reports anything from 15-25ms and plays great). Would be great to get those numbers in your tests. Also new boxes might also support hw h265 moonlight decoding wich might improve things on some boxes. Like you said, it depends on the firmware too. This is uncharted teritory and I think many of with a recent nvidia gpu would like to know wich is best for this , besids the expensive thing that was designed for this , the Nvdia shield. thank you for the reply and keep it going :)
In the past i have done a few videos and i believe that i mentioned delay etc but usually i dont release the numbers as it confuses users more than it helps so i prefer to mention if it plays 1080p 60FPS well or not and that way we know regardless of the numbers ruclips.net/user/RobertoJorgeCsearch?query=game+stream There are a few videos that might help, one of them very old with the Z64 Intel devices where i have tested windows, android and linux hehe!! 👍
thank you. Much apreciated. seems I missed those videos. How does AM905 boxes compare to AM912? I always hear that they are pretty much the same in performance (excluding syntetic benchmarks)... Does 912 bring more performance for moonlight gamestreaming or it is the same?
Numbers are very important to me as they reflect the real latency.Keeping them hidden brings confussion. Little to no info on the internet ,but on moonlight's github there are plenty reports of s905 and s912 that have 80ms +latency wich of course means lag. everything over 50ms is a no go and seems that eighter moonlight is not opmized for s905/s912 android boxes or the soc is just not good enough for gamestreaming.
Hi Roberto This the first time I'm have contact with Android boxes so forgive me if my questions seems to be quite simple. Can I use a Android box instead of a normal TV licence ? If so how can I get to watch films and TV channels ? Can I see TV channels of other countries ? Thanks
Hi. I don't know anything about the Android box than i have seen here.. I'm into gaming on PS4 but I also love many games on my android phone. I also use my ps4 for netflix and Amazon. So I'm just looking for a box so I can play android games on my TV. Thx from Norwegian living in Thailand
Hello Roberto. I have a question out of this topic. I have an old PC and when I run RUclips, it shows almost 50% of dropped frames (I know what I can expect from my PC).... The question is: What is the amount of dropped frames acceptable when running the test in RUclips? Thanks.
One thing you didn't mention is you can connect a USB hard drive loaded with movies. I have a two terabyte hard drive loaded with six hundred movies. With room for about six hundred more. All of my wife and my favorite movies. I also have TV shows that we like loaded. Its a movie power house.
IF CAN LOAD APPLE TV ON ANDRIOD TV BOX YOU WILL SEE APPLE WASTE TIME AND MONEY....ANDRIOD KIKS APPLE ASS TO WORK ON ANDRIOD TV JUST LIKE NORMAL SEPCRIPCION 🤔
Several people have done head to head comparisons of various android tv boxes vs FireStick & Fire TV, (which you can open to Kodi, Mobdro anything really) . Most have said the performance was almost the same & some even giving the advantage to the Firestick & fire TV....was wondering what you thought about this, have you ever compared either amazon device to an Android box. ? Forgetting about playing any games, based purely on streaming quality, what do You think ? Really enjoy Your Reviews .. Thanks.
I just stopped 50 seconds into the video just to make this comment real quick: I SOLD TV's (& hifi etc.) for 10 years and priding myself on professionalism there wasn't much I didn't know about what was on the market at any point in time during that decade. Nowdays, having sold my last panel around 3.5 years ago after quitting in pursuit other endeavors (...and never wanting to ever look at another television again at the time haha!) I saw this ''Android TV Box'' advertised and here I am... I know nothing about these whatsamecallits...err u know the thingamagigas!?... BUT if what the first 50 secs u say is true... I might just have a nerdgasm! ''I'll take two of those!'' Oh, and so - yes, what you say about people that have never heard about it before is now undeniably true and you're both very kind and wise sir to have thought of Us, the Oblivious. If anyone gives u grief about it tell 'em to suck it up on the behalf of someone who has well and truly more than earned more than just one free pass on a ''errgghhh! Really?'' remark lmao :) I'll watch the rest now and probably have more question after... ...''Yes. Really!'' ;)
Are there any tv boxes where I can pick TV channels like Comedy network, discovery channel, history channel, CBC, espn, and other sports channels, A&E, much, MTV, and other satellite tv channels?How and what TV box is the easiest to set up and choose those channels to watch? Like live channels
Hey Muhammad and Silver, The U9-H and U1 are very similar in terms of raw performance so the only question is: Do you need Android 6? If yes than the U9-H is the best choice, if you don't then check out the prices on the U1 and if you get a good deal. 😊
I would agree with you Roberto. But where does one obtain a U-9 for under $100? Why would one "need" an Android 6 system if not just to have the most modern system. If you are referring to adoptable memory on the Android 6, I find it very restrictive especially when trying to set up download locations. There are ways to work around this, but it is just extra work. Android 5 handles this very well.
Yep exactly because adoptable storage, if we need it than its worth the extra few dollars of the U9-H + A3 remote pack but off course if we don't need Android 6 as i said performance of the u1 will be very similar and a final user wont notice it 👍
Hi Roberto, this is Jane from Vankyo, sorry to bother you, i would love to invite you to test Vankyo 4K android 7.1 TV box, are you interested? If so, pls let me know, thank you.
Have you ever experienced Samsung Dex? The Samsung S and Note 8 series and newer Samsung devices are all DeX capable, and it uses my phone to turn my 55" TV into an amazing cross between a desktop and Samsung UI. I LOVE IT!
Great video. Any you do the next one while handcuffed??
hi can this be used as replacement for IP TV BOX -mag 322 ? and does it comes with Downloader ?
Roberto,
Thank you for this topic. I have a Vizio smart TV it does not have a search engine. Can I still use the Android box on this TV?
Yes, as long has it has a Hdmi input you will be ok 👍
Ive been using remix mini as a desktop replacement but problem is i cant do portrait mode when i want to. I have a rotating monitor. i would use it on docs, comics, etc...So my question is which is the best full android box that'll let me do portrait mode?

Can we use it as computer using keyboard and mouse, Microsoft office etc.

Hi Roberto, would you be able to recommend a good app(s) or site to be able to play games on an android box with a compatible game pad ?
Would it be possible to use something like the Mi Box 3 as a desktop computer? Right now I have a computer that I basically use for web browsing, RUclips viewing, etc. Nothing fancy. I was thinking about getting a Chromebook (or Chromebox) and hook it up, but would a Mi Box 3 or the like work?
I have a KVM for other computers that I would plug the Android box into.
With the Android box I could get about 90% of what I do all day in a less expensive device...
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Hey Elan, sure you can. Although for that type of usage i would prefer a Pure Android TV Box instead of the TV OS but its possible 😀
Hi Roberto Jorge,i currently have an android box but it doesn't have bluetooth feature.Is there any device i could bought to get the bluetooth feature.Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance!!
Hey Jaime, thanks for the feedback and trust but i haven't touched that box so i have no way of telling how good or bad it is 😀
Thanks for the reply. One other question: any expierence with Ebox R99?
Good explanation. Great voice sir

You can actually find apps on the playstore that will record live tv from iptv services. IPTV extreme is one that comes to my mind.
Dolphin emulator is sick on Android TV boxes, you can even buy a Dolphin bar to make it a full fledged Wii. Other emulator works well too.
Does enyone have experience in using microsoft office on the android tv box? Can android tv box (mi box S for example) replace mini pc in basic stuff like writing and editing documents?

Bro could you please recommend a box under $100 that has 5GHz wifi. I will we using various apps for live tv and movies. No games etc. Thanks!
I would recommend the Minix Neo U-1. I think Roberto does a video on it. Now that the U-9 is out, the prices of the U-1 have come down quite a bit.
Hey Muhammad and Silver, The U9-H and U1 are very similar in terms of raw performance so the only question is: Do you need Android 6? If yes than the U9-H is the best choice, if you don't then check out the prices on the U1 and if you get a good deal. 😊
