This little Android box does it all. I'm new to Kodi and Add-on's, etc., but at 80 bucks for free TV, I had to give it a shot. My out of the box experience was not good. I connected over wireless and that was part of the problem. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, the box would lock up when trying to do anything on it. I found out that the box was just trying to update to many add-ons. My recommendation is to first connect this up to a PC monitor or TV, but have it connected to WIRED network. Once all the Add-ons are updated, I would then switch it to wireless.The good: - Add-On's galore! Wow, this had Velocity, Phoenix and many others, so out of the box, without knowing what's the best Add-on's out there, I had the repository all ready for me. I started watching movies, TV shows, etc. right away. It also serves as a Karaokee box! I'm so impressed with the video and audio quality. I happy to say, that I've cancelled Comcast at $80 a month, so this TV box pays for itself. It's a must have for everyone, and I'm getting one for all my family. - I've already added some of my own Add-ons (So easy).The bad: - At this price, nothing is bad. Your TV is now a giant Android Tablet, can't get any better than that.

Not Impressed.
Poor programming. Too much buffering and exterior antenna did not appear to help but just got in the way on placement in tight spots.

The perfect kodi box
I wanted to make sure I gave this thing a through run down before posting this review. Bottom line is this is by far the best of the 4 kodi devises I have owned (two PCs, and a fire stick). Do what everyone else says, and delete the preinstalled kodi build in favor of the stock, and you will have no issues.Most of my usage has been Exodus and Salts, both with and without Real Debrid. This little box handles them both perfectly. Where the fire stick's whimpy processor times out searching for sources, this thing never fails to pull back plenty.Several other reviewers have mentioned that the remote could be better, and I have to disagree. I guess because I only use this for kodi, I see no real reason to get an external remote; just install and enable the official kodi remote for android and you are golden. The 2-3 times I had to mess with the box outside of kodi the remote was fine, especially since it has the "mouse cursor" function.

Initially I'm Very Pleased
wow is all that I can say! I picked this up with some birthday cash, and it's the fastest android box I own. We cut the cord and live off Kodi, and this box outperforms my 3 other MXiii boxes.. And they are very good quad core 2gb of ram boxes in their own right, and I've never had an issue with them. So why did I decide to add this to my cord cutting lineup? There was nothing pressing at the time, and I was curious how the octa core cpu would perform. I haven't ran a benchmark test to compare it to the MXiii, but it's noticeably faster. Very responsive and Kodi loads almost instantly. I stream off Kodi with no issues or buffering. I'll do an update later with comparative benchmark scores, but so far I'm pleased. Something I ran into today was the Google Play market won't load. It's really perplexing, because I downloaded several apps yesterday. Other than that, this box runs very smoothly.Update: Kodi is running perfectly, but Showbox and the Google Play Market Won't Launch. It must be a software issue related to lollipop. I'm very irritated by this and considering returning the box. Decided to keep it after my son showed me how to side load apps. While I'm disappointed google play doesn't work, I bought it to run Kodi. Very fast box and outperforms my MXiii box.
