Bought an M8X+. Convince me to not return it please

by catastrofic_sounds

This box has lots of potential but its just so clunky. I got it on amazon but i think ièm going to return it. i have a roku and i cant get hardly any apps that i had on there to run properly on this new box. am i doing something wrong. ive been getting apps from the google play store. is there another app store i should be using

Honestly if i could get a decent plex and Netflix interface on this M8X+ then id probly keep it.

Tell me why i should keep this over a new roku

Return it and something that runs android tv. Then you will get a nice interface for netflix, plex, kodi, youtube and other apps that you can use with a remote control. You can also chromecast most of your devices to it...And you can still sideload other apps. Get the Nexus player or the nvidia shield. Although a new nexus player may come out in a week so you could wait for september 29th and see.

Did you have the latest firmware installed? I think you could maybe try to update it via usb drive or via update manager depending on the firmware installed

I too am torn between nvidia android tv and the minix x8-h plus, but since i'm in europe i can't decide yet. Please tell me how does it go, thanks
