android box noob here. looking to get my first one

by fallen75

so I'm tired of netflix. been thinking of a box for a bit now but know next to nothing about them. I have a friend who offer the M6 jailbroken with apps installed for 150$ can. how is this box compared to others? is it an easy set up?

Don't. Get the nvidia Shield TV. It's 50 more but you will not regret it! It's the best out there. Easy set up, just install kodi with your favorites addons , a few app from the play store (or aptoid tv market). I hesitated a lot becauset they are cheaper options but this one is the best, trust me.

You're being downvoted because this subreddit is about official Android TV boxes not boxes with a smartphone Android OS hacked onto it. We will never recommend those because they are generally crap.

This "box" you're looking at is absolute garbage. Get yourself a Nexus player (which is actually cheaper) and you'll be happier and better off.

Get the Nvidia Shield for an extra 50 and install the apps yourself or search the internet/YouTube/Reddit for help.

so what's the advantage of this nvidia over the M6 n m8?

not paying extra for 4k, or to play games on and a support form. that's what reddit is for
