Is the razer forge TV worth buying still? Considering on buying my first android tv box for netflix and kodi mostly
What do you mean still? Was it ever worth buying? Last I heard, it still didn't support Netflix and was buggy.
No, wait for the xiaomi android TV or get the nvifia shield TV.
Was it ever worth buying?
Buying the forge tv was the worst decision of my life, and I returned it.
Buying the Nvidia Shield TV was the best decision of my life, and it still continues to earn every cent of the $200 I spent on it.
Netflix still doesn't work on the forge TV. Buy a Nexus player or wait for the new Android TV box.
Go Shield,wonderful streamer or if you can't afford it...save up,or maybe the new Xiaomi box coming soon
Someone posted that the Shield TV is 33% off for Prime Day in the UK Amazon store. If it's discounted in other regions it would be the perfect time to snag one.
It will not run the Android TV version of Netflix, no matter what you do. I've tried hacked versions of the app, I've tried modifying build.prop, etc. You can sideload the tablet version of Netflix, but that's really shitty for a living room interface. I bought one when they had a bundle deal for July 4th weekend, and I'm in the RMA process right now.
The nVidia Shield is apparently the box to get, so I'm going to snag one of those.
I don't think it was ever worth buying.
I kinda like the Forge TV - it's tiny and has better hardware than the nexus player... Kodi runs fine, but if you want a box to play Netflix I'm afraid the Forge isn't it - as Netflix refuse to support it for some bizarre reason!
So...I am not the OP but I was kinda wondering the same thing. Right now Razer has the device on sale for 99 bucks a bundle of the device and 2 of the normally overpriced controllers. Now I am huge into diving into any and all reviews of both standard functionality and anything Homebrew you can do with it. Everything I've seen is at least 6 months old. Is the Forge TV REALLY that bad? I've got plenty of stuff for netflix. Can you at least run Android games and Emulators?
No don't buy it! It still doesn't have Netflix nor does it get regular updates. You are better off waiting for the Mi Box or getting an Nvidia Shield.
