There's only one legitimate Android TV version of the Mi Box, just to clarify, and it's the one you linked. That particular seller is over charging by about $30 though, you can get it direct from Xiaomi on Amazon for $129 , and you can probably do better than that if you buy from the states and get it re-shipped or take a trip down.

People will tell you to get the Shield instead, but it's in a whole different price range and not a fair comparison. For the price, the Mi Box is just fine.

I have the Mi box, its a great starter box into the world of Android. I will be buying a Shield in the future for my new 4k beast of a tv and keeping the Mi box for bedroom. Don't worry about what you get if you plan on going the Kodi route.

I have both, Shield and MiBox. MiBox is perfectly serviceable. Netflix works well, I have Plex up and running with a desktop PC as a server and HBO Go works perfectly. Using a smart DNS service to access geo locked content.

Shield has been top-notch. If you have the money go for it but don't be turned off on the MiBox. It's a great little box.

If you want streaming only than that is a great box. If you need android gaming/PC streaming than you got to spend the money on a Shield.

I would spend extra and get the shield. I have both and it's definitely worth the extra money, plus HBO Go doesn't work for me on Mibox
