Hi all,
I'm looking at buying an Android TV box for my grandfather who will be using it exclusively for Netflix streaming. I previously tried giving him my old cheap Beelink box but as it was not running a licensed version of Android TV I couldn't sideload the proper Netflix app.
What is a simple to use box that you could recommend? Preferably under $150.
Based in Australia by the way.
Thanks a lot!
Avail in Aust. Walk into a Voda store - Also with a 2 year local warranty - the AUD $72 Vodafone TV:
https://www.vodafone.com.au/vodafone-tv
Runs Android TV Nougat - but has less bugs vs the Oreo on the Mi Boxes. Also includes a DVB-T - TV tuner.
No 5.1 Netflix Audio dropouts either that you would get with a Mi Box.
Jetstream 4K Ultra HD is similar but has ethernet port - it's a Walmart USA exclusive too $69.99
If shes using it just for Netflix, then get her a FireTV 4K ($39). Clearly she doesn't need 4K, but instead will benefit from getting fast navigation.
If you LOVE your grandma, you will get her a MiBox ($59) and an external HDD filled with
porn
classic TV shows and movies.
I'd get a roku for a non tech person super easy to use.
Mi Box S for $59 USD. You may have to buy it off of eBay since it's a Walmart exclusive.
