Once again, you have influenced me to get yet another box 😂 My first was X92, then Tanix TX6, and now Tanix KickPi.. and I'm glad I bought it. Such a huge leap from TX6, especially on the certified Google android perks and its 4K streaming. 👍🏻 Even here in Malaysia, we can install our local Astro streaming app, that's a huge plus since other boxes are not compatible. 2GB in 2024? Small on paper, but it just works. It's even smoother than my previous 4GB TX6, loads any stream instantly.
thanks for showing and proving the staffs, looks good, I have no idea if the virgin streaming thing I got is 4K or not, but the benefit it has it can stream the UK Freeview and pay channels if you're still into that. My TV is a Philips Android so this would be kinda redundant for that even if the Android experience runs a little smoother on it. This would be good for the low end LG TV we have, WEB OS is SOOO laggy now cus they infested it with ads and more imaages etc.
I'm wanting to get away from amazon fire I've got the cube and unfortunately this isn't as good such a shame because it's still really good for the money!
Will this box install and reliably run the 'Movie HD' streaming app (for movies/TV series, available from the 'Movie HD Official' website)? I've tried doing this on Roku, Chromecast and a couple of other cheapo Android TV boxes but, sadly, no go. It IS an app I use regularly. I'm not sure if it is the Android TV OS or not, as the 'Movie HD' app works fine on my phone and ageing Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet (which I currently use as a form of TV box... 😎🇬🇧
There IS an alternate to this box with some really good specs, but VITALLY, 4Gb RAM... the 'Tanggula X5 Pro', There are videos on RU-vid showing this Android TV box... 😎🇬🇧
I am sick of the adverts on my TV and on my Firestick. It's my fuking TV I don't want ads ! I tried blocking them with my firewall and it broke my apps. So I think this box will be perfect for my job. One quick question, can it output 192KHz/24bit audio over hdmi? from VLC or similar thanks.
Such a shame it only has 2gb of ram and a 100mb lan port. A USB 3 port would have been nice too. Shame really as the software side looks better than average. Still, at the price, it's a strong effort. It's the 100mb lan that lets it down for me as it seems to cope OK with only 2gb ram.
@@ChigzTech At the price though I'm seriously considering a punt on it. If it doesn't live up to expectation I'm sure I could offload it for pretty much what it cost me. I'm in the market for a new box, but getting tired of waiting for the shield to drop in price enough to be a bargain.
Great review. Chigz please review the new formuler z mini stick / dongle. Dont want to buy a new fire stick. A lot of chat recently about amazon locking fire stick OS soon. No sideloading...
Hi. So the 400mbs Jelly Fish did not pass because of the usb 2 limitations. If you copied the file to a usb type c drive, or copied the file on to the box would it pass then?
If only the price was a bit higher and the ram was a bit more could be worth it mate did you see my comment/message on the acemagic pcs bro? Dont buy them mate they loaded with malware! 🚫🧢 In other news it my moms birthday today shed of been 54 today but she committed suicide 9 years ago when i was 21 😔 she's looking down for something tho and still got me even tho it her day i ordered a nothing phone 2a yesterday and it will arrive today when it should take a week...🤯
A pretty but low spec box... which would be okay of it supported dual monitors. It's simply inexcusable that in 2024 there are no android boxes that support dual monitors. That's why I use a mini PC. I gave up on these boxes about 5 years ago.
As always, every android tv box (even more the certified ones) have really weak and disappointing hardware! The only android box I ever saw with decent hardware is the H96 Max V58, but then again that box is not certified for anything (so streaming services and apps will run at garbage video quality), that box also uses hacked and normal android (aka, is not android tv, and it has a bunch of hacked stuff to work at landscape mode all the time) and its software is also unsafe cause it usually has spyware\malware etc, in other words, it keeps calling and sending china your data at minimal.
