Newbie - looking to purchase an Android TV box

[Raj909]

Hi, I'm new to IPTV and doing some research to find out what Android TV box to purchase. I'm curious to know what recommendations you all have as I'm not sure whether to get a S905, S905X or the new S912 CPU. There are many out there that have a poor remote control so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm planning to use the STBEMU and deciding on which of the private servers to go with.

Thanks

Dreamlink T1. Can't go wrong.

Thanks. I read there is no Google Play store. Does that mean I can't download other applications? The Amazon Fire TV seems very powerful and sideboarding looks fairly easy. Are there any issues with running STB on that platform? It would be nice to stream Netflix HD.

get the fastest processor for internet and speed thats your best bet dont get old ones to slow for whats out now and yes t1 and avov 4k are just to slow now I'm not bashing any of them just in my eyes they can keep up with 4k they are coming out with new ones when i cant tell you but they sure got too how do i know this well read up and you will learn if not using 4k the boxes are the best out there imo just 4k need a faster processor and they can tell you that too but hd and sd you can beat having a t1 or a avov 4k oh and need way more ram

I ended up getting the Amazon Fire TV and it's working like a champ. Sideload with Total Commander and installed APK file. Speed and quality is great. Happy with remote and especially since you can use iPhone to control... if only I can figure out how to set favorites and click the colored buttons.
