    Android XBMC TV Box

    Anybody running one of these?
    I'm getting rid of UPC tv next week but keeping the broadband.

    Don't know which one to get. Loads of lads on facebook and adverts selling them for €120-€160.

    I don't know where to start tbh

    I am running XBMC now called kodi from a dedicated windows PC on to my 42" tv and find it great. As far as I know Marlow has one and is happy with it.

    I've bought 3 of these in the past few weeks. No complaints here

    hi Alan,
    These look good...

    Do these boxes let you use / view XBMC ?
    What about upgrades ?

    Thanks, Maurice.

    Remote control, air mouse, android remote apps, bluetooth/wireless keyboard & mouse. Your choice. I use a small BT keyboard and mouse, made for such use, so the likes of the escape and function keys are replaced with items like an android phone/tablet home button, back button etc

    Cheers, I'm iOS with my phone and tablet so I'm guessing I'll have to buy a dedicated remote.

    Yeah, there's regular updates and custom roms too.
    Xbmc / kodi is already installed out of the box.
