Cheapest price for it since ebay discount but that expired very quickly. This is a good alternative for Christmas

A Crazy amount processing power and graphics performance for a ARM Chip. To get the best from Nvidia Gamestream (Modern GTX Card 600 series or above required) or Geforce Now you need good wired ethernet reaching the box (not powerline adapters). Wi Fi on mine is rather weak and it can't see my 5Ghz channel at all unless I take it upstairs. It's a fantastic emulation box for the TV though even Dreamcast & Gamecube emulation is possible though not 100% yet.

Good price, but to stream games you'll need around 30mbps, and obviously to benefit from the 4k streaming you'll need a 4K T.V, otherwise a great piece of kit, you can load all the emulators on them, megadrive, dreamcast, psp, snes the lot, and it recently had the Iplayers added to them in the last update, but I think unless you got the broadband speed for it and a 4K T.V you're better off with something else.

It wipes the floor with other streaming boxes/sticks in every way.

as someone who owns one. you don't need 4k. it's a fantastic device that wipes the floor with all other android tvs. only bad point is the OS is pretty locked.

What does it offer more than android box?

but to be fair to get the best out of wifi you should get 2 power ful routers and run them bridged. I have the ac68u and have nothing wired anymore.

Gagging to get one despite the tablet being so poorly made. Knowing i could have got one for 125 via the ebay discount the other day has ruined this though. Will wait to see if they do a black friday deal again this yr.

I got one via the eBay deal. Ended up costing £117 with the 20% discount, 1% TCB and 6x Nectar Points bonus.

The point was if you dont have a 4k, super fast broadband and only stream netflix and media you can spend 6x as less and get a new chromecast, a roku box or sideload plex onto a £9.99 Now T.V box and save over a £100 quid, don't get me wrong I want one of these too, and I'm **** I missed out on the Ebay deal to get one the other day, but for the average streamer you'd be better off with a new chromecast.

Is this the thing where you can play PC games on your computer upstairs and it sends the video/sound to TV downstairs?

Yes but it also allows you to stream from a powerful PC located elsewhere to play games even better as long as you have a suitable internet connection

Wait a few weeks and buy a steam link for £40 to stream games.
Steam link works with any gfx card, unlike the shield that requires gfx cards.
Or if you have a fire tv or android device install moonlight. And spend nothing !
