I bought a similar one a while back impulsively. Great bit of kit. Ideal if you want more control over your media players. And it's portable too.

Good price, heat added. I was tempted but I doubt it would run kodi much better than my fire tv stick. Bargain for anyone wanting to try kodi though!

I agree. Cheap & nasty Android boxes have become KODI boxes.
And when buyers realise it after using...they curse KODI & not the crap they bought!!!

Got one of these from Gearbest a few months ago, and was DOA. Trying to get that sorted with them took a few weeks, and all I got was credit on my account for the value. Searching Google at the time, to try and see if I could fix myself, and it seems these boxes are riddled with issues.
A couple of quid extra, and has a UK plug. Set it up last week when it arrived and it's a lot faster that my Fire Stick when using Kodi, especially for PLP.

I hear you!, can be a right pain in the rear that?. :-(
Glad you got it all gooooood in the end. :-)
Your link is less than the price I paid for my own Deal a few months back!, if only I'd like waited some, huh? (that's hindsight for you ..... ) lol.

I have an android box that uses same Allwinner H3 SoC as found in the Beelink X2. Compared to Fire TV stick, my H3 based box does seem a bit more responsive when navigating KODI menus etc. The H3 is a quad core 1.2 GHz vs dual core 1.0 GHz of the Fire TV stick.
Earlier versions of KODI do not output 1080 correctly on the H3 - the video is downscaled by KODI to 720p. Fortunately, it looks like this has been fixed starting with KODI Jarvis 16.
If you specifically need to use the USB sockets, then the X2 is probably fine as a budget box.
fwiw, I find the catchup TV apps from BBC, ITV, 5 and Channel 4 work very well with the bluetooth remote supplied with the Fire TV stick. The same apps from Google Play just don't work so well with the standard cheap android remote supplied with android TV boxes.

Hi guys in need of a bit of help, does anybody know if you can get the vhx.tv app on any of these android boxes?
I know they have an android app just wanted to double check you can get it for these android boxes before I consider buying one, also do they have the full google play store? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
