The main thing these things do what people want them for is to illegally obtain pay-to-view channels for free. If you want to watch said channels in glorious 360p or 480p (basically going back 20 years for video quality), and want your 'live sports' to buffer every couple of minutes (i.e stop playing then jump and miss part of something), want constant pixellation and see 'sorry stream could not be found' messages, this is for you.
I gave up on Kodi and the like a few months ago, after spending more time fiddling trying to get a stream to a footie match, than actually watching the footie match.
If you want a awful UI experience, with lots of fannying about and poor picture/sound quality, get one of these boxes. If not, watch MOTD in HD like me :sunglasses:

It's like having an android phone on your TV, you have access to the play store and you can install and run apps like Netflix, plex and so on, it can also play video files from a USB stick or streamed from your pc, it turns any TV into a smart TV.

What a daft thing to say, this will stream 4K the fire stick wont the fire stick doesnt come with google play store you have to sideload everything and theirs 100s of things this will do that the fire stick wont and the fire stick is £10 more. I have a fire stick and its sat dormant in the back of the tv for months why i use my shield or my android tv box. I have to say that this is one of the daftest things ive read on here in ages. Good find OP i have a ZIDOO X6 Pro and ive had it since launch the main reason i choose it was its a powerful box and it gets regular updates but ive never been happy with it so im thinking of getting T95z Plus.

Have you went into video settings and changed 'match refresh rate to video to on start/stop'.?

The other thing you could try is enabling Vertical Blank Sync (both of these settings are on the Output page on video settings). My only concern is that I thought these were both enabled by default, does your screen support 24Hz?

I just go and flash a specific kodi distro like openelec, Android isn't really suited to being a host due to the amount of extra crap it runs.

if possible try to hard wire your internet connection if u haven't done so already, I noticed that the jerky video stopped when I went to the more stable Ethernet connection instead of WiFi.

If you have an Android phone/tablet, it's basically the same thing for your TV
Turns your non smart TV in to smart TV
Turns your Smart TV into an even smarter TV
Allows you to install almost any Android app (same as an Android phone/tablet)
Access to streaming services, like Netflix and erm loads of others
Sort of basic gaming machine if you plug in a usb or Bluetooth controller/joypad
Lots of videos etc on YouTube if you need more detailed information.

Everything you can do on your Android phone or tablet plus whole lot more with the power it has, run apps and games directly on your tv, get a keyboard and appropriate software and you can even use as a PC but the best thing about this is running Kodi which allows you to watch premium TV channels and on demand TV so after a little configuration your able to watch Sky Sports, Cinema /Movies and my favourite Box office so live events such as boxing etc are all free with minimum fuss.

Amazon Fire sticks are rubbish in comparison to these. There so hard to navigate when you have to side load apps. I actually give mine away.
