Probably the cheapest you will get for 2GB Ram.

Only 8 Gig Rom, which might bother people who use Android, but just flash Libreelec if you want to stream / use Kodi only.

Not sure what kind of rep Gearbest have on here, but I have personally never had a problem with them.

Great price for combination of AML SOC + 2GB RAM regardless of limited storage and no dedicated SPDIF. Thanks.

Yes, looks good. You can't really lose on eBay, even if it's a scam you will get your money back. I bought one off there the other month for about £13 but it never got sent, ended up getting a refund.

Scam save your money and time
Lots of these popping up on ebay , they get positive feedback for cheap items and the start selling considerably cheaper items

If it looks too good to be true,then it probably is,it's far to cheap for it's specs

I would be interested to know if you actually get it. I'm wondering if I could install Linux on it and use it to power my homemade teleprompter project. I'm suspicious of the sellers given how little feedback they have though and I'm afraid that they might be fake knockoffs that don't function as well as the devices they purport to be. If they do though, I'd love to know!

I'd go for the Smart Android 6.0 TV Box 4K Quad Core 2G DDR3 16G EMMC S905X M96X Pro Player, myself :thumbsup:

Don't think that would turn up.
Just look at the feedback,none for months and only 28

Are there any new roms for these or do they have root/recovery etc.

I dropped out of the boxes years ago and moved to dedicated HTPCs but recently grabbed a couple (from HUK) last week to tinker with which had firmware links to them (and a place to start reading up on).

Last time I had boxes it was a nightmare to find out who made them, board models etc which eventually put me off them.

I think updated android ROMs you would struggle to find. Personally as I only buy them to stream media from my NAS, I just flash libreelec to them. It supports all s905x boxes for wired connection and 99% wireless.

Ah that might be an idea then, use a cheap one to play with libreelec. TBH getting bored of playing with Android, never touched libreelec :smile:

You should've put 8GB ROM in the title.

bobobalde to RiverDragon8

11 Sep 17 #10

I put it in the description, can you find it in your heart to forgive me? Are we still friends?

Edit: I also spelt the name wrong, it's caidao. Not been a good day.

RiverDragon8 to bobobalde

It's called constructive criticism. Most people just do a copy and paste job for the title. You on the other hand know this box only comes with 8GB ROM so you didn't put it in the title.

Can I still come and play at yours on Saturday though mate? The things you are typing are making me feel like it could be over between us? Say it ain't so.

Great price, would get one if I didn't already have a few S905X boxes, mine all run LibreElec from a fast decent MicroSD card so rom is irrelevant to me, would be nice to know wifi chipset though.

bobobalde to dcx_badass

11 Sep 17 #13

Yeah I've been trying to find out but can't get any details for it. I'm like you, got too many of these boxes now, not enough TVs to connect them to :stuck_out_tongue:‌ :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone know how these compare spec-wise to the Schishion V88 (Rockchip 3229 Quad Core, 1GB / 8GB) boxes that were on offer from Banggood recently?

Reason I ask, I bought 2 of them (one for me, one for dad). Mine died after an hours use (no blue power light at all), but dads was fine. Got onto Banggood who sent out a replacement... then dads died with same no power/blue light.

Then my replacement one died at the weekend gone, same symptoms.

So it cant be coincidence that 3 of them all died within a a few weeks of usage.

Would like to get another each foe me and my dad, but want one that might last a bit longer!

Cheers

before you run off, could you please tell me what do you use this for?

If you leave android on it then you can do whatever you can do on any other android device, surf the web, do some basic gaming, watch movies etc.

If you are using it purely for media then flash libreelec on it or run it from an SD card and it will be better for that than it would be natively in android.

bobobalde to johnson293

They are a better spec and support Libreelec which I'm not entirely sure if the rockchips do.

Can't guarantee they won't break after 2 weeks, but I have about 6 s905(X) boxes of varying makes and not had one go pop as of yet.
