Looking to get an Android box, mainly for sport but other channels will be a bonus!

Any idea where I can get one? Preferably pre set up as I don't have a clue about these things! How much am I looking at for these?


Amazon. M8 box with keyboard with Kodi preloaded should be about 50-60 quid


Ebay...35-40 quid. I looked into importing thee about 6 months back but the markets already flooded with the things!

Wouldn't bother.Not many channels ever work on it.Decent for sport I suppose if you have the right add ons but if your looking for a Sky, Virgin etc replacement you'll be disapointed.I've got Kodi installed on the laptop now purely for sport and just hook it up to the tele for Palace games.


You must be doing something wrong mate, I've got the box and I get all the sky channels and about a million film channels ?


Exactly...Genesis is the best add on for tv/films that there is! Superb...

There are a lot of junk android boxes out there. The basic system used is called Kodi - it was XBMC. It is illegal to sell them preloaded with all the add ons you will want.
I much prefer to use Raspberry pi version2. I have been using the pis for over 3 years now, living in Cyprus I can get all my viewing using a paid sub at £10 a month from NTV.mx and I also have a sub with Streamtvbox.
I also use some of the other add ons mentioned above, but if you want to be able to view every premiership game live then get an STVB sub or NTV.
They stream the Premier ship channel, and also NBC, CTH Stadioum Thailand which all have great feeds to the Premier League Channel. BT and Sky Sports as well.
Can watch all Palace games live and in good quality.

My Genesis is getting really unreliable. Buffering or just doing nothing. Already reinstalled everything. Is it worth getting a better box or is there a chance it's just the availability of the streams is deteriorating? Works OK with iPlayer.

What do you find is the best add on for the sky channels? I had the epg with iptv stalker but then that went down and I followed a million YouTube videos but everything I tried never seemed to work.Have you got all your channels in sky style guide too?


Pheonix, I4ATV(which is stalker without the epg)

A repository, ie where all the stuff that makes a particular add-in work, resides.
