Is this a good price for a 2G tv box?

This is from the new UK Warehouse of Gearbest, so free quick shipping and somewhere in the UK to return it to if there are problems. I`m no expert on these but generally it looks like a bargain

not to shabby may have to have a look around for reviews and stuff those wee boxes you can do so much with them

I`ve got the Amazon stick thing, which is okay but like the look of this one, the stick can go in the bedroom

I went for this one

I've had an Android box for a couple of years now........Great bit of kit........You'll need to install a few repositories & add-ons to get it up & running properly robby & obviously Kodi........but if you have a fire stick, you'll know that already.

Really looking forward to it, seems like a really good box for a fair price

A few guys at work are raving about their Android boxes and Virgin just upgraded my broadband from 100mb to 150mb. I had to upgrade to the new Virgin Hub 2 and it is dual band (2.5G and 5G) so took a punt on one of these boxes.
Just ordered a cheap air mouse remote too as the stock remote is a bit pants, to see if it plays games alright, also loaded 'Showbox' on to it and works great, had it a few days now and so far I am really impressed by it!

[robby]

The remote is a total pain, plugged a USB mouse into the box and it has transformed it. Must get a wireless mouse for it. Lovin the box, slick,fast and great quality video from it


EDIT ..................... I ordered one of those (similar) you linked to from Gearbest UK warehouse. Hoping to get it today

Also looked at that one robby but as i'm a bit of a gamer I went for more of a game controller type with the thumb stick.
If the controller I bought works then i'll probably get the Rii k28 too

I am almost tempted to go for a normal wireless keyboard and mouse, same sort of money, but bigger for my sausage fingers

I'm using an old Logitech wireless mouse at the moment, it works well but the dongle needs plugging in before you start up the box, otherwise when I plug it in with the box already started I get a few problems - freezing issues and messages saying that Google Play has stopped.
I've not tried the keyboard yet as it's packed away somewhere.
