Was thinking of buying the latest Matricom G box. Anyone has experiences with one? I may want to take the leap and get rid of cable if its worth it.

I bought an MX2 and didn't really like the UI of those android boxes. Ended up getting a Fire TV when it was on sale and have been using that since.

Eyeing the Nvidia Shield now...

Might be able to work on others not sure but saw the mag254 recommended can YouTube the model and get a idea of how the system works.. Almost all stations are pretty much HD ..lowest quality station I can compare it to YouTube 720p which is still good

which package did you take? one route? or higher?

and no PayPal? I'm hesitant there.

yeah one route. I assume more than one route is if u want to add the subscription on more than one box.

Was skeptical about the no PayPal thing too but payment was secure. Used a low limit credit card jus in case...

Thinking abt buying this mofo:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZON-FIRE-STI ... 2052838439

Is it worth the price for the apps that are installed?

Hell no!! It's too easy to install the apps yourself to be paying that price..

The best so far are the MX111 and M8. They are good after they are configured for use, in other words to make them user friendly. You should also get an additional controller, since the remote restricts the full functionality of the box.

I would be launching a "Power Seller Store" soon.
