LONG LIVE KODI

Lol... Gbox was working at 5pm last I checked

Haha the UK tried to shut down Kodi last few months but they're doing nothing illegal according to the courts, so until someone could prove them guilty they will be here for a while. Think about it, why do you think Kodi is still on Google Playstore if it's illegal???

It all depends on how much you willing to spend, the best are the nvidia shield but @ $200 USD it's worth reconsidering. There are cheaper options out there which works pretty good actually, however ppl in Trinidad does want to make 100% profit on everything so that why you would think it's booth leg to spend money on it. I personally bought a few boxes for ppl who requested it and it works really good for the price. The same boxes ppl reselling for $1000 & $750 i got it for $300 - $400. I don't like the idea of charging exorbitant prices and extorting poor ppl, my intent is to help out the poor man lil bit. I have about 6 different model boxes home and they all work good, some work better that others because of the price difference and specifications.
All in all you save a shitload of money you would pay in cable and direct tv fees cause it's only one time you spending the money vs every month you getting a bill.

I have the T95Z similar specifications and it works great but by the look of it that box will cost you around $100 - $130 USD, my advice is that you put in the extra and get the nvidia shield because you'll get all the support and updates easily.

Is 30MB internet speed enough to run an android box buffer-free?

Help needed. Got a Pricesmart Android Box as a gift. Box came with 16.1 Jarvis and tried to install 17.4 and it gives an error. The box says Android version of 6.0.1 but cannot install from the Playstore or kodi.com.
Are these boxes any good?

Is it better to connect your android box via LAN cable or WiFi?

I have it connected with LAN but it buffering. Trying it wireless with DigicelPlay and it buffering less (I think).

Is it because the wireless connection is a 5G connection suitable for high use/android boxes?

How often does your android box buffer in viewing a show?
What speed Internet do you have?
Does the buffering depend on what you viewing?
When my wife watching Kardashians it buffers/freezes like every two minutes.
Cartoons is every five minutes.

High the def and quality will buffer more often. Always keep cache at a minimum and temp files low.

I tried that last night but I kept getting a documentary on a poisonous octopus and no news.

Is it possible for my LAN cable to be faulty and causing the buffering? It's the LAN cable I got with my Digicel router. Should I try another LAN cable? Is there any reputable brands in LAN cable I should look for?

Tried another LAN cable but it still buffering.

Honestly I find it played better wirelessly.

How else can I connect my android box to router other than the LAN cable. Can I use a USB OTG cable or USB to USB cable?

^what actual speeds are you getting? Check speed test.com (use a foreign server) or fast.com and see what speeds you're getting.
