Seems like there is a lot of frustration around the Android boxes. I have been running mine for close to 2 years and couldn't be happier and am happy to post my configuration. If this helps anyone, great otherwise put me on ignore. The Nexbox A95X has great reviews and is the box I use. I started with 1G/8, moved to 2G/16 and now use 2G/8. I want the 2Gig as it is faster but don't need the 16Gig hard drive as I do not use the box as a PVR. I buy from China via amazon.com and the price initially was $30 USD but has now moved to over $50 USD so about R800 and free shipping. The boxes generally take about 3 weeks ( always less than a month ) to get to me in PE. I have never had any problems with customs so far ( knock on wood ). https://www.amazon.com/Etopsell-NEXBOX-Android-Amlogic-S905X/dp/B01MU3RUU6/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491406877&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=nexbox+a95x+2g+8g When I get it I uninstall Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Vevo, Plexus, etc as I will never use these from the box and it also frees up hard drive space to improve caching. I leave 4 apps - KODI, Mobdro, Netflix and YouTube. Vevo, Plexus, etc don't work here anyway. My internet speed is 10mb and I hook up via ethernet where possible. My box in the bedroom is hooked up via wifi and I do see a difference with the occasional freezing although not enough to be a pain. I watch sports with Mobdro using almost exclusively Sky 1 thru 5 and occasionally BT Sports 1 thru 3. This gets me Football ( Premier League and La Liga ), Cricket ( all games in New Zealand were shown live including Tests ) Rugby ( Super Rugby, Currie Cup and Sevens ) plus golf, tennis, F1, etc. All of this is shown live. Bundesliga and Serie A can also be watched live with German and Italian Sky, Fox and other channels. If you go to Mobdro and then Sports, the Sky channels are the first ones up then BT Sports. For KODI i have less than 5 add-ons. I use Exodus for movies and Pro-Sport for the 4 North American sports - NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. I have Sport Devil and ZEM but hardly use them for other sports as I get them all on Mobdro and the SKY UK channels. Every time an add-on is updated, your box gets updated. I've seen boxes with 300 add-ons. Many are never used and/or do not work yet every time there is an update, the box takes the update. This slows the box down tremendously. You see this in the bottom left of the screen every time you power your box on. If I need to find anything in KODI, instead of scrolling thru the menu options I just type the title in the search function. There has been very little I have not found. I am using KODI 16 - Jarvis and have no intention to upgrade to 17 as it is a major upgrade and a lot of functions don't transfer over seamlessly. I have 3 Nexbox's and have helped about a dozen friends and have used the same configuration every time. There is a Backup option in KODI but I have never been able to get it to work and replicate a setup so in every case I have programmed the boxes from scratch. This takes about an hour. Hopefully this is of use to someone.
