Hi folks,
Was hoping someone could answer a couple of questions about android TV boxes and maybe point me in the direction of a suitable one.
1) I was looking at the Now TV box, but I've read that you need your laptop/PC or a NAS to be on in order to stream content onto it. Are there any Android TV boxes which will work standalone, i.e you don't need a laptop or whatever to stream.
2) I guess this next question depends on the answer to the first, but basically all I'm looking for from the Android Box is to get some of the TV apps working (4OD, BBC iPlayer etc...) I have a TV in my room which won't be used too much, so I don't want to spend money on another cable box and subscription so I'm hoping an Android TV box may be a good alternative. Would anyone have a suggestion on a suitable box. Is there any difference between Plex and XMBC in relation to the number of TV apps available for either.
Thanks in advance!
