The Android TV box marketplace is rather fragmented. As a result, it is not easy to find a dependable product. And getting the proper accessories, apps, and service providers to work together smoothly can be an overwhelming (or sometimes outright frustrating) endeavor. That is where our offerings can make a difference. We have done a lot of work putting the right pieces of hardware, software, services, and guidance together so that you can have an enjoyable and hassle-free experience.

Streamlined Product Selection

Anyone who had some experience looking for an Android TV box to purchase would tell you that there is an overwhelmingly large number of brands and models available. And each brand/model seems to have an equally large number of online reviews to back them up. Are they more or less the same? Should I go for the cheapest deal I can find? How much CPU power and memory do I need? If I order it from overseas, will it work in my country?

Make no mistakes, not all Android TV boxes are built equal.

This is true even though many Android TV boxes all seem to look the same and have similar specifications. Take hardware for instance, genuine products from reputable manufacturers use brand new components, while knock-offs from dubious sources use second-hand components taken from recycled electronics. The result may look the same, but the product life expectancy can vary drastically. We have come across devices bought off the Internet that would die for no apparent reason after only 2-3 months of use.

Software quality can make a big difference, too.

The Android operating system is an open system, allowing vendors to customize it heavily according to their needs. Devices running the same version of Android can still vary greatly in terms of their app and peripheral compatibility and upgradability. We have come across devices that don’t have a working Google Play Store. We have also come across devices whose preinstalled YouTube and Kodi apps cannot be upgraded with the latest versions from Google. Some devices are preloaded with apps or Kodi plugins that are so outdated that they give error messages right out of the box. All those issues can affect the product’s long-term dependability.

We have saved you a lot of trouble.

To save you unnecessary frustration, we have tested many different devices to bring you only our top picks. They have, in our opinion, the best performance, features, and long-term dependability. In our testing, we focus on quality and durability the foremost. When two devices are similar in quality, we choose the one that is more competitively priced. Unlike many other faceless online stores, we will not try to sell you a dozen different brands. Instead, we bring you a couple of our top picks that we know will work well for sure. Our testing is not only limited to the standard benchmark tests. In fact, we actually use the products we sell in our own homes to uncover issues faced by average users.

In addition, we source our stock directly from the manufacturer. We do so to ensure the authenticity, quality, and the lowest cost of our products.

Comprehensive Add-ons and Resources

Most vendors just want to sell you a product. We instead want to provide you with a complete and usable solution. With every TV box purchase, we are giving you online access to our complimentary add-on software library called SOFTPAQ. The library contains hard-to-find apps that are not available from the Google Play Store. These apps have been thoroughly tested to be compatible with your device and they are free of malware. Installing them is easy: Simply open the preinstalled “Unlinked” app and enter our library code to browse the latest apps.

Our website has comprehensive information, specs, guides, and troubleshooting tips. Following our step-by-step instructions on how to set up various features on your device, you will be up and enjoying your box in no time.

As an extra bonus, we can also refer our customers to a couple of leading IPTV service providers that offer a great selection of channels worldwide for a low monthly or annual fee.
