I have been a fan of the Amazon Fire TV sticks and Nvidia Shield for years now. But they are not perfect, I hate having to use WiFi (or 100M Ethernet) on the Fire Stick, the tubular Nvidia Shield is no use for large local 4K files, and the Pro is very expensive. Cheap Chinese…
4K TV’s have not only become incredibly affordable in recent years, but they are good too. As much as I long for all the fancy tech you find on high-end TVs such as 120Hz OLED, eArc, HDMI 2.1 and VRR, if you can’t afford £2K for a TV, you don’t have to miss out on…

Priced at just £42 it is slightly cheaper than the ABOX A1 but has the same specification. The internals is the same, you get: CPU: Amlogic…
I have previously reviewed one Android box before, and that was the M8S which appears to have been a massively popular device for people. I primarily use a Nvidia Shield, and an Amazon 4K box, or RPI3s. I like to watch a TV show on my lunch break so use an RPI3 on a widescreen,…
