This arrived two days ago, so my review is only based on a short time with the TV box. It runs Android 10 and has the usual horrid user interface we've come to expect from these kinds of devices. But aside from that, it's a very impressive piece of kit. I got this for watching YouTube, UK TV channels with online players, and with my Plex media server. It does YouTube really well. Plex support through the Android Plex app is spectacular and I've been able to use the YouTube app which delivers well. On to the UK TV stuff... well the My5 app functions (so we get to see The Gadget Show). BBC's iPlayer and the Channel 4 App don't even appear, and the ITV Hub complains about rights. I uninstalled and re-installed Kodi and the Am***n Prime Video app as the stock pre-installed ones weren't the latest and were less than satisfactory. Now these are working excellently - although Kodi on this box refuses to read my Media library over NFS or SMB, but I think that's down to server permissions, nothing to do with the TV box. The box is pretty powerful for TV use. I have the 64GB one - although I'm starting to wonder whether I paid a teeny bit extra for no reason - it's not exactly using it. The CPU is mighty fast for a media player, and the wired network makes it a breeze to use with no loss of signal. I have it running on my 4K monitor at 2160p over HDMI. I've not tried the purported support for 6K... I don't have a telly that can do it, and it's not the reason I bought it. Also the box is a weenie. A teensy weensy little computer. If you plug in a mouse and keyboard it works with the out of the box (although I can't find a way to make it change the keyboard layout - it thinks I'm an American...). The main weakness is the terrible launcher. I can't even find how to change the colour scheme. The version of Google Play that comes with it seems restrictive. If you can live with that, this is brilliant.
