We strongly suggest going with a quality brand when it comes to Android TV boxes for Kodi, Streaming Apps or Cord-Cutting.
With the number of quality products from reliable brands available, buying some obscure TV box from a “preloaded box seller” would definitely be a big mistake.
We don’t take recommending hardware devices lightly. The devices below are all very reliable, high performing and support the latest functionality.
Each of these devices also support Kodi, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming apps. Installing any of these apps, and others, can be done without needing a computer.
