    I intend to buy a smart tv box up to PLN 300 to "tune" my old Samsung TV UE40D6500, but later it will be used for a new tv, which I intend to buy -> https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/viewtopic. php? p = 17482564 # 17482564 giving up the opportunity in cable TV
    It is important that KODI, Netflix, HBO Go, Showmax, NC + go, player.pl, Ipla, cda.pl etc. work on it.
    Currently I have searched for such, but I do not know if they meet the requirements:
    Xiaomi Mi BOX TV Android 6.0 2 / 8GB - can it be upgraded to 8.1?
    A5X Max TV BOX Android 8.1 OREO 4 / 32GB
    H96 Max H2 TV BOX ANDROID 7.1 4GB / 32GB

    In fact, RPi / Orange PI with Kodi installed is enough.
    You have a lot of additions to Kodi and no additional applications are needed.

    Check manufacturers' websites for updates, read descriptions on the web, view YT reviews so you'll know something more about the capabilities of the devices.
    Now in the chain of shops with an insect in the name is Hykker - there are tests on YT - it is not the worst.

    ok, is it possible to upload apps from external sources on these models?

    This Hykker has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory, and it's probably too few apps to install

    Hello colleagues
    I have a question whether the SD card with KODI and other installed programs prepared and working properly under Rasberry Pi 3 B + after inserting the tv box a5x max + to the SD slot will start the tv box and start with the KODI installed on it - do you need to carry out any additional modifications?

    I have a box with such parameters - what would you suggest to upload, where to find it and how to upload it?
    Will it not be problematic or complicated uploading? Will the other menu from the Box stay?

    Parameters of my box:

    ANDROID SMART TV BOX A5X MAX +
    The latest version with display, dual band WiFi and 64GB of RAM
    The latest ANDROID 8.1 OREO system
    New efficient quad-core Rockchip RK3328 processor
    5 core graphics card MALI-450
    RAM 4GB / FLASH 64GB
    WiFi 2.4 / 5 GHz and 100 Mbps LAN
    HDMI 2.0 with HDR10 support and ULTRA HD resolution
    3x USB 2.0 + 1x USB 3.0
    Support for disks, memory cards and USB sticks
    GOOGLE PLAY Store
    Support for popular multimedia applications
    After connecting the device is ready for work
    Non-booted box with DRM L3 security support - only with us are you sure that the device you are selling supports DRM security. which are required by most multimedia applications

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    The choice fell on H96 Max X2 ANDROID 8.1 4GB / 64GB with an additional voice control from aliexpress for PLN 191, i.e. half the price from our auction portal :)
