Beidi M9S TV Player Android 6.0 64 Bits Quad Core and Supporting 4K (60Hz) Full HD /H.265 /WiFi 2.4GHz

I bought this TV box as my TV is fairly old and isn't a Smart TV. This box transformed it into smart TV! It comes with a remote, but you can also use your mouse to navigate which is really convenient. Instructions were very clear, I followed them and easily set it up. The box comes preinstalled with some main apps - Dropbox, YouTube, etc, but you can download any app you want from a playstore as it's an Android device. Navigation is very straightforward and intuitive, you can add stuff to your favourites and instantly access it. There is unlimited content that you can add to the box - I love listening to the radio, watching YouTube videos, you can even record TV shows to this box. The box connects to your home WiFi and completely transforms your TV - endless entertainment and you are not limited to your usual TV channels anymore.

As someone without a smart TV, I was annoyed by the inability for me to use streaming services like Netflix and Catch-up apps like iPlayer on my TV. This allows me to turn my 'dumb' TV into a smart Android TV for quite a low price.The TV Box comes with a HDMI cable and a remote. Setup is easy, plug it into your TV, plug the power in and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to your WiFi network.It has some pre installed apps like Kodi as well as the standard Google Play Store, allowing you to download any mainstream Android app like Netflix, YouTube, iPlayer, ITV Player etc.The remote has a D-Pad with up, down, left and right controls with a select button in the centre. This works for navigating 99% of apps, but in some circumstances, some apps don't support controls through these buttons. Instead, you need to press the Mouse button and toggle to a mode where a mouse moves across the screen instead. This is a little cumbersome, however, I don't blame the manufacturer as they aren't to blame for poorly made Android apps.One issue is that the title says this is an Android 6.0 TV Box, but the one I received has Android 5.0 installed. I tried checking for updates through both the 'UPDATE&BACKUP' app as well as the Android updater in the settings app, neither of which found a new update. I'm really dumbfounded as to why this is happening, and the seller couldn't work it out either or give me a fix after I contacted them. This is a downside for me as older Android versions have less compatibility and will become obsolete faster.WiFi isn't the fastest, only achieving 28Mbps in a test on my 200Mbps internet connection. This isn't a concern though as a HD Netflix stream will only use about 6Mbps, so there will be no buffering or reductions in video quality as a result of this. It would only be a concern for large file downloads as these could be slower than other devices.One thing I found really handy was getting the 'AllCast' app. If you get the 'AllCast Reciever' on the Android Box and 'AllCast' on your Android phone/tablet it allows you to show photos or videos on the TV. This is handy for showing your family or friends photos/videos you've taken on the big screen.Operation of the box is okay, it's not the fastest but definitely speedy enough for streaming and entertainment.For just £30 it's impressive I can get an Android-capable device with a fast CPU, decent storage and HD output. There are some downsides, but to be honest this box does well considering its price.

So being a huge techy I decided an android box simply for kodi and all it offers is a must. Seeing as it won't work on my windows 10 pc.For functions like Netflix/YouTube etc, should you not own a smart tv, it's perfect. So far the hardware works like it's supposed to and connecting it to the net is simple: it's an android box after all.However, where I found it lacked was the updater and load of kodi present already. You're far better off simply uninstalling all of their apps and updaters, sideloading kodi and finding your own add ons. It involved a bit of YouTube and some self teaching but in the end I landed up with the latest kodi version, a clean home screen and a very happy Mrs!3 stars for me, the "fully loaded" portion is half the reason you buy a box like this.

I would recommend this product not only for the great value for money this products represents but also the after sales service from the supplier which first class.The compact size blends seamlessly attached to the underside of my wall fitted tv with the use of 2 sided velcro. However I would recommend an investment in a separate upgraded controller as it will make life much easier when navigating the function keys.

This is the second box I bought because I was so impressed with them .tv remote works with this box so no messing about with 2 remotes .Great little box highly recommend.

Good box, great delivery would recommend

Worst kit I've ever bought. Didn't run successfully on first run. Tried several times and no luck. Tried different builds and it stalls and crashes and runs at snail pace if it ever gets there. Awful.

Works well for what I wanted it for, remote was slow and hard work but you get used to it.
