Android Set Top Box

[Rhino172]

Is there such a thing? I've had a quick look on Amazon and there seems to be some options that might be what I'm after but most are american so will require adapter plugs etc.

I'm simply after something that is android powered with the google play store installed, wifi, etc. that I can connect to my amp via HDMI for playing back movies/sharing content from my phone and the like.

What have you got? any suggestions? Budget wise, around £50.

Google doesn't give you recommendations though does it?

Chromecast would probably be the most suitable option!

 

[Goodj]

Recommendations are much like opinions.

Not really sure where you are going with this but the guy asked for what other people have got and suggest, not what a Google search comes up with. He's already had a quick look on Amazon.

looks like this might be better suited to my needs rather than Chrome Cast as that seems a little restricted apps wise etc where as the below will litereally be a mirror of whats on the phone screen. thinking for use of Apps such as MovieTube 4.0 etc

Amazon gives your reviews though.

Am I right in thinking there is an mx2 available now? ( the one I linked?) I would expect newer = better or am I being nieve

XBMC installed and run OSS to watch the football etc.

Seems good for what it is.

So I now have the G-Box Midnight MX2. Neat piece of kit and does exactly what I wanted it for.

Anyone have any links to an idiots guide to XBMC? As that wasn't the main reason for me purchasing but as its on the thing I might aswell try and use it. Something about reposotories and add-ons? What ones do I need etc? I've seen there is a 4OD and Demand5 Add-ons but they don't seem to work?
