The best choice for Android TV, especially since most Chinese ones have been blocked by Netflix. It will turn a regular TV into a smart one. Zero problems, it will never freeze. It contains pure and certified Android TV, which means it looks at the Google Store for TVs, not for mobiles or tablets. It offers Google Assistant if you set it up in English (in Greek it works as a simple voice search). The remote control does not require line of sight with the box, so you can hide it behind a TV. It is compatible with the Google Android TV Remote control (app for mobiles). Its wifi is reliable even for 4K streaming, as long as you have a good router or mesh. If you are concerned about the lack of Ethernet, you can plug in a USB to Ethernet in the single USB port, or buy a USB Ethernet + HUB to support multiple USB devices such as an external hard drive, keyboard and mouse.

Positives:
Compact design, Bluetooth remote control, affordable price, central menu, very good picture and sound, audio commands on the remote control.

Negatives:
Lack of Ethernet port forces you to pay extra for an adapter, outdated software. It mainly restarts when watching CosmoteTV without being able to find a solution to the problem.

Conclusion:
Basic level. In Cosmote TV, which was the reason I bought it because it is unrooted, I would like more stability.

Update 28/12/2022:
The problem with the CosmoteTV app continues daily with constant restarts, making noise first and the box will probably go for recycling because it can no longer be tolerated. The only thing for sure is that I would not buy it again and would go for a more expensive box of another brand with Android 10.

  The best you can get at this price. Old Sony Bravia Android OS that was slow and its remote control worked when it wanted, replaced OS & remote control with that of the TV Box.

  I think it is not worth buying. It freezes very often and I have to disconnect it to reconnect, and it takes a long time to connect. Better to get a smart TV.

  Three stars for the price I bought it and only! It keeps getting stuck with the sound! I put it at 100 on the volume and it still sounds low! I have tried everything and have only ended up resetting the factory settings to fix the sound for a little while. This definitely has to be done once a week!

  It often freezes and restarts by itself. Especially in the first year, it restarted every 20 to 30 minutes, and I regretted my choice, as we couldn't watch a single movie without 2 to 3 interruptions... At some point, it stopped restarting (after I reported it to the manufacturer). After 5 years of use, I believe it has paid for itself. The restarts have decreased to about once a week. In the last month, it started having two buttons on the remote not working. A significant advantage is that you have a portable media player/TV. I wish it had a bit more space and memory. One star less for the trouble I experienced with the restarts in the first year.

  When it goes into sleep mode, the remote control gets stuck and usually needs to be restarted to work again.

  Perfect, until I needed to connect my wireless headphones, it drove me to despair. The second major issue is that it bombards you with thousands of ads that you can't avoid at all. I don't have real experience with other similar ones, but better something else that doesn't have such issues.

  It is a one-way street for TV boxes for Netflix. A mandatory 5G Wi-Fi connection if you don't want issues. Even with a USB to LAN adapter that I used, it has problems. It has freezes, but with a restart, it comes back.

  the most value for money option for simple use with a TV whether smart or not. minimal lags. by installing Kodi you can see and hear everything, either from a hard drive or through some add-on.

  very good quality in sound and image, a bit with the disconnections from the internet I see...but maybe it's the router that is a bit far away.

  Very good and relatively affordable TV box. The remote control is small and easy to use, just like the TV box itself. The child handles it comfortably. Pre-installed YouTube, Netflix, and many other platforms. Very satisfied!! I have bought 2!!

  The only drawback it has is that to increase the volume you have to press the + or - button simultaneously with the corresponding up or down "arrow."

  I would like it to have more memory because if you don't restart it once every two weeks, it drags.

  Many problems. The remote control takes a long time to start every time, and you have to wait while the box has opened. It often freezes with several applications and reboots (CosmoteTV, NBA), while with others it is fine (Euroleague TV, Netflix, and any movies/series streaming app). I got one from Nokia (more expensive, of course) and it calmed my mind

  Honest. I've had it for 6 years. It's fine, just when you first turn it on, it takes a couple of minutes to get back to normal because it doesn't immediately respond to commands. But after that, it's great and has good picture quality.

  I had bought it as a gift for my father. Every now and then, problems. After a few years, it shows lines on the screen and it's not the connection's fault, but overheating... due to poor construction, I suppose.

  I have had it for almost two years, since October 2022, and I am absolutely satisfied. Small and super light, very easy to connect, it works flawlessly in 99% of cases. I have it on an old Samsung that is not smart, but I have also tried it on an F&U that is smart but does not support Cosmote TV, Ant1+, Disney, etc. The box supports every app available on Google Play, and any other that can run on Android with a few settings you can find online. If you have a VPN, you can watch content from anywhere in the world. No issues with Wi-Fi at about 10 meters from the router, even with 3 walls in between. It has never frozen, and 3-4 times in 2 years it has happened to restart by itself. The remote control is slightly slow to respond (I haven't tried what someone mentioned below, to set it to English), but we are talking about a few seconds, it's not like you will wait an eternity... You can set it to turn on your TV when you turn on the box, so all control is done from the TV box remote only. At €50, when I bought it, it was excellent value for money; now that its price is over €90, I would probably look for something else, likely the new one from Xiaomi.

  Sometimes it freezes and I don't know why because I have done all the updates.

  However, for the money, it is worth buying

  I also bought this specific device. I had the older one and now I switched to 4K since my TV was 4K from the beginning. Now the box handles Google TV compared to the old one which was just Android, and many apps couldn't be installed. There is a big difference in picture quality and the huge difference is now in the sound. It supports pure surround sound Dolby Digital and it simply sounds amazing!! A big difference!! It's worth its money and the upgrade I made. It was purchased for about 50 euros. Don't pay more. One downside that it has and I have to mention is the slightly complicated menu and software. It requires a lot of searching and time to learn it. For example, the power button, when pressed for a long time, no longer takes you to a menu to turn off/restart. You have to enter the menu and after pressing about ten buttons, go to the system and restart from there. One minus star for its menu. Overall, it's fast and of high quality!
  **To avoid WiFi issues, buy a USB to Ethernet adapter (easily found in big well-known stores...) and connect it directly to your modem with an Ethernet cable.

  Easy activation, easy search and installation of applications/streaming platforms such as erflix, installation of supported website (does not have Chrome) and playback of audiovisual material from websites such as megatv, ertflix. Very fast, no lag even though it only works with Wi-Fi. Easy and simple remote control. Very good purchase price and 2-year warranty.

  I have it for about a year.
  Quite slow to open. Occasionally it would freeze and have some glitches.
  Lately, it keeps restarting constantly. I put on OTE TV and I can't watch a channel. It keeps throwing me out and starting from the beginning. By the time it opens and you get back in, you're frustrated.
  Also, a big negative is that it doesn't have an ON/OFF indicator, so you don't know if it's turned on or frozen.

  If you don't have psychological issues, you will develop them; if you already have them, they will worsen. It is tiring every time you need to open it since it requires a restart. Also, frequent restarts occur while watching a program. Spend some extra money to get something better. The positive aspect is that it plays everything.

  At startup, it is very slow to start, it shows the image but you cannot make program choices for a long time. I believe that for the money it costs, it should be faster.

  Everything you need to make your TV smart. With Android, you can update and download whatever you want. The only observation is that it takes a little longer to start.

  I have 2 of these devices. I am completely satisfied with the applications and performance. I have also put movies on a USB and it plays them perfectly (with the corresponding application, of course). I use it a lot, even on our vacations, by connecting it to any TV and to the internet with a wifi router, and I am incredibly satisfied.

  It has a small issue that many users have mentioned, and that is the time it takes for the remote control to become functional from the moment it is turned on. The solution is simple. Change the menu from Greek to English. :)

  The only problem we all face is the wireless connection issues.... I had 150 Mbps speed with the mi box under the router and it was freezing.... Get a USB to Ethernet cable and the mi box will become wired with a cable.... It doesn't freeze anywhere for just 10 euros.... Simply turn off the Wi-Fi and connect the cable and it works fine

  For the money and the job I want it for, it's fine. I only use it for Netflix and YouTube. It's perfect for that. The only negative is that it disconnects quite often and sometimes freezes a bit, but if you give it 2-3 minutes max, it will work fine. So, it's good

  It has been working continuously and flawlessly for two years. The only negative thing I could say is that the remote control takes a while to connect every time the device is turned on. But let's not be impatient, a few seconds of patience and then everything is perfect. Correction, if you switch the language to English, the remote control connects immediately.
