Android TV stick

[harsh247]

u think u could aadd xbmc to the stick?

^^ XBMC for Android is there, yes you can add XBMC to the stck, but performance is something to be desired as compared to RaspBMC, a stand alone XBMC client for Dev Boards, which runs much better than XBMC loaded on Android.

Is buying the MK808 a safe bet? Does anyone know the best price and where to procure it from? Thanks!

^^ Is your purpose running XBMC or Android Apps on TV

Any reviews on micromax smart tv stick?

Can i access the hard disk connected to my wifi router via this TV stick?
Basically i was thinking of connecting it to my projector which would be ceiling mounted.This way i won't need to connect an HDMI cable which won't look good.

I'll get a false ceiling probably next year.till then. What would be the best way to access a network drive and stream movies to projector?

Go for the mk808. Its a tried and tested stick with max dev support. Yes using esfile explorer with mx player you can play media off a network drive. Wifi is not the best on these sticks so you may wanna run a lan cable and attach a external usb to ethernet adapter for best results.

Be prepared for the limitation that these sticks presently only do a 2 channel output. No 5.1 support in the kernel yet. So if u looking for a home theatre experience then look elsewhere

Has anyone tried out the Tronsmart CX-919 or the MINIX NEO X7.
They seems to be quite promising with good software support as well.

I might switch from my Chromecast to one of these Android PCs as Google is acting too restrictive on its firmware.
