    Absolutely stay away from this seller. I had made a terrible mistake buying an Android stick from them a few months ago and the item never arrived. Their customer service is a joke. Took them like a week to response to your request. First they kept telling me that item was sent so I shouldnt be worry and just keep waiting. Then they failed to use the tracking# (which I believe not a genuine one) to track the item. I contacted AusPost numerous times and AusPost constantly insisted that the number they gave me made absolutely no sense to them. I ended up having to lodge a dispute with Paypal. They then contacted me by email asking me to withdraw the claim because it is damaging their "reputation" and offered a full refund after I withdraw the claim. Luckily I did a google search and found that a number of buyers failed to this trick, withdrew their claim then never get their refund so I proceed with with the Paypal claim anywayz and got my money back.

    The price Geekbuying offers is pretty good but unless you want all the trouble , stay away from them.

          that's an interesting response form the rep! Almost worth me to bring out one of my rare neg votes!

    • fateddy on 07/10/2013 - 11:01

      I totally agree with andrew81. So far I have ordered 3 times and had an issue every single time which their customer support was useless with. They will promise everything but deliver nothing that is if they respond at all, the only way to get anything done is to call them and if your lucky something may happen. If you do buy from these clowns only pay by paypal and raise a claim if there are any issues.
      Issue 1 Ordered Tronsmart T-428 it arrived with no flash slot or button to reflash. sent email was told flash card is extra. Took photo and sent. Went on for weeks as it took on average 4 days to respond. In the end paypal refunded the amount and half of shipping cost for a defective product.
      Issue 2 Item never arrived tracked to country but missing after that. Sent email notifying them of issue and that I took their insurance, that was 3 weeks ago not 1 response.
      Issue 3 Bought MK808B tried to go to flash mode to install new rom, wouldn't go in so emailed them their response "Why do you want to flash". Have since reordered from another supplier and item arrived and went into flash mode first time!
      So their prices might be good but not if you have any issue whatsoever.
      They really should be banned from ozbargain!

    Title misleading too. This is a "Media Player", not a "TV Box".

    I would expect a "TV Box" to have a TV tuner. This does not. Everyone else calls such devices media players.

    And yes, for the doubters, DVB-T set-top boxes that run Android do exist, although they are pretty rare.

      yeah mine came with tracking (only trackable after 2 weeks - overseas, Australia post only trackable - when arrived at buyer's home). time about average, around 3 weeks.

      so far i believed they are the cheapest - so the money u save likely go into express? just a thought

      I usually don't get involved into arguments etc but I had bad experience from them. Their customer service is horrible with broken English and no such prompt action. It's hit and miss purchase. If you are lucky it's cool if not then even the Gods can't save you

        Sure wish Sony Pana Samsung WD or any decent manufacturer would have a crack at these.
        The idea is excellent, just the flaky manufacturers putting me off.
        That Minix one you linked does look good though. I see they sell it on Amazon but the reviews are a bit av.

      AMLogic has been "famous" of being stable. but slower than others - Rockchip.

      I bought Tronsmart brand than other brand so far as the company seems to provide update to the stick than most don't or relying external parties….

    Disclaimer: Possible bias against Android based media players due to a bad experience.

    I had the Astone A108 which is an Android media player and to be honest the experience was well below average. The video and audio decoding performance is terrible and unless they've a custom interface that is more remote friendly and not mouse-centric, the UI can be extremely frustrating.

    I'm not saying that this unit is going to be a spectacular failure like my A108 was but I'd be hesitant to get anything that isn't based on a Linux OS. The performance isn't just superior but everything just works without hassle.

    I kept the A108 for over 3 months hoping for updates to fix the performance but nothing was forthcoming. Fortunately Austin accepted it as part of a direct swap for another unit.

    I'm now rocking a MP310-DT as well as my original (Gen1) WDTV which are both Linux based media players and can honestly say I cannot recommend any Android based media players.

    • King Tightarse on 07/10/2013 - 13:01

      Yep I hear you.
      I have a WD SMP too but honestly I think its pretty average. It can decoded every thing but its a pain to navigate. Some menu items take up to two minutes to load and a slow as hell. iView, Youtube etc
      I want to use Hulu , Netflix (with a DNS modifer) and a few other Android streaming apps AND have the beauty of easy and familiar net browsing. Android could do it if I could find a trustworthy unit.
      At the moment I am looking at the Ouya console, $99 looks quite promising.

    • edgar28 on 08/10/2013 - 00:41

      i got the cx 919 recommended by ozbzrgainer. its fantastic. compare to my fren's astone and wd media player.
