Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced android box? I will be using it just for Kodi. I currently have Kodi installed on an older firebox which runs Kodi slow because of storage issue, and I would like to keep the firebox just for Amazon content, and use another box exclusively for Kodi. Bells and whistles not important as long as it’s Troypoint app friendly. Thanks & happy Thanksgiving.
If you can still find the Wal Mart Onn box, it is pretty basic but good enough to stream high quality. Just a reminder, no more Troypoint app, but if you do your research you’ll be fine.

A cheap x96 on amazon works great with a rockchip processor. Shy away from the onn box if you need a wired connection tho.

If you’re you are just looking to add Kodi the Walmart ONN UHD Streaming Box is tough to beat at $19.99.

Spot on! I find myself using my Onn exclusively; even over my nvidia.
Definitely about as cheap as you can get certified AndroidTV. I didnt mind it, it was pretty easy to customize, but my remote died early.

Agree with Tivo 4k … Great device better processor, more RAM, better graphics for just $10 more than ONN … $29.95

What operating system does Tivo use? Is this box easy to customize?

Android TV 9. Super easy to customize. My opinion is it’s the same as Amazon 4k max but Android not Fire OS.

I have had both Amazon and TiVo, prefer TiVo, it’s snappier and it’s not Amazon. Love how the software works just like my Nvidia shield pro

If you like the Amazon platform and you just need more storage, the FireTV Cube should more than fit the bill. Plus, its a known entity that you can transfer your FireTV box experience to (no new learning curve).

Thank you for the suggestion, that’s exactly what I decided to do. Amazon had the 2nd gen. Cube for $59. And as you said, there is the learning curve…
So between what I already know about the Amazon platform, the additional storage, and what I continue to learn on this site the Cube should be good.
Thank you for the suggestions and happy holidays.

A very excellent choice, and one heck of a good price.
