Guys, just recently I am bit interesting to knowing more about these Android TV box. But I don't know where to begin, as I have absolutely no knowledge of it. My parents is coming to KL, and I do not have any Astro, and not planning to install one. I hope this android tv box can be a better alternative to Astro. I need something which they can watch and spend their free time here. Currently I am only watching ntv7, 8tv.

I hope someone can help answer a few questions, before I do further research:

1. How many version of Android TV box are there in the market? Which are the most reliable and popular currently?
2. Are all the shows from different brands of TV box the same, or totally different? What exactly can we watched from these TV box?
3. I am using 10mbps broadband, will it be sufficient or I need to upgrade?
4. Is it userfriendly that any old people also knows how to use?

I hope it is not too much to ask. After I have a brief understanding, I will do my further researches. Any TV box resller also can pls contact me. Thanks.

Thank you for the useful tips I'll read through them slowly.

Can I just ask one more question. Is Nvidia Shield Pro Similar to any of the Android TV Box?

I just want to make sure my money is well spent, I am more interested with the game streaming function since I have nvidia gtx680 pc system in the room... I think it will be worth it if the apps and movie/tv show streaming works exactly as any other cheaper china devices. Hope to Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I have always heard this and that Aunties talking about their tv box paying once and have endless channels for free lifetime, with no subscription fees etc. Is this wat they called "jailbreaked" or any similar method to unlock everything?
