I have a KM9 Pro 2/16gb and KM3 4/64gb both plays modded Netflix in HD, not sure 4k cos I don't have 4k tv😂

Other than that it also plays Hulu Disney+ ESPN+flawlessly. Don't use Play@Unifi or Astro

You're not going to play games with it or do number crunching/mining with it.

Why does 3D scores or benchmark scores matter?

Sometimes i don't really understand what those western people thinking. See their game also looks good visually but storyline so lousy.

back to personal preferences. Some of them want a smooth user experience where the hardware matters. Some people also do play games from their box, could be official android games or emulator.

I hv tried a few box, now I am using Nvidia Shield TV pro. UX is so much different with other previously I owned. I did play some games from store & emulator. it will run smoother. additionally I also get 4k UHD upscaling which my previous box cannot do thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

depends what u use it for, what u must have or dun care... and how much u will pay for it.

Good afternoon! I am also a beginner! I am looking for advice: I want to buy tv set-top, I really want to enjoy the sound quality when watching my favorite movies! A neighbor advises one of the devices https://www.switchonshop.com/en/linux-stb/, I just have an old TV model. Will such a console work for me? blush.gif

reasons:

1. internet speed too low and/or unstable.
2. router is poor, very poor for wifi.
3. box is poor hardware, poor firmware, even obsolete.
4. apps are out of date, illegit, geoblocked, heavy traffic, servers abandoned.

any one of above, u won't get it smooth.

these boxes been around for almost 10 years.
experienced users know how to do it right, get a lot.
if u simply buy w/o understanding how it works, chances are u wun get it right or get it right for a few days/weeks only.

u gotta read a lot, try a lot, spend a lot of time on it to get something good.
still, if u have astrogo or unifi playtv id/pw from existing users, it becomes a lot easier.
