Hi,Ive been looking to get an Android box as I ditched Xstro and their repetitive screenings.
My requirements:
R1. I just want to watch movies, dramas and some variety shows eg korean, hong kong, china, singaporean. with English suubs preferably.
R2. Should support 5G wifi as I installed some other devices which run 5G so i turned off 2.4G to reduce interference.
R3. I don regard myself as techy but can do with sufficient instructions =P

TV boxes I'm looking at:
P1. TIVO 4k Stream
P2. EVPad 5S
P3. TX6 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM

Option P1 seems pretty straightforward too in that it has its own app to consolidate all the channels.
Option P2 is the easiest as its plug-n-play, and needs no further subscriptions and stuff - everything pre-installed and setup and best things is auto-update where I don't have to manually update if a source is shut down (or at least that's wad i was told).
Option P3 seems to be the best price point. I havent looked into it in detail.


Please advise me:
1. if 2GB RAM is sufficient to run the boxes smoothly
2. Does android version of the boxes matter significantly?wad r d benefits of using a newer android version?
3. I like Option P2 but the price tag is woah.
4. Im open to suggestions of other boxes to explore.

2/16 gb is suffice for norm streaming incl 4k Netflix provided it has stable firmware. Question is you do Netflix Disney Astro etc or non of it? Do you need 4k stream? Most box can do 5g but distance box fro router affects the connection so best get box with MIMU capability

2GB is more than enough cause u dont multitask with your box .  The more important thing is wheher your source is stable enough .
