frick man. This is like having a crush on a blonde and a brunette and not being able to choose. I love both Google and Amazon and they are fighting each other. I wish me, Google, and Amazon could just have a great big ole 3some in one box.

Step 2**** Also once XBMC/ TVMC is installed, use the below link to install Llama which allows you to configure a redirect where the app shows up on the home screen instead of having to pull up from the settings menu each time

How do I side install Llama?


ETA: Got Llama installed but there is no "Classic TV" app

Also, Where is Netflix on this box? I can't find it.

I was able to load the SPMC app from the App store and use it to open XBMC/KODI without going through Llama. I use Helix 14.2 build by Koying LINK which is supposedly more stable for Android boxes (I have tried both without noticing much difference). I don't know if the app will open other builds.

Out of the box, the stick plugs into an hdmi port and can be plugged into the USB port on most (not all) televisions and work.

The box has a more traditional power cord and requires a separate hdmi cable. Boxes have better hardware, basically, but this may not necessarily be noticeable. The top level of the box (3) has an Ethernet port (far more reliable than wifi) and USB and Microsd slots for playback. The box also comes with a more robust remote, including a headphone jack. The remote in all of these is wifi direct, so you don't have to point it at the device for it to work.


They run the same operating system. I don't believe any channels are exclusive to the box.
