Hi very new to the Android way of watching shows .
My question is do i want to be buying a 2 gb Ram box or will 1 gb ram do the job ?
I won't be filling it with a lot of apps it will literally be for a iptv service and maybe a movie app .
I don't have a massive budget so not sure which android box to go for .
Thanks for any help
 
Ram makes no difference to the number of apps. That is the ram. Usually a 1gb rom box has 8gb ram...

a 1gb rom should work ok, but for the little bit extra (can sometimes be only £5-£10), I would say to go for a 2gb box... Also, make sure it's at least an S905X processor, not just an S905...

Always go for the more RAM (memory) 2GB & up. Most boxes come with 8GB & up of ROM (storage). Also if the android operating system is 6.0 or above you can add usb storage or micro sd card to expand the storage space of the box & it uses it as internal storage. You could also add an external HDD for storage but you can't install apps to external storage.

Also make sure it has a decent processor Amlogic S912 - Octo-core as an example. Any box with that processor & 2GB or more of ram should run well without any issues.

This would be a decent recommendation

It absolutely makes a difference and you should get 2gb as a minimum.
I've just bought another 2gb box off geekbuying for £27 which is what I paid the last time.... you do get offers coming round regularly.
Most of these boxes are pretty much set up for you and there's plenty of YouTube help out there as well as on here.
