Hi am thinking of replacing my VU+SOLO2 but am unsure what to get am thinking of a mag box as they just look so much simpler, anyone got any suggestions please
 
Mag boxes are shite too many codec issues here is a couple of devices
1 nvaida shield
2 formuler z8 or 7+ or alpha
3 buzz box
4 4k firestick
5 Amiko A6
6 air 96x box
But depends on budget as all vary in price and what layout you would be looking at
 
Formular z alpha is so easy to use, just add portal the same as mag boxes, x96 air is cheaper alternative and runs very smoothly, I'm.also looking at the shield tv tube version
 
Baz has made some excellent suggestions i would add.
1. The formuler z7+ is the best bang for your buck in my opinion.

2. Buzz box probably not worth considering I trailed one to be honest just not worth the money.

I have not tried any of the low end boxes for a while but I should imagine the firestick is still worth a shout
 
The Nvidia Shield tv is the daddy of them all, is that what your saying
It’s not me I am clueless, still trying to learn from this forum, it’s my sons opinion, he has had a couple android boxes,plus the 4K firestick which says is exceptional value, however he firmly believes the Nvidia shield is in a league of its own .

Buzztv not worth the money? Based on what?

Did you read my review i tried one for a week been as i have had pretty much everey high end box at some point that is my opinion. I have had the following boxes.
1. formuler ZX good box excellent if you just want to use it for iptv.
2. formuler z7+ a excellent all round box the noticeably faster than ZX
3. formuler z8 the only real difference i noticed from the z7+ was the mytvonline app 2 just not worth the extra money again my opinion.
4. I had a trial of a buzz 4500 amd it had some nice features that the z8 did not have however, it is £45.00 more than the z7+ which on paper the buzz has better specs however, there is no noticeable real difference.

So my overall opinion is the move from a formuler z7+ to a Z8 is just not worth the money i noticed no real difference in preformance .

So that leaves the the buzz 4500 vs the sheild TV to be honest the difference is night and day in noticeable overall preformance. so it is worth paying the extra £30 or so for the sheild tv.

The thing is the buzz 4500 would be good value at around £100 at the moment there is no real place in the market for it. Formuler have got the mid range market tied up the buzz 4500 is to expensive for a mid range box.

The sheild has got the high end of the market tied up, they cannot make them fast enough. i did wonder what all the hype was around the sheild when you buy one you certinaly realise it.

1. All round faster and smoother user expereince due to top end processor
2. Dolby Atmos
3. 4k up scaling
4. voice search on the control great for movie apps and laxy gits like me
5. Proper Uk plug
6. Match frame rate feature
7. run your smart home
8. play games
9. run a plex server (pro version)
10 Built in google cast.
