Firestick alternatives

Looks like it has the Amlogic s905x5m CPU and the Mali-G310 GPU that the Onn 4k plus has.
Should perform slightly better than FS 4k max.
Looks like it is running AOSP 14.
Expensive for the specs

all indeed correct.

the main question is why are zapx associating theirselves with it when they have never done so with any other device

It does look like it’s pre loaded with something.
I personally would never buy a preloaded device but I guess might suit some.
The one time purchase, lifetime entertainment made me laugh.

I just wish they had upgraded the CPU and GPU instead of using the old hardware from the z11 pro.
But you get the DV license MOL3 and more storage if you need those.

Read the rules its not allowed.

Stuff like that no doubt goes on but it must be done via private messages only.

Anyone daft enough to buy a fully loaded stick with all the advise available on here must be mad and only themselves to blame if it goes tits up.

Admin put a guide on the request sections for a reason.

vSeeBox can be bought online but poor hardware and known to have malware.

Well my Transpeed x8 arrived yesterday.

Stuck a Slimbox ATV rom on it to get rid of any possible malware.

Stuck tivimate and Stremio on, its fast enough no lag more than fast enough as a firestick replacement for £9. I'll pass it on to grandson this weekend.

That's the one i got to replace the Firestick Max.Think it was £43 from AliExpress.Only thing i don't like about it is the remote but Button Mapper sorted that problem.Prefer the back button on the left and Home in the middle.

Nice one👍 Just waiting for my China box to arrive and hopefully can start setting it up this weekend. On another note, I've been reading through the various iptv guides on this forum since I joined recently, and it has been an excellent source of info! Thanks all.
