Recommendations for buying a TV box on the Android OS

Dear friends, if you are planning to buy a new box from Chinese manufacturers for yourself, be sure to read this:
Comparison of tv-boxes for the most common use cases


And you must take into account:
1. If you want to purchase an inexpensive TV box for up to $ 50, in most cases:
a) You should at least be aware of what a device is flashing, have basic knowledge of flashing at least mobile devices.
b) Imagine what Root Access is.
c) Be able to install Recovery / TWRP yourself, as well as be able to use its settings.
d) To have "straight arms" and not be afraid to attach your knowledge of the "lead designer" to him, namely to be able to disassemble the console and modify (improve) the cooling - not all devices in this price category are required ..
If you are not ready for these steps, go to step 2.

2. You simply purchase a box from one of the leading brands at a price of 70 (100) dollars and enjoy the operation of the device out of the box and also receive hardware support for DTS / Dolby Digital audio output, with the exception of devices purchased at the start of sales. In this case, you just need to wait a bit until the leading programmers of the manufacturers of these TV boxes fix all the bugs found in the firmware.

The future owner of the tv box, who asks for advice on buying a console and wants to get the most accurate answer, should indicate in his question:
1 - How the prefix will be used:
(a) without special requirements, for the kitchen, cottage, business trips
(b) mainly as a media player for watching IPTV and any video from various sources
(c) mainly as a game console for heavy dynamic games
(d) universally, as a media player and game console for heavy games

2 - ready to pay for the prefix n
(a) up to $ 50
(b) up to $ 90
(c) up to $ 140
(g) up to $ 200 and up

3 - after the purchase of the console its owner
(a) will use the prefix out of the box "as is" on native firmware, using official updates
(b) is ready, if necessary, to track the profile forum of the set-top box, to "modify" it in hardware (eg cooling replacement) and software (eg manual flashing, editing system files, etc.) plan.

What is still purchased TX92, which can be installed. Ugoos or boxing on S905x2 x96max? The price of them is the same.

Yes, this is the staple to which stock Ugoos AM3 rises.
No one will decide for you, the more the requirements you have not voiced.

Yes, all standard - movies in 1080 with HD Video Box and torrents without prior loading. TV channels on IPTV, Torrent TV. Silent YouTube. 4K and games are not interested in (maybe the child will play unthinking "three in a row"). Connect the RJ45 connector to the router (Wi-Fi is not in priority) and HDMI to TV. I read in profile branches that Tanix has overheating problems, and with the X96MAX there is a better situation, but there are few reviews.

Then another question arises: what is this in Shilde (for ~ 15k rubles) compared to Miniks (~ 10k rubles)? Well, yes, it is more powerful and support better (in Shilda it is, there is no more in Minikis =)), but on playing current HEVC HDR files, it should not be noticeably difference in favor. That is, it turns out the only plus it burned to the future (type when there will be 120kadrov, etc.)?
And yes, I know that in Shilda still you can play, but this is an additional jostyki and not everyone needs (by the way the loose of the curl or housing will fit?).

Rep: (3109)
For those who choose the boxes on S905x2 in pursuit of novelty ... Briefly I will tell you that they are bad, but what is good. While the view is only in two boxes (these are all boxes for the review), two are still on the way, but in general it is universal and applies to all boxes on S905x2.

Good:
  • All boxes are cold. Now you can not be afraid of the "Chinese" cooling system, you do not need to refine anything, there is no trottling. In this case, the performance plus-minus correspond to the "hot" S912.
  • Usb 3.0 honest implementation. The port is easily able to squeeze 300/300 MB / s.
  • The default noise is disabled. In the settings, it is possible to regulate noise cancellation, but it does not work in reality.
  • Android TV 8.1 (i.e., on any boxing with S905x2, you can potentially put the corresponding caste, and it is very cool; and in the near future and Android TV 9).
  • The decoder's output rate has increased significantly. This is useful to those who will use the game having games. For example, if S912 in NVIDIA GAMESTREAM (Moonlight, H.264) has a delay of 60 ms, then S905x2 has a delay of 40 ms. H.265: S912 - up to 40 ms, S905x2 - up to 20 ms.

Poorly:
  • The deinterlacing system does not work in either StageFright or MediaCodec. At the output, you will always receive a stream with a halved number of frames and a halved vertical resolution. It is evident that Amlogic did something (for example, now the interlaced stream always reports twice the frequency when processing the MediaCodec), but did not finish it. Fans of torrent TV immediately go for a walk in the woods.
  • Autoframe is not in any form. You can use the old Kodi.AmLogic.script.frequency.switcher plugin for Kodi, but it doesn't provide perfect uniformity (due to irregularities in the SurfaceView output), i.e. it makes no sense to use it, because one irregularity is replaced by another. All film fans immediately go for a walk in the woods.
  • Amcodec no longer supports the system. Using SPMC is meaningless - there is no amcodec support, there is no system autoframe, and deinterlacing does not work.
  • The SD controller is just as bad as the previous SoCs. Its ceiling is 20/15 MB / s, regardless of the speed of the card. So, as before, it is better to use a USB-card reader (especially USB 3.0).
  • Direct audio output in Kodi - only DD and DTS.
  • Various significant flaws and glitches (I’m not specifying yet, this should be described for each individual box).

In general, Ugoos AM3, Minix Neo U9-H and the corresponding boxes for Ugoos and Minix firmware (for example, X98 Pro) simply put any boxing with S905x2 to your knees. Do not need to be desire to buy a novelty with a new SOC, 4 GB of RAM, USB 3.0, etc. without priorweighing "for" and "against" your tasks . Of course, the situation will improve when AMLOGIC will do some reflecting, or when a powerful player (MINIX and UGOOS level) appears, which will cut the firmware for boxing on S905x2. But this is all sometime later, and you will use boxing now.
