After hearing about this for some time , we decided to buy this off amazon. I found it slow but it turns out that it was just our Internet
Works great at my parents who have fibre op Internet. Easy to use .
If you've ever used an Android device of any kind, this Android TV box from NIUBIER is going to be really easy for you to get the hang of. Like most of the Android TV boxes on the market, this one is essentially just a device that lets you run Android onto your TV, allowing you to play games, watch movies, browse the web, and whatever else you could do on Android. It comes pre-loaded with some basic apps, like Youtube and Skype, and the rest are easily downloaded from the Play Store.
If you want to use this box to stream videos onto your tv, it's a super simple way of doing that. The box is ready to go as soon as you plug it in, though many of the apps that are installed by default are out of date. Updating them, or installing new apps, is easy to do via the Play Store. After using it for Netflix, Youtube, and to play several Android games, I'm very happy with how fast it is to set up, and how easy it is to control. Ideally you really want a USB keyboard and mouse to get the most out of this, but the remote that is included does an okay job too. It has plenty of functionality for controlling the various apps, including a Mouse mode, where the remote can be used to control a pointer similar to how a mouse would work.
I should caution that if you plan to use it for Kodi that it is not official supported (Kodi does not officially support any of these TV boxes) and thus not guaranteed to work well (this is not an issue with the box, it depends on the Kodi update), however it works well for Netflix and others.
Overall, this is a good, straight-forward box if you want to stream content through your TV, whether by internet or by USB. It's simple, and it does the job well.
