2015 I update my review to 4 stars because the customer service from the company was very good. They responded to my complaints
This TV Box is very good. I like it as it's reliable, sturdy, and relatively easy to setup. It comes with some apps installed including Kodi and Mobdro. I am very comfortable with it and the hardware seems to be very well made. I had to flash this brand TV box more than once and once the firmware is the right one, it will work.Common issues with this box are:1. sometimes the remote doesn't work even when I place it very close to the box and I even flash the box and reinstall the firmware. The occasion when that happened the box, this seller replace the remote with a mini keyboard.And the remote is basic and in most cases you would be better served to get a mini keyboard2. The Mobdro app that came installed doesn't work well with the stock firmware. Had to uninstall it and then re-install that app3. Kodi generally needs to be upgraded to the later version4. You generally have to install your favorite apps such as showbox and configure the box.

This is a good simple solution if you're looking for some kind of ...
This is a good simple solution if you're looking for some kind of Android device to plug into your TV for just about any reason. The Amazon Fire TV stuff can be cheaper depending on what you go with, but this isn't locked down to just their market or any of that nonsense. There are several non-standard apps that ship with the device for all kinds of video streaming, but frankly none of them really seem to work correctly or want to update themselves. Everything that I have downloaded through the Android Play store works just fine and updates when necessary though.

Difficult, but ok for the price
This unit has features like multiple USB ports and RCA outlets, and a remote that is more 'user friendly' than others. However, the onscreen setup and use is very tedious and difficult. The airmouse is basically useless. Connecting to WiFi is really hard. I've yet to be able to do a system update because of errors. You need to be really close to the unit and point the remote straight at the unit for remote functions. Will not operate with universal remotes.On the plus side - it plays pretty much all video codecs, streams pretty good, has multiple SDHC slots, 2 USB slots, HDMI outlet, RCA outlets. It is moderately priced for what you get. Improved remote functions (although I've yet to understand why the numbers, since you don't have channel changing capability).

You can't go wrong with the MXIII Android TV Box!
I bought this for my daughter for an early Christmas gift to replace a mini-PC dongle. I already own one of these (for a couple of years now) and was pleasantly surprised that the price has decreased by half since I bought mine. I love my MXIII TV box and knew this would be the perfect replacement for her!Additionally, this thing arrived FAST!! From order to door in 2 days! Impressive!

Nice concept that does not work - Died on two weeks
Updated 7/7/17 - The device hangs on the Google boot screen and no longer works. Zero stars at this point. Stay away.Unpacked and instructions are in German.Hulu doesn't work - hangs on commercials with error 3Miracast doesn't work - fails to accept connection from anything.Amazon Prime Video doesn't work, video starts, the stops in a couple seconds.The only app that does work is Netflix.Remote control is an absolute joke.Device has rebooted multiple times with the serious error message.Will likely return as the device and docs have zero support information.

Overall awsome streaming box
I have been using this android tv box for over 2 months now and so far it's worked very well most of the time. My main reason for removing one star is because I can't seen to be able to put any of the apps on the micro sd card like you can on an android phone or tablet. The supplied power adapter cord is way too short but that's not too much of a problem I just use an extension cord when I need to. The Miracast is a nice feature which works fairly well most of the time but can be disappointing when it lags and pixelates. I like that it has not one but two web browsers unlike roku which has none. The picture quality is really good and looks great in high def it works well with the older crt tv's too. I have not yet had the chance to use the mbox with a 4K tv. The mx3 also does well with some games some of which can be played using a wireless usb mouse. I use the wireless mouse and keyboard most of the time it's more convenient then using the remote. Another feature I like is that you can use the av port as a headphone jack when using the mbox with an HDTV. This little box is the ultimate all in one entertainment center that is also small enough to take along traveling. I believe the mx3 is well worth the price I bought a roku one a year ago for the same price and while it is a great streaming box the mx3 is far more versatile and gives you more for the money's worth.

like blu-ray player that converts my tv to smart-tv
It works but it drops video streaming often. Internet browsing and youtube don't work on my MX3 box. Quality of video streaming is, most of the time, lower than Netflix and HD cox cable TV which I watch on my other streaming equipment, like blu-ray player that converts my tv to smart-tv . I end up using my other equipment to watch Netflix, YouTube and browse the internet.MX3 box has some limited use, for example; watching some international sports and news TV. You can also watch new movies, but quality is inferior to Netflix watched through blu-ray player or NetGear NeoTV Media Player. Also, there are links to Adult content available on MX3, which can be a problem if you have children using it.

Does not stream Netflix in HD.
Buyers beware these android TV boxes are not authorized by Netflix to play HD. So if you are buying under the guise that you can play Netflix 4k...it will not. I learned the hard way. Otherwise the box does stream HD where available.It is plug and play no setup necessary. Wish they had a side note for netflix...so hopefully this will help those wishing to purchase.
