How are the tens of millions of Chromecast and Fire TV Stick users managing then?
Something from the year 2000 you want to share with us?
Clueless. No chance I’d even attempt to stream one of my 70GB 4K files over WiFi.

Streaming and normal data transfer, very different beasts mind...
A Ethernet cable will always carry data better than wifi. That is why office blocks have cat 6 points at evety desk. Sometimes people dont want or cannot run data cables all over the home. Home plugs are a good option if wifi is sketchy. I have a mixture of the two on my devices and the wired option is always the best. wifi is getting better year on year.
A hell of a bite, i must say.
Canny bite over something as innocuous as a thread about Android boxes. Fair play for spending the time googling what is one of the faster network protocols to appear knowledgeable though.

@KST if I bought one of these Shield boxes would you be able to hoy all the sport, films on for me?
Sick of paying for Sky and I wouldn't know where to start with all this carry on.
( then again if a Mag can manage I'm sure I can

That's all Chinese to me mate, I'll leave that to me boy.
I've seen the reviews on here and YouTube and it seems to be the best out there atm.
They are, they come at a premium but are excellent. Black Friday they will be discounted i recon.

I really need to get a grip and sort this out but I'm lazy as fuck and it's costing me a fortune paying for Sky telly.
Really appreciate the advice so thanks mate.
Be careful mate, they are good...BUT...don't expect a like for like replacement for something like sky.
May advice, drop sky to basic pack without sports and movies, get a good deal on that. Then source your sports and movies via this other route, that's a happy balance IMO.

Pretty sure I can't get the Virgin app onto my fire stick, may have a better look at it later today. If I can it should save me a few quid

Should be easily enough to sort aye...there's always Youtube tutorials if I get stuck.

If it's just for streaming, it's not worth paying 180 when you can get an X92, Beelink GT1 Utimate or T95z+ for under 70 quid.
If you're into gaming as well as streaming then it'd probably be worth it. However, you can game comfortably on the above mentioned boxes.
With the remote and gaming pad, on sale from monday.
