Hi all,
I'm new on here so please go easy on me! This is my second attempt at posting this as my first attempt was wiped after switching tabs on my browser, schoolboy error!
I am looking into purchasing an Android box and am after some information on which model would best suit me. I am primarily looking at one to stream sports and to a lesser extent, movies; I am into some pretty diverse sports that are not screened here and currently stream them through a laptop, which has its own frustrations, mainly the fact that my laptop is crap!
I only found out about droid boxes through a work colleague who purchased one for around £70 on Amazon and he has been raving about it so I decided to do a bit of research for myself. I am tempted by the X7 model or the X7 Ultimate model, mainly due to the fact that you can link them to your phone to use as a remote. Before choosing finally which one to buy I have decided to ask some of you more learned people on the subject to see if you can answer some of my queries on the X7 models.
1) Can you fast forward through movies with this model or is this impossible with all models due to the fact the movies are streamed in the first place? If available to me I would like a box with this option, if not then hey hoo!
2) Is the linking of the smartphone as a remote actually any good or would you be better buying a keyboard to go with it?
3) Does anyone know when the X7 model will be available to purchase? It is currently being listed as out of stock
4) Which is better, the X7 or the X7 Ultimate and why?
5) Is there a droid box that is better for me than either of the two mentioned, and if so what is it? If you could send me a link that would be great.
I may have more questions in time but that's enough to get me started, as I have said before I am pretty new to droid boxes but am not a technophobe (nor a tech wizard) and any advice would be gratefully received apologies if this is a thread that is out of place, mods please feel free to move it if it is.
Thanks in advance.
