Want to buy a TV box! Teach you how to buy your own TV box?

Android TV boxes are now more and more users, covering a wider range of use groups. For senior digital gamers, there are generally no obstacles to getting started. However, given the limited level of awareness of this type of product by more general consumer groups, it is inevitable that some problems may arise. I have deliberately collated and summarized some of my previous postings, and further subdivided and elaborated, hoping to help this part of the user to use it more quickly.

First, consider whether you need an Android TV box?

This should be the first question we need to consider before we contact this type of product. As for whether it is needed, we must first understand the function of the Android TV box, and then consider the actual situation of their own. Let's briefly talk about the main function of the Android TV box -
1 Watch free live streaming of live TV, 2 spots on demand like TV shows/movies, 3 install other programs to achieve some functional extensions (such as reading/Internet/karaoke), and we also need to pay attention to the inherent defects of Android TV boxes, that is serious Depending on the network, the bandwidth requirement is high, and the Caton phenomenon is likely to occur during the peak hours of the network usage. The stability of the TV live broadcast server cannot be compared with the wide-area STB.

Returning to the consumer's own point of view, if the home has already purchased a smart TV, the Android TV box function can be fully realized, so naturally it is unnecessary to purchase such products. If you don't plan to use Lianguang Motor's top box at home, you don't even look at the habits of cable TV. More entertainment is through computers and mobile phones, so naturally it will not be used.
The users of the Android TV box are - 1 have regular TV habits, 2 are dissatisfied with the monthly fee paid by the top box of the TV, 3 intend to watch movies or TV dramas online through TV, 4 think that buying smart TVs is not worthwhile. The crowd.

Another critical question is whether or not the Android box can replace the radio and TV set-top box. I think it is entirely feasible. Before that, I was very doubtful about the clarity of the Internet TV with the Android box. However, with the deeper use of it, it can be found that domestic TV stations that currently provide high-definition signals can basically find the corresponding webcasts. As for the richness of the channel, the customizable Android box is far stronger than the wide-area set-top box. Of course, in order to truly achieve the latter's fluency, the broadband network used by users must be sufficient.

2. What are the specific categories of TV boxes and how do you choose?

The set-top box is a relatively broad concept. In addition to the CATV cable set-top box and the Android TV box concerned in this article, it also includes IPTV set-top boxes, high-definition players, and satellite receivers. About the specific differences and functions of these types of products can refer to the post "Simply talk about all kinds of different set-top boxes to see which is suitable for you."

In addition to these types of TV boxes, there are also products that are popular with the Android box and that is the wireless screener. This type of product is similar to the U disk, and its functions are relatively simple. After being connected to a TV, the multimedia in the mobile phone can be wirelessly transmitted to the TV. Generally, TV live broadcast and software extension functions are not provided. About the wireless screen, you can refer to two of its products: Actions iCast and Freelander AP20 evaluation.

The factors that need to be considered when purchasing a box are the same as those for buying other digital products. There are several aspects such as brand, hardware and software configuration and price. Personally think that, as far as possible within the budget, as far as possible choose a higher configuration of the product. Before the Spring Festival, I had done a series of shopping guides, taking into account the small number of new products during the period after the year. Can still be used as a reference for purchase, of course, there are many alternative products.
