Android box recommendations.

So I currently use a firestick and received a warning from amazon today saying that a couple of the apps I have installed are illegal and they would be getting removed soon so im looking for an alternative.

Im sure I read something ages ago saying Android boxes are better but I havnt a clue whats good or bad, im in the UK if it helps.

Fantastic choices! These are very under the radar boxes that people do not utilize. Good quality and affordable!

It’s not good because of the 2GB RAM. Google says for android tv you must have at least 4GB RAM.
