I prefer an Android box you can do a lot more with them & you can get a decent one for £35 this is the one I'm using at the moment.

HI Alien yes this is the sort of thing im looking at id like a box not a stick but there are a good few on amazon i was hoping for peoples reccomendations on which ones are crap and which are good :)
 
That's a decent box, I've tried many Android boxes over the years and this is one of the better ones, there are loads of sites selling it for around £30-£35

If there's a negative it's that the wifi is crap, but I have found this to be the case with most budget Android boxes. I would advise using an Ethernet connection or if you have to use wifi try & make sure the box is as close to your router as possible.

I've bought many boxes from both these sellers and have never had any problems

There are loads of boxes with mx branding on them & some are useless, make sure you buy one with a s905 processor (or better) 2gb ram (minimum) & 16gb ROM (minimum)
 
I use an mxq s805 4core 4 gpu, 1gb ram 8gb flash. Kodi with light skins runs just fine. So does airmouse. it will cost around £30 with airmouse. Keep your skin light, only install plugins you actually use and want and it'll be fine. Works perfect on my 1080i.
 
I'm not saying a lesser box won't work OK with kodi, but if you're paying £30-£35 you can get a better box for the price, why bother buying old technology.
 
i think the m8s is ok for the price, just make sure you have the latest android firmware as that is what kodi add-on builders will be using soon.

Mini m8s is a decent budget device aswell its about 30 quid and is Android 5.1 only issue with it is plastic casing which does get quite hot
 
MXQ Pro for around £35 with the S905 processor. I've been using it for a while now and, apart from the occasional lock-up, it has performed very well. Remote control is a bit basic but there are alternatives available for a few pounds extra.
