Here is the homepage for the box
http://androidtvbox.us/
I originally ran across this on ebay and after a little bit of googling found the home page. I ordered one yesterday and hopefully will have it by Friday since it shipped from the Orlando area and I'm in Lauderdale. Anyways I emailed the company last night around 11pm and within 5 minutes I got a reply, then shot some emails back and forth a bit today. It seems like they are shooting for the mass market but so far have only appealed to the power users so based off feedback so far they have switched gears(that's basically a quote from the email I got today) Also I was hoping there would be a thread about one of these boxes but cannot seem to find one here which is a bit surprising. So I will be posting a review this weekend for you guys to take a look at. I figure it has to be better than this damn Revue box I have running x86 lol.
-----UPDATE-----
I had a chance to play with it a bit Froday evening. Upon first boot it prompted me to update it and everything seemed to go through without a hitch. But after it rebooted it, it prompted me again and then froze. I eventually pulled the plug, grabbed the image from the website and updated it with that and since then it's been rock solid.
Now to the good stuff. The remote it comes with does not have good range at all. My couch is maybe 8 feet away and I felt it to be very unresponsive but to be honest the remote is pointless once you just add a 2.4ghz mouse to the equation. I spent two hours messing aroudn with the damn remote until I remebered I could just use a wireless mouse. After that everything was much easier. I added both my gmail accounts with ease, browsed the store and downloaded my apps. I even installed the latest xbmc(neon) nightly from my SMB share. Video playback with the default player works perfect even over wireless, just lacks subtitle support. For now as long as its less then 720p xbmc can handle it just fine with sub support.
I will post more once I get a chance to play with it more, but for $88 this box blows my google tv away.
For anyone interested, it is $88

To everyone...as as Android user for several years now, and a fan of anything user friendly enough to make nice with my network, while allowing me to tinker and expand, thus far...this thing works! And it works well. First let me tell you what I have...its the G Box I, and it looks like the only differences between the Gbox II are the case size, and additional ports: Here are the specs:
Mali400 Quad Core 3D GPU
Rockchip Cortex A8 CPU
1GB RAM
4GB* Storage
USB Storage Extendable (Flash Drives/HDD)
SD Storage Extendable (Up to 32GB!)
802.11g Wifi
HDMI Out
Audio/Video Out
Y/Pb/Pr Out (G-Box II)
2x USB 2.0 Ports (G-Box I)
4x USB 2.0 Ports (G-Box II)
First of all, It is 4.1... it is Jelly Bean! They did create a custom interface overlay, but you still have access to all the apps, settings, etc...and full google play store access. They include a media center app that can easily see my home network and plays every codec Ive thrown at it. I have a couple of Archos tablets, so Im used to great videoplayers since thats what Archos hangs their hat on. MX player does a good job but their picture quality suffers. I'm using this right now on a 50" LG Plasma...and Im getting full 1080p output. I also have a the MK802 mini PC with the Allwinner 10 chip. The MK802 works fine but it had initial problems with wireless network connectivity. No issues here...it found my network right away and so far has been rock solid. Also, so far, this thing is fast. I believe the Rockchip processor it uses is running at 1.2ghz...so far its smooth. Transitions seem smooth and video streaming is excellent. I loaded the IMDB app and payed several HD trailers... no issues...no stuttering...no frame rate drops....smooth. Like I mentioned before...it recognized my DLNA and Upnp devices like a champ. I use Twonky, and every display in my house is connected to the server... it recognized all of my shares, no issues. These mini pc devices (Gbox. MK802) are replacing all of my stand alone streamers. I have a Sony SMP N100 or one display and a Sony Bluray player that also supports DLNA on the other. I run XBMC on my server ( which is the best!)...but these devices can do everything they can do (except my server) and more. Basically youre running an android tablet on your TV, with all the access and flexibility that comes with it. Browsing works great...and it DOES play flash! Unlike my Motorola RAZR! When it updated to ICS, I lost flash...! Now I have to use the Puffin browser on it to get flash. Dolphin HD is my preferred browser, and Ill have it on the Gbox soon...
Now I am NOT getting paid to write all of this, nor am I connected with the company. I'm your average android user who wants a device to work well, talk to my windows base network, and allow for good connectivity flexibility.(not a closed proprietary ecosystem like Apple!) Im not new to the game. Before XBMC, I used my Popcorn hour for everything, and before that experimented with Window Media Player PC's, integrating my Xbox and PS3. Hell...I still have my original modded Xbox, with the original Xbox media player ( where it all started) Ive had this thing for less than a week, and my MK802 for a little over that...but Ill tell you this...its working well...very well so far!
I can confirm flash worked for me using the default browser. Still playing around so a review will come later.

Yes...I installed Plex and played around with it a while. It worked. I didnt keep it because I already use Twonky and XBMC. Once XBMC for Android is ready for primetime I'll be good. It does what Plex does and much more.
I dumped my iPad1 to pick up the N7 (love it, despite being on my 3rd, soon to be 4th, because I keep getting N7's the fracking annoying screen separation).
Just wondering if there's a cheap, good quality, android equivalent to what I was using on the iPad to stream videos from my media computer to my tablet. I used to use Air Video Server. So if anyone can point me in a good direction, I'd appreciate it!
And it only needs to stream on wifi. Don't care to be able to stream stuff to my cell when away from home.
Yes.
Search for Plex.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've tried plex before. HUGE resource hog on your media computer (couple hundred MB footprint). Any other servers? What I liked about AVS was that server application was really lightweight.
Edit:
And oh wow, I just tried it again (it HAD been a while, so I figured I'd give it another shot). It's absolutely horrendous. Media management is a ****ing joke, scanners can't find files if in certain layouts, and it's slow. I will however say that they worked on the weight a bit, though still heavy, chugging ~174MB of ram.
Hey no one ever recommends this here... but qloud media server is what your looking for (I promise)... my biggest problem too when coming from crappy iPhone lol
Agree. Plex server is ****. Media management is slow as hell. But I don't know any other else.

Bubble uPnP as the client and just the uPNP parts of windows. I use it to stream video, photos and music from a NAS drive and before that my PC (Windows 7). With MX Player Pro to do the actual playing I have no problems at all. There are a few uPnP servers - Twonky is one I've used too.

This. Emit is awesome and simple.
I have played with a lot of the servers and I keep coming back to Emit. It is not the highest quality, but it is a small footprint and it is very reliable. When local I have recently been testing out using Bubblepnp to connect to my plex server and then play the video with whatever my player of choice is, Dice, BS etc and that is putting out some really quality results for me so far. I just wish I could use the PS3 Media Server to transcode to my Nexus 7, but no luck as of yet.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for tablet advice. I am a high school math teacher who teaches using SMARTboards. If you've never heard of this, it's basically a giant white board that is also a touchscreen (picture a 6 foot tablet mounted to the wall). It mirrors the PC in my classroom (via a projector mounted on the ceiling), and allows lots of fun interactive opportunities with my students. However, I am stuck at the front of the room with my back to my kids a lot. I want to change all that, so I want to buy a tablet to control the PC (which in turn controls the SMARTboard).
What I am seeking requires a tablet that could take over a Windows XP PC (wirelessly I assume - we do have WiFi access). Any suggestion on good apps for remote access would be appreciated here, but also I want to know this - would this system seem to be a good one with the Nexus 7?
Do you guys think the screen is large enough for this sort of application (solving math problems with a stylus, and this would be projected onto a large screen for my kids to see)? Or would you think a 10" screen would be better?
Also, would this idea work, technologically? WiFi access of PC... this should allow writing on the tablet to write on the PC... SMARTboard would then show what I'm writing since it is a clone of the PC screen... I just need to make sure that I can easily control programs remotely from the tablet.
I know this may sound like a mess, but I really want to do my homework before spending money I don't otherwise NEED to spend. My smartphone (EVO 4G LTE) does all I need right now, but this would be a toy that I can also use daily for work. Thanks for any input you guys have! Feel free to ask questions if what I said didn't make perfect sense. I just know that XDA is the place to go for tech questions, and this is an awesome community.
Check out this app called Jump Desktop on the Google play store, might be what you're looking for.

Splashtop 2 is really good, works great with my computer.
A 7in screen should be fine if the app in question can zoom, or you dont mind less space.
I notice that with my remote desktop it doesnt matter if im zoomed in unless i try to name a file, or if im using photoshop to paint.
Realvnc for the win !
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I would imagine the smartboard uses its own software, could you list the boards make/model? We might be able to help out a bit more. Otherwise you'll just be connecting your tablet to your computer via remote desktop and then using it to control your smartboard. I would imagine you would definitly lose some functionality that way and it would be hard to control with the small screen.
I would suggest either getting a netbook or small laptop and just face the class using it or get a stool to set it on, or to go to the google play store online and see if your smartboard has an app.
Good luck
That app has great reviews - and is cheap too! Thank you for the suggestion! I wish I could test out this system first, haha. Oh well, I'm sure there's a return policy I can use if something won't work.

I have done this actually
I love my nexus but i do NOT think its big enough..
when my arm was in a sling from surgery for over 5 months.. I would use SPLASH TOP .
My tablet was a 10 inch Acer a500 tablet connected thru my netgear wifi router in close proximity . to my Wired connection on the same router. With HDMI MIRROR to 42 INCH HD TV.. i used handwriting and photo shop on the tv screen . i think the 10 inch tablet was ok but the hand writing is hard because of the size of the screen on the tablet Drawing something say the 3 inches tall 1 letter on the tablet will show up as 4 feet tall on that display ..
Your software could have some zoom features in it to correct this. Other wise it would be difficult to make it work... its hard for my to explain the issue .
very doable if your program on the computer can overcome the zoom issue.. i THINK This is what the post above mine was saying..

+1 for Splashtop, but I would imagine there is some sort of Smartboard app specifically for Android devices. If there is such an app, that would probably be your best bet, but I don't know.
Splashtop on the other hand was the smoothest remote control software I've used. It's free as well (as long as your using it on a local network).

if there is a app for the smart board then a 7 in tablet will likely work .. the issue is the resolution and more so pixel density .. If the app will let you project say 1-4 ratio or what ever you need to make it work and resize then you could have a winner...
we use something similar to that smart board at work for blue prints..
ohh and +1 more for splash top Its best and i have tried them all.. the issue could lie in the speed and network ability of the xp pc
Unfortunately there is no SmartBoard app yet. Apple is getting one this fall, and Android MAY in the future. As for now, u can't bank on that.
I'm thinking the Samsung Tab 2 10.1 would be a good choice. Or maybe I should look into Windows Tablets... Hmm.

If you can wait till october- November I suggest you look into windows 8 tablet/PC which could do all of your computer functions with pen input and run all your computer applications.
I have a friend who is also an elementary school teacher and I recommended this device to her as she is also using the smartboard. I haven't used it myself but I think the size of screen is good for it unless you also already have a 10 inch tablet. But to each is own I know I write extremely small and she is more of a bubbly letter kind of gal so I can fit write more you could say.

Does anyone else have issues with accuracy of the styli out there today? I tried a few tablets and a few styli... I couldn't write an equation to save my life! It kept not reading it or appearing slightly above or below where I wanted. Then I tried the S pen on the Sammy Note 10.1... It was incredible! It was like writing on paper with a pencil! I don't wanna spend that much, but man that thing was incredible... I think that's what I may need.

I've seen a lot of threads about using your tablet as an extended desktop or second monitor, however most of these are achieved over wifi and therefore I imagine are quite laggy.
I'm not that bothered about having it wireless, as I'm going to have my tablet next to my laptop anyway, I'm looking for something that connects through the usb port or micro hdmi so I can extend my laptop desktop to my nexus to utilise the touch display for things like photoshop editing, without having the lag that comes with wifi.
Anyone know of any solutions to this?
Oh also the max supported display res by the laptop is 1920x1080.... does that mean the desktop will look rubbish on the nexus screen?
Cheers.
Anyone know if its possible?

Having it connect through usb is very unlikely. HDMI is impossible. Your best bet would be to use Splashtop or a similar wireless program. Splashtop is pretty damn close to real time (from what I've experienced). It also depends on the resolution you set it to stream. 720 might be better for what you're trying to do.

I agree with the gentleman above. Splashtop is extremely good at streaming a desktop. I have yet to try something like extended desktop with it but I can vouch that you can really even watch things such as netflix (not that you would for any reason, but things that require a good amount of bandwidth) without much trouble. I'm always impressed. Let me know if you're able to fix up an extended monitor situation with it.

I've had luck telling windows to "expand" even though there isn't an actual monitor. Then set the resolution of that "monitor" - connect through Splashtop - and switch to that monitor. I've had luck playing games, movies, and using desktop applications quite well using that method.

Yep, gonna necro a thread.
Anyone else had luck with this? I tried iDisplay and it continuosly crashed. I worked with support for weeks trying to get it resolved. Of course, they only answered me once every few days.
I think some of the problem might have something to do with the ridiculous resolution of our 10s.
Any other tried-and-true suggestions besides iDisplay? I used to use ScreenSlider, but that appears to be gone.
Is there an easy possibility to clone the screen of my s4 on my Win8 Notebook? I know there is a function for apple products (i.e. iphone/ipad and mbp via airport), but I would prefer a non-apple solution which is more open (but as simple).

Are you looking for video or video+audio? If you just want to mirror the screen, you can get something like Droid VNC Server or TeamViewer QuickSupport. If you want to broadcast audio and video then I'm not sure how you'd do that.

Cloning the screen would be enough. (audio broadcasting just a nice extra though...)
I have a 4540s that I hackintoshed with Windows 8 as a dual boot. In mavericks, airplay works great on my Apple tv this probably isn't much help though, but it took so long to get it all working that I wanted to brag

Well yeah, those work, and you can also try BBQscreen demo in legacy mode and that might work a bit faster. I tried it but I was too lazy to make it work well.
It's a pitty that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for airplay/airport for android/windows...
Sometimes Apple definitely does something good... ^^

Well technically Apple's Airplay doesn't just play on a Mac without a program on the Mac either. To airplay to a Mac you need a server program, same as android. Google also makes the Chromecast to compete with the Apple TV, and either devices can to display out through a cable.
