EVANPO Android 8.1 TV Box, 4GB RAM 32GB ROM Quad Core 64 Bits Processor 3D/4K/H.265 Dual WiFi Smart TV Box Media Player with Wireless Mini Keyboard (Backlit)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I've been using streaming receivers for a while and have had mixed experiences with them. Modern Smart Tvs have much of the functionality of many streamers, but even if you have a new smart TV you'll still probably find this very useful. If you don't have a Smart TV , you'll be even served by one and if you haven't used one at all, you don't know what you're missing.As soon as this arrived I was surprised by how big the box was (packaging, the device itself is about as large as a typical smart phone). That's b/c it not only comes with the standard point and click remote control, it also includes a handheld keyboard which was a really nice touch. The keyboard lets you type out password and usernames instead of having to click around repetitively or try to use an onscreen keyboard. It has a rechargeable battery and is illuminated with light blue background lighting that is really nice.To get started you unbox it, you plug the power into the Evanpo unit, you need to pull the fob out of the battery case of the keyboard and insert it into one of the two USB ports, then connect the HDMI cable to your Television. You can then navigate into settings and add your network connection, blue tooth or any other peripherals.Once hooked up to the internet, you can open up Amazon video, Netflix, hulu or hop into the Google Play store and pull up any apps you like. You can just open up YouTube for instance and play whatever you'd like. You can open up a webbrowser and browse the web. You can install Facebook or other apps that you like. This includes IPTV services. If you aren't familiar with them, you may want to take a few minutes and search for "IPTV" to look at some of the services. I had come across some Facebook groups that are hosted and run by some of the streaming services and they will help you set up the software and get up and running. This enables you to get packages that include 12,000, 18,000+ channels from all over the world.If you look at the videos I attached, I played some youtube videos using the speaker in my TV that was sent through the HDMI cable. However I also went ahead and connected my DEK LSX speakers which are completely wireless. You can connect other peripherals up to the device which is really nice.Some other things that you can do that you might not realize is that you can download apps for your home control system, like a smart doorbell or smart locks. You can open up apps for many security cameras, you can work with your home automation system, run a network scanner or whatever else you may like.Additionally, you can run Code if you'd like, using Python or R for many programming tasks. Additionally you can load and run VPN software, network scanners , join conference calls and almost anything you can do with a Android.And you can also add storage, through USB and on the network. You can not only download programs but media.There are a few annoyances that I've found, but on the whole the benefits so far outweigh them they aren't worth taking any points off. One issue is that if you're going to download huge media libraries, your drive will fill up fast. You'll definitely want to add storage but that's quite easy (USB, NAS or Cloud). Setting up all of your software is a bit of a headache depending on how many services you're a part of, but if you use Google Play already, once you sign into the store it'll recognize your existing downloads and account information. Now that this model includes the keyboard, entering in credentials and passwords is no big deal and Yes, you can install your password management software and not only benefit from the security but the convenience.Audio is a little erratic, but that seem to be a function of the media itself. The volume for instance make take you a few minutes to find so I'll save you a step (use the keyboard and just press the + or - keys or the function keys on the top row). The Bluetooth speakers that I use integrated quite easily although I had a hiccup trying to get them paired the first time. When I come back into a session the volume seems to reset if I'm not using peripheral output but again that's really not much of an issue. I've run into some buffering issues when I'm streaming video a few times, but I believe that's a function of the router and it's both occasional and intermittent so that I only mention it in being as thorough as possible.Well, with that said, here are a few pictures of the device itself, the relative size of the device and the keyboard, the output, some video of me opening up Youtube and playing video and adding Bluetooth speakers to it. I also included a video of download and install time for a rough idea of how quickly things progress.

A little on the pricey side if you're just looking for a set-top box, game streaming is seamless with no noticeable lag I didn't test it but the screens seem to be in synch so no issues from me lol, you're looking for a set-top box and want more than roku has to offer but dont want to go the route of a fire TV.It addresses all the shortcomings of the other box, on the Shield there is double the total storage and triple usable space plus by adding a USB drive you can expand the internal storage, the USB drive acts just like the internal storage, you can swing it this kills the other boxes.fast, light and beautiful. You could feel it that it has some power as you navigates with the mini keyboard - separate mini keyboard because it comes up fast.

It is my first android box. It was simple to install. "plug-and-play"KODI works excellent! HD! It is connected to my Seagate GoFlex Home NAS 2TB - easy.Bluetooth headphones connected - and now I can see a movie without disturbing othersMany other great stuff! The keyboard is great - haven't found out how to switch to Hebrew though.Cons: I wish it would be sold with an adaptor that is suits the buyer's country electrical plugs. The remote doesn't play and pause etc buttons (the keyboard does).Anyway it is new and I have a lot to discover.

I purchase this product to replace an older one. I must say I got a great deal with this product because it comes with a remote and keyboard. The product works well, easy to use, and came with up to day software.

Too bad , i didn't received the usb with remot control why???! Icant used it without the small usb thing

Don't spend your money on this box. The controls are so messed up that even for basic operations you find yourself having to switch mouse mode to navigate menus.

Way over priced and very sluggish from screen to screen. There are way better and cheaper Android boxes then this overpriced one, don't be fooled like I was thinking it was the full package.

Easy set up, fast and it does not lag. Will purchase again.
