I personally don't think CaNsA charges too much (£100) for a box at all.
Having been doing this same thing for a good while, I can explain the charge and why it's low.
Cost of equipment would be around £50, then add to that the time involved flashing the kit, installing the OS and the software and testing (upwards of one hour) for each box. Then we have the R+D of the software, I know I have spent hundreds of hours getting my software build right for public use (simplicity), then the cost of hosting update servers and the time having to keep the files updated to latest builds.
We can then add the cost of support, I try to build so that there is minimal support, as if I have to connect to a box to fix it for 30 mins, that is profit being eaten into, so if you have a customer that is having issues beyond your control from the build stage, then an hour or two and that £50 profit has been well and truly eaten up.
It's not quite the same as buying a box, putting the beast on it and giving it to a customer to look after themselves, as this could all be done for £50 to your door. The real value is in the ongoing support and guarantee that the device will be working well into 2017 and beyond.
£100 is cheap, if you don't agree, go buy an Ebay android box and take the risk that it will 1, work and 2, keep working. |

If CaNsA's tv boxes are too expensive then don't buy one. If £35 ones are too poo then don't buy one.
People on BCF are in a pretty good position in terms of getting help with any Kodi related problems.

How do these boxes perform for normal day to day TV - just watching the news on BBC1, that sort of thing. Any lag in changing channels?
Is this reliable enough to replace my virgin TV box without also needing to get freeview or freesat working? |
Got rid of virgin media about a year and a half ago and never looked back, a kodi running device, whatever it may be, has provided all the required entertainment. There are live tv addons, on the whole they work fine, have their moments sometimes but nothing to get bothered about.
Given that you can access virtually any tv show or movie on demand, the actual need for Live TV is minimal at best.
