Can you still browse the web or is it purely a Kodi only box?

At the moment I have a £30 jobby android box from fleabay and it lags like crazy. Would your box eliminate this?

No web browser, just a media box.
There is little to no lag on the GUI.

I use Kodi and Mobdro on my phone and then hdmi it to my tellybox and it works lovely.

But.

I am assuming that as it is a feed what is totes popular, Sky Sports (watching a footie match) is sometimes laggy/hangs/pixelates. Does CansaTV suffer the same?

They all pull from the same pool of sources ad the quality varies from source to source.

Would there be any issues running one of these outside the UK? I could always vpn but it's extra hassle.

I was just going with the box a friend has that needs to be cleared almost daily, but then he does have about 100 tv shows in his favourites list and clearing the cache gives him around 40% of the memory back.

Yup, sounds like a crappy android box.
I did initially buy a few to sell, but when I installed the software I found out how slow, laggy and low spec they are.
I sent those fuckers back and got a total refund.

Just recieved mine.

Easy to set up and works perfectly. More movies than I will ever be able to watch and many many dinosaur documentaries.

Will be buying one for my parents.

Got mine a few days ago

Youtube is being a bit funny but I think that's to do with my google account settings.

Other than that its 10/10, REALLY responsive and quick.

The danger of just sitting at home watching TV and doing nothing else with your life has just become an actual risk for me Laughing

Agreed, Craig has been very helpful and patient with after-sales.

Big Thumbs Up from me.
