Budget Android TV Box ($37 only)
I just placed an order for this box. Will come back again to review it for others.
MECOOL M8S PRO Plus Android 7.1.1 Amlogic S905X 2GB/16GB WIFI 4Kx2K@60fps VP9 HDR10
I caught this from the kodi forum.
The price I got it for is under $37 free shipping included in the US.
Very high review, and it will work with Netflix too.
My intention is to run the napper app on this box as well as other free live stream app, and then Kodi.
Just sharing this if like me you were looking to get a cheap tvbox for someone else to use.
Edit: Recently this box has got a bad batch of eMMC chip, so do avoid the box for now - unless like me, you just want to use the box for LibreElec +Kodi. In that case, that's fine. The thing with the bad eMMC chip will restrict you to flash a custom ROM, and therefore you will not get to run Android TV ROM.

nevermind, i just notice yours is the s905x and mine is the s912.
Anyway this box came highly recommended form the guys at Kodi forum and sounds like they know what they're talking about.
Plus 3g/32g I think that's overkill for streaming. And hey, the point I was searching for a cheap box. $37 is a steal. By the way, this one I got would cost about $50 on Amazon (us) but I got $37 from geekbuying.com. (again the kodi guys shared where to get it)
I forgot to mention this Mecool box works with Netflix too. not sure if X2 Beelink does.
But it could be momentarily..
i have netflix acc as well so this box seem to be good, but it hasnt arrive y et. looking to see its performance with kodi as well since it got Dual boot LibreELEC Kodi Krypton (another plus)
" they put too many addons on it that I don't need, I deleted and installed
a 17.4 on it.

terraium has almost every english tv drama and movies. don't need netflix anymore. megabox is a good back up. *currently only this version of terrarium works on android box.
Megabox works.
it doesn't work on tvpad4, works on all other android boxes.
some boxes might get kick out on first oppening, click back in the second time should work.
tested on tvpad4. mxq, mx3, m8sii, ts3, a95x, m8s pro, minix u1, ubox3, ubox4, nvidia shield...
