Whether all these claims are true or not the price tag on these boxes raises a lot of questions.

Most people cringe at the site of the price of these models and some were willing to pay the price often question why do they use such low-quality boxes.

So also point for most buyers is the quality of the box. So in this review we take a look at its hardware specs, its performance benchmarks, and its firmware features.

Final Thoughts
In my opinion I don’t like the choice TV Box hardware. Allwinner has always been problematic and I believe the reason why these sellers are choosing their models is because they are getting it cheap. However this does not benefit the buyer. In this business you must focus on quality hardware as much as you are focusing on the live TV service you are providing. My advice to any seller looking to run their service choose an Amlogic S905X4 or one of the latest Rockchip models such as the RK3568.
