Just a note to let you know that most of us love our android tv boxes! Some of you will find it overly frustrating and this (or any) tv box may not be for you...
What is the Android XBMC/Kodi tv box?
"The XBMC/Kodi Android: streams music, movies and tv from all over the world and all you need is high speed internet."
"It removes the veil of world wide television"
"It's a freedom project that allows you to watch movies, television shows and news from all over the world, mainstream and forgotten on the major tv networks."
"A small computer box that connects to your internet and your tv with it's own remote controller."

Program NOTES FAQ:
Addons are subject to failure!
And addon make work well for a few months or a year or more and then stops working properly; This means a programmer has stopped his work on this add-on for one reason or another: Most of the time tech user(s) will usually take over one of these projects and create a new "fork", but this means, you may physically need to update an add-on. (At our web site, we will provide users updates as long as we can, however... This Android tv box can be completely customized by you, if you take the time to research the installation process; you can make a perfectly running Kodi device without this website.)
Genesis addon; (the favourite of many) programmers have announced they will no longer be working on newer versions. It is strongly advised (from some websites) that you do not rely on it to continue: there is some update problems on XBMC. If Genesis is not updating new tv shows or movies properly, you may need to try another addon at this point. You can also do a manual update. Will update if any more news becomes available for Genesis.
If addons are not updating with the newest versions of shows or movies; there is a corruption in the install. Unless you cannot view any movies at all; then your internet connection may require fixing.
When setting language and region from Youtube; You should choose "Worldwide" for region so that youtube will be less likely to block your choices.
24 hour television is available on Veetle The Giddy Up Network, Ccloud and a few others (please experiment): Note; some of these streams tend to go down... a few streams will crash the system, no matter what system you are running (Android or other). The trick is not to select it again. The good news is that not many will do this. Unless you are having a really bad day.
Film Noir: is very available to watch! So is rare and old movies! (yes the good stuff)
International Radio and Music is very readily available.
Streaming live tv cannot be paused, rewound or fast forwarded, because it is picking up the live stream.
Sports streams are very supported then dropped from time to time. Currently there is a large assorment of live sports streams available... NHL has gone through some major drops, but seem to be currently working well.
In the end that the android tv box is "way more" than just pick anything you want to watch; but on occasion, you may need to struggle for it to work...
