TV viewing all WRAPPED UP

Get your binge watching fix with an Android TV box, writes Marchelle Abrahams

-

WITH data becoming more affordable and uncapped broadband now a necessity instead of a luxury, South Africans are looking to other alternativ­es to get their binge TV fix.

Traditiona­l TV viewing is fast going through a transition of sorts, and it seems that we are happily jumping on the bandwagon.

Introducin­g the Android TV box. It’s a nifty little set-top box that turns your TV into a smart TV, and has features to stream some of your favourite shows.

If you’re in the market for pumping up your home entertainm­ent system, Android TV boxes are an inexpensiv­e and hassle-free option.

Android Authority’s Hadlee Simons has a few suggestion­s of what is available to SA consumers.

But before you get started, you’ll need:

HD TV, that doesn’t have to be smart. Power source. Uncapped data or Wifi, preferable 4Mbps uncapped stable line, or

10 Mbps uncapped for families.
