    I use a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B for streaming movies/TV, fine for 1080p, 4K probably wouldn't be suitable. It all depends on your requirements really.

      Thanks; my requirements are no or little buffering on HD IPTV,and to browse the web,but the question is , to dispute these guys on a good buffering tv box,? it's a littler weird that a TV box with 1GB Ram has better Buffering then a 3GBRam? also if there ios such a thing as a good buffering TV streaming box ?either it buffers or not,i thing these guys trying to sell these Formuler and Mag tv boxes,the way i see it no tv box with only 1GBN ram could be better then a 3 gb ram tv box.

        With the Pi2 I just use Kodi to stream video, I don't do any browsing on it, I don't suppose it would be the best experience if I did. But for video streaming, it's just fine.

        If you're going to be browsing the web often a device with more RAM will be snappier and probably better suited for your needs. As for buffering there is probably some logic there, an Android box won't have much free RAM once the OS is loaded, so it has less RAM to buffer into, where as a 3GB box has more head room. That said, I think they are probably over playing it

          But my box has 32GB storage,and it's not full,i still have 23GB free and once in awhile clean cache on all APPS,besides i use my INTEL 5 quad core pc 6 GB ram,500GB storage and i use VLC to stream PTV or Kodi and i check and if it buffers on My android powerful TV box also buffers on PC, and my Speed is 120MBPS 12 MS Ping most the time,so it has to be on the IPTV providers side,although they always try to blame it on us end users hardware/software/internet set up,besides a good buffering tv box my ass,that's fools talk,there is no such a thing.this the talk of someone that wants to sell their fully-loaded tv boxes.
