Shipping/Price: Both price and shipping were reasonable given the device specs

Device: Beautiful electronic display, slick/shiny model and overall cosmetically pleasing

Remote: It is a generic remote, just the buttons you need nothing fancy, big buttons for the people like me with big fingers so i like that.

First Use: After I plugged it in it took a like while but then the 2 windows are there so just click the 8 button on the remote... 7 times and loaded all the goodies.

APPs: Kodi, Google Play, Youtube, MyTV (IPTV program), Settings, Browser and All Apps - are the windows on the main screen

IPTV: Easy to install servers and rapid change of servers makes this instantly one of my current favorites. If you like MAG devices you will love the performance of this emulator

Kodi: I was able to easly able to update the Kodi to 17.4, Kodi works fast only issue was the back button while inside some video addons kicks you to the main screen so you have to scroll up and click on the ---- to go back but overall very good

Bottom Line: This device performs on both picture quality 4K, audio and applications just as good as my high end devices. I had it for a month so I'm still playing around with it, it was a good investment regarding the specs and for me the ability to use the latest kodi version and related apps. Tested it on a LG 4K using youtube and again the picture quality was amazing. Sound pass thru to my 5.1 surround system worked great. The IPTV part is easy, which is just how i like it. No need to load and emulators and hassles just type your info and connect.

PVR feature I have not tested but it looks like the programers of Global Media Box made this feature a priority so i'm looking forward to using it. A couple of things that they can improve is the loud "Global Media logo" entrance upon turning the box on, and the one I mentioned under Kodi. Looking forward towards their updates.

Overall: This device performs better than average boxes and equals pricier boxes features and abilities, easy to navigate and currently one of my top two performers of 2017 for my IPTV/Kodi needs.
