Why an android box.

[sossybaby]

Hello. I have a Panasonic Viera 50" plasma tv, which i've owned for 10 years. It serves me well and gives a good picture so see no reason to upgrade.
I presume most of you are using smart tv's so why pay for an android box. I mean, why not download the media player from the play store and watch iptv directly, or am i missing something here.

Apps tend to run better on a decent dedicated device.
Also android devices are easier to sideload 3rd party apps that aren’t available on the tv App Store.
Not everyone wants a TV that runs android OS.

Youll find running Android apps on a TV sluggish compared to running them on a decent spec Android box.
