In this day and age, it can be pretty challenging trying to figure out just which particular way you would want to be entertained, whether at home or when you are on the move. For instance, you would most probably have a tablet for you to play your mobile games, while a smartphone is there to keep you entertained while you are waiting for the queue at the local restaurant. Apart from that, how about when you are at home in the living room? The latest generation game console beckons, while there are tons of shows on TV that you would not know which show to watch any more. Satechi has yet another offer for the masses, which is the Satechi Smart TV Box.
Just what does the Smart TV box bring to the table? Well, you can more or less say that this is the ideal solution for those who want to stream digital media onto their TV sets. Running on the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system, this Smart TV Box will be able to let you download apps from the Google Play Store directly, in addition to streaming movies, playing your favorite tunes, and access games among others, all directly on your HDTV for endless hours of entertainment.
The Smart TV Box would find it a snap to hook up to the Internet using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, and not only that, it will also boast full support for XBMC. XBMC happens to be a media management app that will allow one to stream live TV, watch movies and videos, as well as access local storage. Other hardware specifications of the Smart TV Box include a powerful 1.8Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a GPU quad-core Mali-400MP4 graphics card.
Other accessories thrown into this $109.99 purchase include a remote, HDMI cable and 5V 2A power supply. You can also opt to plug in a Bluetooth adapter to use a wireless keyboard and mouse with this puppy.
