Most boxes come pre-configured with apps that offer the best Live TV services where you can stream news, live sports and other entertaining content. I recommend you use KODI to watch live television on your TV box or Navixsport+. For more premium content, i recommend Netflix, this app is usually installed by default on most boxes. For an affordable fee you can, stream lots of movies, TV shows and more. The YouTube app is also installed by default.

ANDROID TV BOX DATA USAGE

Video Streaming on Android TV boxes can consume lots of data and sadly affordable data plans are scarce in Nigeria. Fortunately, it is possible to reduce your data usage by adjusting the video quality.

Below are the common video qualities to choose from and thier data usage;
