ABOUT ANDROID TV BOX:
Android box is a set top box which can actually change your old CRT TV or non smart LED TV into a smart TV [NOTE: your TV must have HDMI port]. Hence, you can download OTT apps like Hotstar, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. via play store or other app store. From past two years, we have ditched cable TV and have shifted towards android box due to its increased rates. In this blog, we are going to clear some of your doubts about it.
Android box is a kind of a set-top box which instead of dish or cable TV runs on android platform. You can use it to watch YouTube, web series, movies, even live TV on this OTT platform. But you will always need an active WiFi connection for the best results. Also you can use mobile data through hotspot for streaming content. You can even game on this device (which I don't recommend you doing). Play store and other app store provides you with a lot of entertainment apps which you can download and stream. You can even side load apps from browsers or can be sent through your smartphones via pendrives. You can even cast your content from your smartphone to your TV.
(If you want to use OTT apps then you have to subscribe them separately).
FOR WHOM IS THIS TARGETED AT?
This is optimum for those who don't have a smart TV but have old or non smart TVs. You don't have to spend a lot buying a new television, instead you could just attach one of the android boxes to your TV through HDMI cable (which will be available with the box).

IS IT REALLY AN ALTERNATIVE?
Android TV box is a portable and easy-to-install device unlike cable and dish. But it really depends upon you whether you only need to watch channels or binge i.e. OTT content. Some of the channels are also available on these OTT platforms but it depends on you.
MarQ Turbostream, Airtel Xstream stick, Mi box 4k, Amazon Fire stick etc are some of the officially available android TV boxes in India. These are currently available on Amazon and flipkart.
Hope you got an idea on this topic,
Thank you.
