So my dad went to the Washington State Fair (should be the Puyallup but that's a different topic) and bought a Stream Daddy cable streaming box and wanted to know if I wanted one. The thing is, I can't find any reviews and this thing is expensive. From what I've read, these Android streaming boxes should go for $50-$100. Does anyone have any info on this particular box?

You're paying for someone to set it up. If you are fairly computer literate you can do it yourself. | |||

Their website is showing $600! That's insane. I'd rather buy an Apple TV or Roku for far less.

Yeah that's ~$500 too high. I have the same system on my phone and a raspberry pi. It's easy to install if you have a couple hrs free. At worst. The box itself is sorta important. Getting Kodi setup with the right repositories is key | |||

Isn't that the same as a firestick for TV? I picked one up for something like 69 bucks. Downloaded the downloader , installed Kodi and did a Google search for the most popular installation package for all the apps. More & more SIG's and a bunch of Smith & Wesson revolvers | |||

I bought a different brand several years ago. Setting up KODI and the repositories was a hot mess. Streams were not reliable. Not worth the trouble was what I finally decided. Good luck.

Yeah something doesn't feel right about this deal. I'm going to go with a solid no. I'd rather spend $150 on an Apple TV than $300 on something I'm not 100% with.

I have one of the M8S boxes (media server running Android). I never use it any more, favoring the FireTV for pay media streams, and OpenElec-installed Raspberry Pi for my personal media files. I'd go with the Pi if I could only have one even though the Fire can run Kodi (with some rootish hacks). | |||

If anyone claims you can buy a box and stream pay stations for free on it, they're talking about in at least moral terms, pirated content. Edit to add: It looks like Stream Daddy has also ripped off their logo. I could be wrong about their boxes and their logo, but it looks fishy to me.   | |||
