THOMSON Streaming Box Plus 270 White, Google TV, 4K UHD, Built-in Speaker for Hands Free Voice, Google Cast, Netflix, Disney+, Wi Fi, Multi Plug Power Adapter, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage

Definitely a good and cheaper alternative to the nvidia shield tv. All apps downloaded as expected and works smoothly with no glitches. I highly recommend. (I bought the 240UK). My second purchase was the 270UK with a 3GB ram. The 240UK is 2GB ram, so the 270UK is much smoother, faster and less laggy, for the price difference, if you want better quality and fast results, (dare I say its 1:1 with the Nvidia shield tv) go for the 270UK

A brilliant streaming box- it's very easy to set up and downloading apps is simple to do! It runs very smoothly. I think is just as good as a firestick!

A well made product, Not that easy to set up, but none of them are. Once done however, this streamer works well. The remote is the star, well made, smaller, less complicated and more positive than most. Excellent picture and sound. An on-off switch on the stick or plug would enhance this product.

The best purchase yet. Unbelievably well-made high quality android streaming box. It's worth every penny! Bought a like-new item that was actually brand new. The remote is amazing and feels very heavy and well made and works even though my TV cabinet door is closed. To date I feel this is the best purchase yet! The Google box connected immediately to my phone. It was easy to add new apps to the existing ones. I can't find a single flaw. It make streaming enjoyable. It's definitely worth the higher price. I had searched through all reviews and honestly I cannot find a bad thing to say about this product.

Looks good, easy to set up , , connected up straight away to the wifi, can also be eternet connected. All apps are available for this as well. You are not limited to what Amazon want you to download only. Compared to a Firestick , this thing is like lightning speed. The remote actually feels like its got a bit of quality about it and did not fall out of a christmas cracker like the fire stick one. Shows what can be done when Amazon Prime are not trying to take over your life and the things you own.

I bought the Thomson streaming box 270UK Plus from StreamView, which took 3 weeks to arrive. Straight away I knew it was a returned item. The seal on the underside of the box had been opened. Also, there was a ripped lable on the underside of the box where they removed the other persons details. After spending a couple of hours setting it up. I turned it off and noticed that the display lights stayed on. I looked into the settings but couldn't find anything relating to the display lights. I turned it off again and the display lights turned off. I thought I somehow fixed the problem, but when I turned it back on again there were no display lights. So basically if I switched inputs, there was no way of knowing if the box was on or off. I got in contact with customer service and they told me to remove the power lead for 60 seconds then reconnect. I did that, then the lights were permanently on even after turning the unit off. (I've attached videos). I eventually tried to reset to factory settings but the reset button on the back only unpaired the remote control. Consequently I returned the faulty unit back to StreamView. I was thinking of selling it because they are going for £90 on ebay, but unlike StreamView I wouldn't knowingly sell a faulty product. This is the second time I've bought a Thomson unit and this is the second time I've had to return. I bought the streaming stick 140UK back in May and had to return it because of how slow it was compared to the firestick. I will stick with the firestick for now as I've had no issues with it, but I won't be buying another Thomson device.

I have only had this a few days and I love it, pretty straightforward setting up, and you can load plenty of apps you like, I also added a VPN no problem. Its user friendly, great for replacing most devices and it's Google, with a great playstore, still playing with this but so easy, I would highly recommend this product, as far as I am concerned a must have tv gadget, fantastic, it also has a usb port for more memory/photos/all sorts, as I say it's brilliant so far.

This really is a good product but it doesn't support BBC iplayer which can be sideloaded but the itvx app cannot be sideloaded. I have contacted thompson and they have no plans to upgrade the device.
