It'll be with me tomorrow (was meant to be today but nobody was home to sign for it while I was at work) so I'll give my thoughts on the box in comparison with Kodi then.
I love the MAG 254.
Very user friendly and as I expected, very easy to set up! much easier than faffing about with Kodi settings. Really like having an actual remote too as opposed to my Amazon Fire TV remote, which also suits my family better.
Would highly recommend if anybody is even considering it.
Compare kodi and mag254 well i have struggled with kodi addon for since start. My connection is good but would start buffering jittering restart ok for 1hr so after few months i pulled trigger and it has been running non stop for days. Paid donation money well spent.
OK so it must be my rocket service that makes mine crap, ok all the internet resetting, plugging and unplugging, the best feature for it would be to have an automatic iptv reset.
