Exploring the DIGIBox TV Box: The Smart, Cool Android TV Box for Modern Entertainment
In today's blog, I'm going to be looking at this Android TV box from a company called DIGIBox. They've seen my channel on YouTube and generously decided to send me this unit for review. So with this review, I'm not going to be holding back. If there's anything I like, I'm going to tell you, and if there's anything I don't like, I'm going to tell you.
As you can see, it comes with the standard specs of any Android TV box out there. You've got Android 12, Wi-Fi 6, 6K HDI support, and notably, 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage.
So without further ado, let's take a look inside the box. The first thing we see is, of course, the DIGIBox itself. It's your usual little black box with nice DIGIBox branding in silver on top. There's an LCD up front, which is a tad smaller than I'm used to, but as long as all the information is clear, it's fine. On the side, we've got our main connectivity ports: an SD card reader and four USB ports where you can connect extra storage or peripherals.
On the bottom, we've got some rubber feet and venting holes. At the back, we have fold-out aerials, which is a pretty standard design in these TV boxes. Port-wise on the back, we've got our IR in, AV in, Ethernet connection, HDMI in, audio out, and power in. Overall, it's a pretty sturdy design even if it is just made out of plastic. I suppose it keeps the weight and costs down.
So what else is in the box? Let's take a look. First up, it's our HDMI cable. Next, we've got our power brick; it's our usual interface, 5 volts at two amps. We've got a compact remote control with all the functions we need: power, volume, channels, settings, a d-pad, an okay button, a microphone for an AI assistant, and the home button. Batteries-wise, we're rocking two AAAs, which is standard these days. Lastly, we get a quick start guide, which is short and to the point. These TV boxes are foolproof; you can't go wrong. It's just plug-and-play.
So, guys, this is all you get in the box. Next, we're going to power up the DIGIBox and have a look around the home screen. The first thing we are presented with is a screen to pair the remote with the DIGI TV Box. It's quite straightforward; hold the two buttons shown simultaneously, and it should pair automatically. You'll get the following screen pop-up; click on next, and you'll get the language selection screen. I'm going to choose American English and then just click on next. It would be best if you got the network selection screen. Here you can plug in an Ethernet cable or select your Wi-Fi network and put in your password.
I've skipped forward to connecting to my network now, and that's it, guys; we're on the home screen. It's a fairly familiar affair with all these TV boxes. To one side, you've got your date and time and a little DIGIBox thumbnail. Top right, we've got some buttons: a Contact Us option for quick help, an internet speed check for any lag issues, and a quick help guide. This self-help guide is built into the DIGIBox; just click on the issues affecting you, and it will guide you through to a solution.
Next, we have a self-starting management option that lets you set up apps that start-up on bootup. There's a quick launch feature that lets you map the red and yellow buttons to apps for quick access. The Bluetooth setup option allows you to add headphones, speakers, and other Bluetooth devices. The memory cleaner helps clean out apps running in the background and any junk files if you're experiencing lag. There are also Wi-Fi settings and an option to download the mobile remote app, allowing you to operate the DIGIBox from your cell phone—a handy feature if you lose the remote. Lastly, there's the more settings icon where you can change the wallpaper, set it to rotate, and access regular Android settings.
Let's quickly scroll down to device preferences and about, where you can see we've got Android TV OS version 12, a custom DIGIBox version. There's also an adjuster screen app for picture adjustment, an option to mirror cast the screen onto a remote device, change the system time, and uninstall apps. There's an option to reset the TV box to factory defaults, update the system, and a shortcut to the file manager.
Back on the home screen, you can access your favorite apps and add more by clicking on an empty thumbnail. Scrolling down gives you even more room to store apps. In the apps folder, you'll find pre-installed apps like the device's app store, Google Play Store, Netflix, and YouTube. You can download more apps from the DIGIBox App Store.
The first thing I'm going to show you is the streaming capabilities of the DIGIBox. On YouTube, videos start with no stuttering or lagging. The picture is sharp and clear. Browsing in Chrome is smooth; clicking the mouse toggle button on your remote makes it easier to navigate.
The DIGIBox US comes with three great features: live TV, video on demand, and Playback TV. Live TV streams are sharp and stutter-free. Pressing okay on the remote shows information about the current program, and pressing left on the d-pad brings up the EPG guide. You can scroll through categories and countries, and there's a search option. You can also add channels to your favorites.
Video on demand is similar to other TV boxes, with categories like recommended, movies, series, and anime. You can search for content and add it to your favorites for later. If it's a TV series, you can select the episode you want to watch.
Lastly, the backup app offers a selection of sports channels with recorded content so you can watch previous events at your leisure.
All in all, a pretty impressive package from DIGIBox. It's another option for consumers, and competition keeps the marketplace fresh and up-to-date. Shutting down is simple; just press the power button and choose to power down, put the device to sleep, or reboot.
