Hello folks, does anyone know if there is a shop in Torrevieja that stocks a reasonable range of Android TV boxes.

I am aware of powerplanet in Totana and the usual mediamarkt etc.

They are really cheap and fast from Amazon. Most important is an adequate data connection.

Killjoy, thanks for the info, we are back in UK at end of May so will probably wait and buy from Amazon UK though they seem more expensive in UK.

Are you after just the box or are you looking for a loaded box?

I can't answer your original question, but I can offer that a Chromecast with a Nord VPN subscription will enable you to watch BBC, ITV, All4 and my5 including live TV streaming, plus Netflix, Disney+, Prime and NowTV if you have any of those subscriptions.

One or two apps aren't available via the Chromecast, but you can sideload any app designed for Android phones.

It's a cheap way to get what we need when we're abroad. Have used a mobile hotspot when WiFi is poor too with good success (unlimited data).

Hi, thanks for that, the Chromecast is an option I never thought about.
