Thomson Streaming Box 240UK, 4K UHD, Google TV, Google Cast, Google Voice Control, Wifi, Bluetooth, Dolby Atmos, HDR10

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 would say that this is a nicer platform than the other extremely famous stick out there, but the other stick is definitely more stable and I guess easier to navigate. I like the home screen on this one and the functionality of it but what I really dont like is that very often the remote requires to be paired with the stick. Almost every 2 weeks I need to delete and pair again, no idea why but that's just how it is. Other than that its a good stick with decent in built memory for the money. I would say it doesn't beat the other stick bit its a close 2nd place, I will persevere with this and see if any upcoming software updates fix the pairing issue.

Excellent bit of kit. I own many other brands of streaming sticks, and I am genuinely impressed with this. I bought it to turn a dumb tv in the conservatory into something a bit smarter. It's not a TV I use often so I didn't want to spend big money on a streaming device. I settled for this with low expectations and have been pleasantly impressed. The system is snappy, quick and responsive. Having voice controls built into the remote is excellent. Google TV is pretty good as well and has all the apps you would expect. The only app missing was the iPlayer. I was able to side load that in a few minutes, and it works fine. Easy to do. The biggest win for my kids was the fact that they can cast from a Meta Quest 2 straight to the Thomson stick and it's completely smooth and lag free. The downside for me is that they now want me to watch them play VR games all the time. Anyway, I was so impressed with the quality of this product and how well it works that I have now been eyeying up Thomson TV's!

240UK/240G is a solid streaming box that, if you're not looking for much, you'll make this device work. It's easy to set up either through your phone or on the box; the app selection is what you get. However, having to sideload the likes of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and Channel 4 onto this device could be a pain if you want to click and go from the start, so since I can't give half stars, I've knocked it down to 4.
