In what can only be described as a very odd coincidence, my old Nexus 7 tab looks like its about to breathe its last (battery is fucked, mad money to replace and now the screen is going unresponsive) and just now the little Android box I use as a Kodi streamer in the living room has died (leds went flickery, remote wouldn't work and now it just won't reboot at all - seems properly kaput).
So I need some recommendations:
1. Replacement tab. I don't want Apple (too much file faff) but I need something with 4G support, and I'm happy with 7-8" size mainly for reading and some video. Amazon is full of Chinese tat with the odd Samsung thrown in, and I've never been that keen on Samsung because they won't upgrade fast, or at all (best thing about the Nexus).
2. Replacement kodi box. I could probably just get another Chinese box I suppose. Fire TV not that useful in Ireland, Apple TV no good for Kodi (ditto Roku). Anything else worth looking at? I don't want to spend PC money. nVidia Shield any good?
All recommendations gratefully received.
