First off I'll say hi to everyone here as I'm new to this forum.

I 'm waning to get a T8-V Ebox and I have never had anything to do with an Android box period never even seen one run,I understand most of the functions such as it is made for streaming and stuff like that.

What I want to do is stream some stuff but also the TV shows I like I want to keep a copy of them,is it possible to use the T8-V as a PVR and can I choose what format it will save the video in as well,my other reason for wanting a T8-V is I like how you can just install a harddrive.

I seen from reading a bit of stuff that the Adroid box's can be used as a PVR if you use special software,one article I read said you needed to purchase software and someone said you need to download something that's free for Kodi.

Also what are the T8-V Eboxs like are they stable and made fairly well,from what I have read they from reviews they seem to be alright but I have not had the chance to read anything on them in the forums.

Here is a link to the box I want.

As in, to record live TV off-the-air, from a TV antenna, cable or satellite? No, it won't do that. Anything for this comes from the internet, or stored on drives that you plug into it.

I've not seen this particular one before. But it looks like yet another no-name Android box from an unknown Chinese manufacturer, and so the quality and reliability can vary, some are better than others. It looks like a London, UK importer, rather than shipping them directly from Hong Kong. As long as they have a good support, warranty and returns, it should be OK.

They do have comprehensive tutorials, about them, Kodi, etc.
