I have one of pic related. It's starting to act up a bit now and was wondering if there is something better/similar for streaming movies, shows, channels etc. for a very small price. I have a chromecast and laptop but I prefer using a remote when using the tv, Thanks.

I prefer it being so instant. I still download, but use the android box more often as I may think of something to watch and not want to wait as my internet isn't super fast.

Install a media center program on your laptop.Checkout XBMC and media portal. These programs have plugins for streaming and you can watch local content.

Buy a remote control for your laptop. These come with a infrared USB sensor. ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Windows-Control-Infrared-Receiver-Ultimate/dp/B003ZV3J72/)

Plug your laptop into your TV.

Sorted?

If you're only using it for Kodi than just get a Raspberry Pi 2 and put Openelec on it. Amazon sells whole kits for this.

If you do use android apps on your box than get one of the newer quad core android boxes.Go to freaktab.com for info.

I was thinking of buying a $70+ box but I just connected my pc to my TV and I'm using my phone as my controller using the Kore app, it took less than a minute to set up the app too.
