Now that most people are staying at home more than ever, it is important to keep the mind occupied to prevent boredom and anxiety. Many are turning to movies and television shows to entertain themselves during their idle periods. It’s fortunate that we don’t need to go out to the cinemas just to watch the latest shows. We can just sit on the couch and turn on the television to see the talk of the town. You can take this a step further by hooking up the TV to an Android box.
Shows On-Demand
This box can fetch content from the Internet including the shows that are exclusive to streaming sites. If you are subscribed to these services, then use the device to watch the titles in their libraries whenever you want. Unlike networks, they have no broadcast schedules. You can see the shows on your list on-demand. They are available 24/7 so do a marathon for an entire season on a weekend or finish all of the movies under a franchise in a day. You are never tied to a clock.
Apps for Anything
These boxes are not one-trick ponies. They are versatile devices that can do so much more depending on the apps that are installed on them. For example, you can add an alarm clock that turns the TV screen into a huge digital timepiece and reminds you of daily tasks. You can stream music, podcasts, and audio books so that you have something to listen to while taking a break from work or completing your exercise routines. You could also get weather apps that provide localized information including temperature, chances of rain, humidity, and so on.
Browse with the Family
Many of these boxes contain browsers for surfing the net. You can also install your preferred browser, social media app, and so on to stay connected with the world. You can look up information such as new recipes that you can try for an upcoming birthday or anniversary. You might want to check out the results of sports matches that happened while you were working. You could monitor the ups and downs of the stock market.
Instant Gaming Console
A lot of these Android box can run games that look amazing on a big screen. If you want to experience first-person shooters, car races, or even casual games on a large display, then it’s a great tool to make it happen. These are far more affordable than the popular standalone consoles so it’s worth a try.
