Budget android tv boxes for Australian lounge rooms

A cheap android tv box is the quickest way to make an older TV useful again: Netflix, Stan, Binge, Disney+, YouTube and the free catch-up apps in one place. This group is the entry level, ranked by recent AliExpress orders on listings that ship to Australia, with prices in A$.

Cheap does not mean careless. Check the plug (Australia uses the Type I plug at 230V), read recent buyer comments about Netflix quality and Wi-Fi, and compare memory and storage before you pick the lowest price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best cheap android tv box in Australia?

There is no single winner. Look for at least 2GB of RAM, a current Android version, dual-band Wi-Fi and recent reviews that mention Netflix and Stan working properly. The most ordered listings below are a good starting shortlist.

Is a budget android tv box good enough for 4K?

Most can play 4K video from streaming apps, but real results depend on the chip, your Wi-Fi and your TV. A 4K box does nothing for a 1080p TV, so match the box to your screen.
