The Jetstream Android TV Box has an overall nice interface and layout, which you will see as you start adding channels and Apps. The screen is fully customizable allowing you to add your favorite channels so they are right there when you want to watch them. By default, the most popular streaming apps are already available including Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Sling, ESPN, and more. I did notice a very notable app missing from the Play Store though, which is the Amazon Prime app. I’m more of a Netflix person, but my wife likes her prime. For those of you who watch Prime Video a lot, that’s something to keep in mind if you are interested in purchasing this device.

The main channel icon is to the left with featured or recommended content displayed to the right of your screen. You can easily browse a screenshot of a Netflix program or Tubi program, make a selection and start watching it seamlessly through the main screen. This cuts down the need to navigate to the main App Icon and browse through the large index of content to find a program you want to watch.

Performance-Wise

Performance-wise the Jetstream 4k Ultra HD works as well as I hoped it would. Everything looks crisp, sharp, and vibrant. The remote is great and responds very well. It is a much-improved version over the past remotes we have had to use. My six-year-old daughter figured out how to use the remote in a day.  I was able to hop back and forth from app- to-app with no lag or freezing.

 

What is the best 4k Android box?

JetstreamIn my opinion, nothing comes close to the Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box. The overall experience and quality of the Jetstream Android TV Box have left me speechless. It truly is an amazing TV Android Box, that I am sure will be hard to beat! I actually prefer it over my Roku Ultra. And you can’t go wrong with the affordable price.

In fact, it is so popular good luck finding one in Canada that isn’t on backorder. After seeing mine my aunt now wants her own Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box. We went to countless Canadian websites and none of the sites have any in stock.

If you live in the US you can find the Jetstream Android TV Box via Walmart.
