Buy it at GearBest - http://lon.tv/z9ow5 (affiliate link) - I was looking for a cheap Android box that might work well with my HDHomerun / Plex DVR set up. This one seems to do the trick!

Plex is hindered slightly by the fact the box is appearing as a tablet device to Plex but it's otherwise usable. HDHomerun works perfectly for a $32 device - much better than the Amazon Fire Stick which lacks a deinterlacer. Video quality is perhaps slightly behind what we saw out of the raspberry pi but it's good enough for a secondary television. The nice thing with this configuration is that it's fully functional with a remote for $32 - the Pi requires additional purchases to get functional. That said because the box lacks AC wireless this may not be ideal for over the air broadcasts. I recommend using ethernet for the best experience.
