Equipped with AV1 and VP9 codecs, USB 3.0, Ethernet, and advanced Dune HD media center software, BOXY delivers superior streaming quality and local media playback, making it a savvy choice for tech-forward millennials seeking premium entertainment at a competitive price. ## Description Product description BOXY Android TV 11 Box Streaming Media Player Key Features Unique 2-in-1 combination of Netflix-certified Android TV streaming media player and advanced Dune HD media center Using just this one device, you can both watch Netflix, desertcart Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Max and various other streaming services in maximum quality (up to 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos), and play local library of media files in the most advanced formats (up to ISO 4K Dolby Vision FEL and full disc menu) - via the advanced Dune HD media center software. Official Netflix and Google Android TV 11 certifications The official Netflix, Google and other certifications ensure excellent support for Netflix and other streaming services (such as desertcart Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Max and many others) with best possible audio and video quality (up to 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos). The modern Android TV 11 OS version with the official Google Android TV certification ensures excellent compatibility with all Android TV applications and features, and also gives a very powerful "Chromecast built-in" technology. Dune HD media center In addition to all standard Android TV features, you can also use Dune HD media center software, technically implemented as a concurrently running (in a special virtual container) Linux-based Dune HD OS, and easily accessible via a special app. This software provides functionality similar to standalone Dune HD media players and includes a lot of features which were developed for standalone Dune HD media players during more than 14 years. This includes advanced file browser, advanced file player, full menu support for movie ISO files and disc structures, advanced support for playback of Dolby Vision files, ability to view the local library of video files as a nice-looking Netflix-like catalog, Dune Control mobile app, smart home integrations, and many other features. Newest technologies (AV1, Dolby Vision & Atmos) This media player includes a lot of newest technologies: AV1 video codec, VP9 profile 2 video codec, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Dolby MAT. Many other media players do not have some or all of these technologies. Rich connectivity (Ethernet, USB 3.0) Contrary to simpler devices (such as simple "dongles"), this media player provides much more connectivity options. Besides of the usual HDMI, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interfaces, this media player has also Ethernet port, two USB ports (USB 3.0 and USB 2.0), micro SD card slot, S/PDIF output port and A/V output port. Hardware and Technologies S905X4-J media processor (special version with all Dolby licenses) S905X4-J media processor is an advanced version of the latest media processor from Amlogic which includes all Dolby technologies and licenses: Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Many other media players based on S905X4 use a stripped down version without all or some of these licenses. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ The media player supports not only HDR technology (supported by the previous generation of media players), but also the most latest and advanced Dolby Vision and HDR10+ technologies. In conventional HDR technology, the brightness range is set at the beginning of the film and does not change during the film, so completely dark and completely bright scenes may have insufficient detail. In the latest Dolby Vision and HDR10+ technologies, the brightness range can vary from frame to frame, so the maximum picture detail is provided even in scenes that contain only dark or only light elements. Dolby Atmos Dolby Atmos is the most widely used advanced technology for surround sound. Dolby Atmos draws you in deeper, so you hear more and feel more, for a more realistic and immersive audio experience. This media player supports Dolby Atmos sound both when watching streaming services such as Netlix and when playing files from your local library (in formats such as ISO, BDMV, MKV, and so on). Newest Dolby MAT technology This media player includes the newest Dolby technology for multichannel surround sound - Dolby MAT. Using Dolby MAT technology, the media player does not just output the fantastic Dolby Atmos audio to your TV or A/V receiver, but also performs partial decoding of the audio directly on the media player. This improves A/V synchronisation, reduces latency, and improves compatibility. Nowadays this approach for audio output is recommended by Netflix and Google. AV1 video codec The media player supports the very newest AV1 video codec, which helps to get up to 50% video quality improvement without increasing video bitrate (or requires up to 50% lesser bitrate for the same video quality). This new video codec is already used by YouTube and will be increasingly important for various services. YouTube 4K HDR and VP9 profile 2 The media player supports the modern "VP9 profile 2" video codec, which is used by YouTube for HDR content. 2 GB operating memory Ensures excellent performance of Android apps. 16 GB flash memory Provides a lot of space for Android apps and other needs. 2x more than in many other simpler Android TV devices. USB 3.0 host port Allows you to connect USB storage devices (such as flash drive, HDD or SSD) and ensures fast data transfer and smooth playback of high bitrate video. Connected USB storage devices can also be accessed from local network via SMB file server function built-in into Dune HD Media Center. Ethernet port (100Mbit/s) Allows the use of a wired connection to the home network for stable data transfer and video playback. Wi-Fi 802.11ac 2T2R (2.4 + 5 GHz) The built-in dual band 2.4 Ghz + 5 GHz Wi-Fi module supports the modern 802.11ac standard and 2T2R MIMO technology with two antennas for improved wireless performance. Bluetooth The built-in Bluetooth interface allows you to easily connect various remote controls, wireless keyboards, mice, joysticks, audio speakers, headphones, headsets and other devices. Bluetooth remote with microphone and customizable app button The remote controls the media player via Bluetooth (which means you do not need to direct the remote towards the media player and that the media player can be hidden). The built-in microphone enables Voice Search functionality. A special customisable app button can be configured to quickly launch any app. Besides, the remote can use IR channel to control TV and A/V receivers. IR control The media player has the built-in IR receiver and can be controlled also by IR commands (Google IR codes). This means you can use 3-party programmable or learnable remote of your choice to control the media player, or integrate the media player with your smart home via IR. For example, you can integrate the media player with a smart speaker by using an IR emitter device controlled by the smart speaker. Chromecast built-in The media player includes "Chromecast built-in" technology, that lets you stream your favorite entertainment and apps from your phone, tablet or laptop right to your TV. This technology can be used on both Android and iOS devices (via Google Home app) and also on any laptop or a PC (via Chrome web browser). Dune HD Media Center features Dune HD user interace Dune HD user interface, developed during more than 14 years, specially optimized for the use on TV screens, tuned for the best possible usability, makes it easy and convenient to use the media player. It is a convenient, powerful and easy-to-use way to work with your local media library and other features of Dune HD media center. Dune HD movies organizer and movies encyclopedia β€œMy Collection” function organizes a user's movies collection into a nice looking catalog. A comprehensive movies encyclopedia provides the information about hundreds of thousands of movies with detailed descriptions, posters, cross-links between movies and persons, trailers, direct links to online video services, etc. Advanced file browser automatically recognizes movies. Integration between Dune HD media center and Android TV streaming apps Dune HD media center not only coexists with Android TV in one device, but also integrates with Android TV streaming apps to provide conveniences, which would be impossible when using two separate Android TV and media player devices. Widest support for Dolby Vision file formats Dolby Vision is supported for all popular file formats (MKV, MP4, TS, M2TS, ISO, movie folder structure). All popular Dolby Vision profiles (profile 5, profile 7 MEL and FEL, profile 8) are supported. In all cases, the important Dolby Vision information (Dolby Vision RPU metadata) is extracted and transmitted to TV to ensure the proper Dolby Vision picture on the TV. Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL Dune HD media center supports direct playback of Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL double-track and double-layer files. This is the most advanced Dolby Vision format. Dune HD media center plays video in this format using both tracks/layers. The important Dolby Vision information from the second track/layer (Dolby Vision RPU metadata) is transmitted to TV together with video data from the first track/layer. The passed video data uses 10-bit color depth - the maximum color depth supported by OLED-panels in OLED TVs, i.e. this fully uses the capabilities of OLED TVs. Combined with the full use of DolbyVision metadata this gives an excellent Dolby Vision picture on the TV screen. Playback of Dolby Vision movie ISO/folder structures Dune HD media center supports direct playback of movie ISO/folder structures in Dolby Vision format (Dolby Vision profile 7 MEL and FEL), including playback in full menu mode. Movie ISO/folder structure playback Dune HD media center has support for playback of movie ISO/folder structures. A special playback engine provides full menu support and helps to ensure smooth playback of the entire movie w/o any audio/video interruptions even when playing movies with complicated structure. Automatic framerate/resolution switching Dune HD media center can automatically switch output framerate and resolution to match the played content. This helps to ensure absolutely smooth video playback in all cases and use the best way for video resolution upscaling (resolution upscaling by the the media player or by the TV). Dune HD media center implements an advanced approach for video mode switching, which bypasses the limitations of Android TV 11. Flicker-free framerate/resolution switching Dune HD media center implements its own advanced flicker-free approach for automatic framerate and resolution switching, which switches video mode before the start of file playback (rather than after). Many other media players switch video mode after the start of file playback, which causes unpleasant flickering. Dolby and DTS audio Dune HD media center can play Dolby and DTS audio tracks in all formats (up to Dolby TrueHD with Atmos and DTS X). All formats can be output as multi-channel audio (output is in formats up to Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos and DTS). All formats can also be output as stereo (downmix). DSD and other advanced music formats You can play music in various advanced formats, including Super Audio CD (SACD), FLAC, WavPack, APE, ALAC. SACD music files, encoded using the advanced DSD audio codec, are supported in all popular formats (ISO, DFF, DSF) (stereo) including files which use the DST compression. DSD files can be output to HDMI and S/PDIF as stereo PCM. Dune HD Android Playback Accelerator technology This Technology intellectually manages the resources of Android OS to minimize the influence of Android OS on the media playback engine and ensure smooth and high-quality video and audio playback. Dune HD mobile app The Dune HD mobile app (Dune Control) for iOS and Android mobiles devices provides full access to all functions of Dune HD media center in a very convenient and powerful way. It fully replaces the standard remote, allows browsing and choosing the media content directly on your mobile device (the menu shown on the mobile device mirrors the menu shown on the TV screen), and includes Now Playing section for convenient media playback control. Built-in SMB file server Dune HD media center has a built-in SMB file server, which allows access to all connected storage devices (such as USB HDD) and internal memory of the media player from local network. Parental controls Dune HD media center has a built-in parental controls functionality. You can use it to lock access to the entire media player (including all Android TV apps) by a schedule (or example, allow your kid to use the media player only from 14:00 to 16:00 and from 20:00 to 22:00). Dune HD Media Center specifications Video file formats: MKV, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, M2TS, VOB, AVI, MOV, MP4, QT, ASF, WMV, ISO, movie folder structures Dolby Vision playback: Profiles 5, 7 (MEL and FEL), 8; various containers (ISO, movie folder structure, MKV, MP4, M2TS); DTDL (double-track double-layer), STDL (single-track double-layer), STSL (single-track single-layer).

Review: Impressive alternative to more expensive solutions! - This is a very impressive little box at an extremely competitive price. I decided to roll the dice on this Boxy device instead of purchasing much more expensive offerings such as the NVIDIA Shield Pro -- and I am actually very happy with this decision! This device provides support for AV1 and has totally eliminated the streaming quality problems I was having when accessing high quality videos with subtitles from a NAS. It also has built-in support for all the things someone with a local library might need, e.g. smb, upnp, etc. The only down side is you do need a Google account for initial set up, and you will have to make sure to turn off or block Google's telemetry, but this is the case with many devices these days. There is also a bit of set up involved, so it does help to be technically savvy, but there are very easy to follow instructions included as well. If you're looking for a more modern alternative to higher priced solutions, I think this one is totally worth it, even with the required time and patience for set up. Review: A very nice Android TV box. I'll need another..... - I already had a Dune Homatics 4k Plus stream box, and when my non tech savvy friend wanted to cut the cable and get into streaming TV, I set this one up in her house.

It wouldn't have taken that long, but she have a lot of questions. Great looking interface, just like my Homatics, smooth and easy.

I'll need another..... *by S***E on April 11, 2026* I already had a Dune Homatics 4k Plus stream box, and when my non tech savvy friend wanted to cut the cable and get into streaming TV, I set this one up in her house. Nice and easy - good utility to import all setup from your Google account, and then I set up all her favorite stuff in less than 30 minutes. It wouldn't have taken that long, but she have a lot of questions. Great looking interface, just like my Homatics, smooth and easy. I'm getting another one of these for another TV..... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Audio Streamer *by F***8 on January 10, 2026* Of course it streams video, but I also chose this item for remote audio playback without using HDMI. There is a S/PDIF output which I can attach to a DAC or receiver with digital input. I use my tablet/phone app as a control point (browse, remote), and choose the Boxy as either a Chromecast or UPnP media renderer. I store my media on a separate server, but this Boxy has USB 3 and micro SD card support for local storage. Now, one can also stream audio via the USB 2/3 port to a DAC, but in this case, every time the power is disconnected the prior audio level gets reset to a very low level. Chromecast audio casting via Android google Home doesn't always work well for me. However, apps like VLC for Android or NPR news have their own cast functionality which works fine. For UPnP playback, I have the Yatse app on my tablet as the remote, and KODI running on the Boxy when it starts. No need to turn on the TV. As a third option, I am using Lyrion Music Server, for those of you who remember the Logitech Squeezebox. I have the media files and server running on my router, the Squeezer app is the remote on my tablet, and the Squeezelite app runs on the Boxy at startup. I decided to permanently change the Android launcher to FLauncher β€” ChatGPT can provide instructions using adb. The UI runs smoothly, I have no issues with the performance. The software supports the efficient AV1 video codec, popular for YouTube and Netflix. The remote control could be better quality. I like the buttons and D-pad on the Roku Ultra remote better. Dune HD Media Center is included. This could be useful for those who want to play high quality local/NAS media files. For many, I think the lower cost Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen is a better video player than this Boxy. The Xiami has a better processor Amlogic S905X5M, 6 nm (v. S905X4-J, 12 nm) at a high clock speed 2.5 GHz (v. 2.0 GHz), a better GPU Mali-G310 V2 (v. Mali-G31 MP2), Wi-Fi 6, Google TV on Android TV 14 (v. Android TV 11). The advantages of the Boxy are: USB 3 + USB 2 + micro SD slot, LAN port, S/PDIF output. I have the older Xiaomi Mi Box 4, and it works fine for my needs. That model has S/PDIF output, while the newest Xiaomi S does not. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOXY Android TV Box, Streaming Media Player 4K, Dune HD Media Center, Mini PC, AV1, USB 3.0, Ethernet, MKV/ISO DV P7 FEL AFR, HDR10+, DTS, Netflix in 4K Dolby Vision & Atmos, Voice - NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player; 4K HDR movies, live sports, Dolby Vision-Atmos, AI-enhanced upscaling, GeForce NOW cloud gaming, Google Assistant Built-In, Works with Alexa - Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K Ultra HD Streaming Device, Android TV 11 with Google Assistant Voice Remote Control Streaming Media Player, Chromecast Built-in, 2GB 8GB HDR/AV1/2.4G/5G WiFi/BT 5.2, 2022 Latest --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/540092652-boxy-android-tv-box-streaming-media-player-4k-dune-hd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/540092652-boxy-android-tv-box-streaming-media-player-4k-dune-hd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
