DS-GO Player works best on TVs with Android TV / Google TV and Amazon Fire TV. If you already have one of these TVs, you don’t need a separate box: just install the DS-GO TV Player app. Learn how

If your TV is Samsung (Tizen) or LG (webOS), the simplest and most affordable option is to use an Android TV box.

Quick pick (if you don’t want to dive into details)

• Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen) — the most straightforward and stable choice for cafés/bars.
• Chromecast with Google TV (4K) — compact and fast (from Google).
• Fire TV Stick 4K — a mini stick for Amazon Fire TV.
• Mi TV Stick 4K — the smallest form factor.
  

*Any 4K version is usually more powerful and stable (more memory/faster chip) — useful even if you only show 1080p.

What to check before you buy

• System: Android TV / Google TV or Fire OS.
• Android version: 9 or higher.
• Memory: 2 GB RAM or more (4 GB is even better).
• Internet: Ethernet preferred; on Wi-Fi — 5 GHz.
• Connectivity: your TV should have HDMI.
  

!Avoid no-name “grey market” boxes with old Android — they are often unstable.
