Android TV box is a new type of streaming device that replaces the DVB box. As long as there is internet access, customers can turn their ordinary TVs into smart TVs and freely access streaming software such as Youtube, just like using a cell phone.
Currently, there are three main types of Android TV boxes on the market.

Many ATV Boxes with limited memory, like 1G+8G, 2G+8G, 2G+16G, only few models support 4G+32G. Larger memory, higher price.
