RCA DBA936 streaming media box My review



I just got this unit and here is what I can tell so far:

There are only two sites right now that reference the RCA unit, this thread and one in French as a comment in an non-specific forum with a guy saying his unit doesn't work.



The QR code on the box links to a .pdf of the manual included in the box.

The USA and Canada RCA website does not list this product at all yet.

Since it's Android, if you have a Google account, you can sync your account with this device and access the Play Store.

The box runs an RCA front end over Android that appears to just be graphical in organizing menus.

The RCA settings icon puts you in a normal Android settings menu.

It has 1 gig internal storage memory and 2 gig NAND flash memory.

Nothing is "locked" and you can install .apk files directly from the web.

The mouse is RF and works perfectly.

The unit installs Flash 11.1 and a few other programs semi automatically once you sign on with your Google account.

On its own, the box is basically an Android device with no screen... so whatever screen you connect it to, is your screen.

I would say it is the most complete "tv media box" that you could possibly get in a retail store and the $88.00CAD price is very good.

The closest comparison would be if you could wirelessly mirror your phone or tablet to your tv.

Anyway it's The cheapest Netflix HD streamer that I could find, and it does that very well.
