Licensing decides more than processing power · review
An Android TV box built around MagentaTV — a national television service — which combines broadcast channels and streaming apps in one interface.
The bottom line A service device first and a streaming box second — right inside its subscription, questionable outside it.
Put a television service and streaming apps behind one interface. That is genuinely what most households want, and it is what neither a plain streaming box nor a plain receiver does.
MagentaTV, a German service. The box is built around it, and its value follows the subscription. Outside Germany, or outside that subscription, it is an Android TV box whose interface was designed for something else.
Android TV, with the standard app store. That limits the downside: even used outside its intended context, the platform is the familiar one.
The DRM certification level, which decides resolution on protected services. Not stated here or anywhere else on this shelf.
A carrier device inherits the carrier’s decisions about updates and support. That is a different risk profile from a general-purpose box, and it is worth weighing on a device meant to last several years.
On sale from 155 € to 169 € on the German, British, French and Italian Amazon stores at the time of checking.
Listed but with no offer on the American and Spanish Amazon stores — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

Underneath it is Android TV, so the app store is standard. Whether the experience makes sense without the service it was designed around is a different question, and this page will not claim it does.
It depends on the carrier continuing to support it. A device tied to a service inherits that service's decisions about updates, features and lifespan — which is a different risk profile from a general-purpose box.
