I already have a gen 1 and got another one through this deal for the parents, as we all use localcast with showbox on them to stream shows tothe chromecast.
Localcast works pefectly on them. I dont know why anyone would think twice about these they are extremely capable despite being around for a while. They run lollipop perfectly.
@Lyons, get the showbox app on it too, you'll love it
