Fyi, just checked with Starhub and their Go streaming box live channels are only 720p not 1080p as stated earlier.

Bee-link boxes seem to meet your requirements, some even have gigabit Ethernet as well.
Thanks, is RK3328 or S912 better?

if you are using it as tv box, i.e. watching video from internet or home server, it is better to use S905.
reasons:
1. much cheaper
2. no heat problem
3. similar performance.

use S912 if you are using the box to play simple 3d games.
rk3328 has lower speed and has compatibility problems with certain apps
S912 should be better in terms of HW power (8 core vs 4 core). Still S912 device does not have USB 3.0 like my H96 Pro+. Many RK3328 devices do not have Gigabit Ethernet like my H96 Max+.
RK3399 is the king for TV boxes chips for now other than the NVidia chip used in Shield TV. But they are a bit pricey now.
Beelink GS1 H6 has very good review as well and it seems to tick all the points: USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, dual band WiFi. The Shopee price is very competitive since Taobao is S$75 (RMB375) not including shipment and tax to Singapore.
S905W based: Tanix TX3 Max seems to be good. My friend just got one and it seems to be better than my X96 Mini. Android 7.1. Taobao price is about S$40 but adding the shipment and tax, Shopee price is very reasonable but I do not use Shopee.

A review of three S905W based cheap Android TV boxes (below US$40): Beelink W95, generic X96 Mini and Tanix TX3 Max. It seems to me Tanix TX3 Max is the best among the three even though I myself bought the X96 Mini since it is more popular and cheaper in Taobao.
TX3 Max also has a slightly cheaper TX3 Mini version but I think the Max version will have less heat problem.
Thanks, i tried to search more on Tanix and found that their FB page is full of complaints.

Actually x96 mini looks good also leh, but u mentioned urs having heat issue, right?
The other thing is that X96 Mini does not have Bluetooth whereas TX3 Max does have. TX3 Max also has a front LCD panel. So TX3 Max is slightly higher-end.
The two are almost compatible since people have used the Tanix Android with the X96 Mini with almost no issues.
X96 Mini has the IR extension which works well for me. And I have a powered USB hub for my Android TV boxes experiments with USB keyboard/Mouse, Bluetooth adapter, thumb drive, USB hard drive, etc, they all work fine. It also comes with rooted Android where I can install different apps to poke around.
Awesome little box that was easy to figure out and I was also able to use my Bluetooth mini keyboard.
