TV Box Dubai — Turn Any TV Into a Smart TV
A TV box is the cheapest way to make an old television behave like a brand-new smart one. Plug it into HDMI, connect Wi-Fi, and you get Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Shahid and live IPTV on a TV that shipped years before any of them existed.
We stock certified Google TV boxes and high-spec Android boxes in Dubai from AED 170, with same-day delivery and setup done for you.

Android TV box vs Google TV box — what's the difference?
They run the same underlying system, but the interface and licensing differ, and it genuinely matters for what you can install.
Certified Google TV boxes (the Z1, EMODERN Z1 Air and Xiaomi Mi Box S) ship with the official Play Store, licensed Netflix in full resolution, Google Assistant voice search and Chromecast built-in. If you want everything to work without thinking, buy one of these.
High-spec Android boxes (the 5G Pro and MAX range) trade certification for raw hardware — far more RAM and storage, higher output resolutions, and a front LED clock. They run IPTV players beautifully and sideload anything, but Netflix may be limited to HD rather than 4K on some models.
What a TV box actually gives you
The upgrade is mostly about speed and apps. A 2018 Smart TV still technically works, but its processor is now painfully slow, its app store has stopped receiving updates, and half the services it once had have dropped support.
- A fast interface again — apps open instantly instead of taking 20 seconds
- Apps that still get updates — your TV's built-in store is likely abandoned
- Casting from your phone — Chromecast built-in on Google TV models
- Voice search — hold the mic button and say what you want to watch
- Live IPTV — 80,000+ channels alongside your normal streaming apps
- Move it between TVs — take it to a new home, it's just an HDMI device
Setting up your TV box in Dubai
Genuinely three steps, and we do the hard part before delivery. Connect the box to your TV with the included HDMI cable, switch the TV to that HDMI input, then connect to your Wi-Fi or plug in a LAN cable. Everything else is already installed.
If you would rather not do it yourself, we walk you through it on a WhatsApp video call at no cost, or arrange in-person setup in most Dubai areas.

TV Box Dubai — frequently asked questions
Will a TV box work with my old TV?
Yes — the only requirement is a free HDMI port, which almost every TV made after about 2008 has. The box supplies its own interface, apps and processing power, so the TV is just acting as a screen. Very old TVs with only AV/composite inputs can work too with an adapter; message us with your TV model and we'll confirm.
How much is a TV box in Dubai?
From AED 170 for the Android and Google TV models, up to AED 300 for the genuine Xiaomi Mi Box S. All prices include the remote, HDMI cable and power adapter — there are no extras to buy.
Does the TV box need a monthly fee?
The box itself is a one-time purchase with no recurring fee. Netflix, Prime Video and similar apps use your own existing accounts. If you want live TV channels, our IPTV subscription is AED 80 for a full year — paid once, no auto-renew.
Can I watch Netflix and YouTube on the TV box?
Yes. All our boxes come with Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+ and Shahid installed. On certified Google TV models (Z1, EMODERN Z1 Air, Xiaomi Mi Box S) Netflix runs at full licensed resolution with your existing account.
What internet speed do I need for a TV box?
8 Mbps is enough for HD, and 15–25 Mbps comfortably handles 4K. Standard Etisalat and du home fibre packages in Dubai far exceed this. For the most stable picture use the 5GHz Wi-Fi band or the LAN port rather than 2.4GHz.
