GTMEDIA X1 Android TV Box vs Zapperbox M1 ATSC 3.0 Tuner

The Zapperbox M1 is the better tuner. It has two tuners, handles encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels, supports HDR10/HLG, and adds Ethernet, Bluetooth, USB 3.0 and a microSD slot. The GTMEDIA X1 is a cheaper-feeling Android TV box that also tunes ATSC 3.0 and can record up to five shows at once from one frequency, but it has 2GB of RAM, a 32-bit Android 11 build and no Ethernet. Buy the M1 if over-the-air TV is the point. Buy the X1 only if you want one box for streaming apps and basic antenna TV on a tight budget.

• Choose the GTMEDIA X1 if you want a single Android TV box that streams apps and tunes free ATSC 3.0 channels, and you can live without Ethernet or encrypted-channel support.
• Choose the Zapperbox M1 if antenna TV is your main viewing and you want dual tuners, encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels, HDR and a wired network connection.
