Hi
I wanted to compare Apple Music with Amazon using HDMI into an AVR. I saw a new, cheap EE Apple TV box on eBay so I bought it. Then I started my research and found that these boxes are not normally sold and when I got it I had a few problems as I'm not (yet) an EE customer. I asked the seller how he bought the box and was not reassured by his reply.
I've bought a non-EE Apple TV box in the meantime
Is there a way I can check if this box is legal? The seller does not accept returns so I need some grounds for eBay to step in and recover my money.
Thanks for listening

I agree thanks. It's not an expensive box but so far I've bought this 'cheap' one and now a proper one. I went for cheap originally as I only wanted Apple Music, I get Apple TV through Fire Sticks and TVs so really don't need that and it doesn't really offer anything else I want. Fire Sticks just keep losing the lossless connection with the AVR though and drop back to the basic 16bit.
Apple Music is better than Amazon in some respects and the dedicated classical app was available on the box then I would be very pleased with it.
