A week late but I'd recommend the Walmart onn 4k if it's available where you are. Cheap, can have a custom launcher and you can sideload apps
I'd recommend looking at used Nvidia Shields. They're simply the best Android TV boxes available. There are pretty good instructions available to remove all the proprietary stuff from the devices, too.
It's insane they're still the best option like 6 years in... And I got an android update earlier this year.
I would like an updated revision...I just need a couple more gb of ram
Huh but I wonder does old shield support modern hardware codecs like av1,vp9,h.265,dts-hd ? Software rendering of these would be slow or sound not possible at all
It does support vp9 and h265, I believe DTS-HD as well but I think that's only for if you use eARC (I only use optical so I have everything convert to AC3). AV1 is not supported afaik, but I have my server do the conversion in realtime with quicksync and serve up h264 or h265.
Been hanging for an update. Could probs get one on the main tv. A bit pricey to do the full house though.
I recommend ugoos tv boxes (possible to install even manjaor) there a lot custom roms ,if more cheap options tanix android TV boxes
I will take a look thanks
