Anyone looking for a streaming box look into the Walmart Onn 4k Pro, came out earlier this year and it works great. The remote has an annoying button on it, but that's my only complaint.

Switched to apple TV already. Googles lame ad infused cheap plastic remote did the trick on me. They have to pay ME if they want a Youtube and Netflix ad laying on my table at home.

Don't turn your remote over or you'll have an Apple ad laying around.

Damm I've used these to stream my security cameras to portable monitors around the house. I hope they keep working

Be nice to have something to replace my Nvidia shield pro with that's not an apple tv. Looking forward to seeing how the new streaming device compares

So what's the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?

I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it's always been quite sluggish to use, and I can't replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.

So I'm looking for one that's a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.
