Pros & Cons
Pros
Android tv doesn't *quite* have as many as roku, but it's close. It's double the price (more if you count the price of the remote) of the near top of the line roku. I just restart it and the internet is back and anything laggy caused by it is gone. It... Read More
The look is sleek and matches all my other media stuff. Streaming is crystal clear. Button layout is nice, the weight is good, and i love the volume control *.
High quality build, responsive and powerful controller. K streaming support with youtube and netflix! K streaming excellent thru netflix and others.
Cons
Constantly loses connection. This has nothing to do with my network, it is on a cat6e cable directly to my nighthawk x8 router.
Showbox which is another great movie streaming app could also not be installed thereby defeating my main interest. Broken streaming to nvidia pc gtx.
Requires reboot every few hours as the device constantly slows down on it's own. Won't show anything on screen after doing the update. The only way to get the connection back is to forget the network and retype the credentials.
The x1 chip is beefy. I have a first gen fire tv which works flawlessly and its ui is much more polished.
Pc game streaming is, as it stands now, half baked and needs a lot of work. Game compatibility is also currently pretty poor. Shamed they haven't made a version with the newer leading xavier chipset too.
