    This little box can do it all. It is by far the fastest Android media player and Apple TV doesn't even come close to its performance. Nice interface and hdr compliant makes it better.

    If you are in the Android ecosystem of apps, this is the best TV companion you can get. It’s user interface is great, light gaming is awesome, and setup is easy. Draw backs- if you are an Apple user, no AppleTV and the Hulu app is barely functional.

    Using as both a Plex client and server for my main TV in house and it is just great. TV is a 4k Samsung 2016 gen and the pic quality from the shield is incredible. Highly recommended.

    Awesome android box. Works smoothly. Just note some sideloaded apps can be difficult to get on the home screen. Since Oreo update disabled the most commonly used app

    I have two in my home. Down load apps for everything, works better and does more than any stick or box for TV. I felt like I finally found the real stick or movie box and it was available the whole time I struggled with the other. Thanks Gamers, I am definantly trying games!

    Purchased 2 of these for different rooms in our home to run Kodi. They run perfectly and I will never buy other boxes again to run Kodi. It was also easy to set up.

    Plug and play. But, better to add applications. With no apps, buy the Roku. If you know computers, this is the one. For streaming. I am not a game player,,so no comment on that.

    What I've always hope for in a streaming player...

    So let me start off saying I'm and apple person. I've had every Apple TV including the first which really started this streaming box craze way back in 2007. That said, this is what I've envisione - or it will be - something that's voice responsive, can serve your media, digital assistant to control appliances, and just the home HUB. Only downside is I feel that google doesn't offer quite as much flexibility with content as Apple; however, it can be worked around and is always getting better while Apple's been stagnant.

    This is the best android box out there. It's a shame to have to classify this in the grouping of those inferior boxes but it is an android Operating system. It is 64bit though. This has been such a great experience for me (windows fan) I bought another and replaced a dedicated htpc. This works amazing and is only getting better. It has a company that backs it so I am sure it will only get better. I have no complaints at all. It is able to bitstream Atmos through Plex and netflix. The has adequaternary 3.0 USB spots. It has a micro usb connection spot to hook up to a pc for easy navigation as well.

    Love this box. I use a hdhomerun with this and the guide and DVR are fantastic. No more switching inputs from TV to streaming boxes. Netflix is super fast. Love all the apps too.
