I have been wanting to get an Android TV box more and more as time goes on. I am more or less decided on which two boxes to get, only one problem…is Android TV any good?
What I mean is, is it comparable to the Roku or AppleTV? I want to buy a box once for the next 4-8 years if at all possible. I don’t want to move on to another product because Android TV is lacking or too buggy to be any good. I just want a nice box that can do Kodi and streaming services well.
How is app support for ATV? How does it compare to Roku/Apple/Fire/etc?
How stable is Kodi under Android TV? It does not need to be perfect, just sufficient enough to last a full day of watching.
Do I need to care greatly about what version of Android TV I run? I understand the value of updates, is Android 5 that different than 7? Does it actually matter (outside of security updates.)?
How stable is Android TV?
Some people dislike ATV because it tends to focus on Google products and services. Is this still true? If true, does it actually matter or is it a quibble?
Keyboard support! Does it work fine? Ridiculous question, perhaps, but I intend on getting a Flirc so I can continue using my MCE remotes and I just want to make sure it will work with a Flirc okie dokie.
Thanks everybody! Unrelated: My roommate and I just love Kodi, especially her. She can’t live without it now!
