  • In my opinion the recording APIs are the biggest news. Media Center is sadly on the way out. I need a way to DVR my shows.

  • The Xiaomi Mi Box looks interesting if it can hit a decent price point.

  • I have the N preview for my Nexus Player, can I find any of these features inside there?

    • This is why I don’t care what software comes with a TV. I can upgrade a box for a lot less than a TV.

    • Still waiting for Android M for my Sony 2015 AndroidTV as well, if this is how slow TV hardware gets update, then it isn’t really enticing to get a TV with AndroidTV built-in.

  • I’ve used AppleTV, Nexus Player, and Roku.
    By far, the Roku is the best option for content, stability, and bang for your buck.

    • i don’t know. android tv has built in cast, and installed kodi with no problem which allows for even more functionality

    • Disagree completely, firestick/TV have Playstation Vue, awesome cable replacement service!!!

      • I prefer SlingTV, but the lack of Google Play to use my Google Rewards on is a deal breaker. I haven’t had to pay to rent a movie in a long time.

        • why do you prefer sling TV? the only benefit is its slightly cheaper, vue has more channels, DVR capabilities, can be used on more devices, has on demand content, and can watch the past 3 days of content on any channel.

          • It’s only native on firestick and PS (i’m not chromecasting my tv watching). I haven’t considered it because I heard stability issues early on. Not sure how it is now though. Maybe I’ll do the free trial on my PS4 this weekend and see how it works. I would still need a second device that has the Google Play store for the bedroom TV. Does it have a remote app for Android on PS?

          • Yes and no. Basically not yet. IOS got their app and it’s awesome but unfortunately we have not. I don’t really understand the trend of android OEMs and primarily android devs releasing content on IOS first but that’s another battle. You can always just use the playstation app and just remote control you ps, therefore PS vue, but nothing dedicated to PS vue (yet). I have read about people getting frame rate drops and freezing but I have not had any such issues. currently 110down 10up. so I have pretty decent internet but nothing too crazy. I was using it on 30 down 3 up for about 3 weeks before I upgraded and the worst I can say is it takes a while (1-2 min) for the auto signal system to stabilize and get 1080. still had no issues with frame rate or freezing. but I agree the lineup of supporting products sucks a little, and chromecast support is insane.

          • I’m doing ~350down and ~250up (U-Verse Gigabit (performance varies). I’ll check it out this weekend and see how it is. I have a PS3 that I could put upstairs, but it’s a bit clunky for a bedroom. I really do enjoy the convenience of controlling my TV, receiver, and roku from my phone. But I haven’t tried PS Vue yet, so I should give it a shot before I can really say definitively one way or another. Good looking out, I appreciate it.

          • Just a heads up PS vue on the PS3 is quite a bit of a downgrade compared to the PS4. Currently have my PS3 and it chugs through the menu system. The streaming itself is fine but the menus almost made me lose my mind till I just accepted it haha. Cant wait till I get to move my PS4 upstairs after the PS4.5 (NEO) comes out in september-october. cheers!

          • For me, Sling has international channels as an add-on. That was the major deciding factor. VUE doesn’t have that last I checked. Plus it seems to be available on more platforms, despite still being pretty limited in app distribution.

          • It just had a bunch of content added when they went from beta to national roll out but I don’t think it had too much international content added. They have an awesome readout of what all their packaged include, also they do have some addons but their core package had everything I want. I know sling only has something like 20-30 channels but again it’s cheaper, Core on PS vue has 70+ (depending on where you live exact number changes with local stations). Don’t watch any foreign TV so I really can’t tell you from experience.

  • That pic up there looks like the 900c. Light bleed King.

    I thought more OEMS did Android TV Tvs
