Streaming Media Device Recommendations
The Nvidia Shield devices are the best Android TV devices. I also like the Chromecast with Google TV, but it is usually more expensive than the Tivo Stream 4K although it mostly has the same hardware, making the Tivo Stream 4K a better choice. Another popular choice is the MECOOL KM2.
