welcome to the thread.
almost everyday, someone will pose the same question.
yr questions and quest will mark the beginning of a long journey!
it will be nice to able to answer u in a few sentences but no, it will take pages.
i would say some users here started 4-5 years ago, so, it's going to a bit of work and time for u if u really want it.
but here's what i can do - a few thoughts and some links for u to read so that u have a better idea, then come back and get to the specifics and details.
.. Aztro is aztro, there is no "replacement"; there are ALTERNATIVES. (i do not talk illegit/illegal stuff.)
.. android boxes typically do everything an old media player will do and LOTS more, i.e. playback, live streaming, networking, etc.
.. these boxes need updates, upgrades, new firmwares, new apps regularly, i.e. they are not "auto" push button type but need yr time, knowledge and effort to keep it working. u can buy a box with many things preinstalled but will still need yr effort over time as no one will come to "service" the box. so, it's very much DIY by searching, reading, watching you-tube demos, experimenting.
.. videos are streamed via installed APPS, sometimes called APK's. some are better than others; some are small and simple, some are big and complex; some stay good for a long time, some die within days, need new.
.. 30mbps is good, good enough for most streaming purposes.
.. popular english tv series and movies, mandarin shows are easy to get, even in HD; eng live tv channels incl sports in SD easy, HD very hard. and i mean free ones, not paid iptv.
.. u DL stuff.. what quality r u used to? if SD, the alternatives available will be very acceptable to u; if u r used to 1080p with DD/DTS/HD audio, that's a bit more challenging to get with online streaming.
.. there are like 100 brands each with 10 models to choose from; can buy online, at shops, IT centers, from LYN sellers, etc. diff in price is mainly due to chipset, android version, memory size, video and audio handling capabilities, networking capabilities.
