You couldn't have explained it clearer! You definitely know your stuff man! Thanks a lot for your time. Appreciate that.
I will do bit more surveys in the market and if I'm getting Q16, I would not look anywhere else!

keep up your good work mate!
Since you are doing the survey, let me share with you the below :1). Selection criteria of Android TV box is not the CPU speed or number of cores, very important criteria is the audio/video decoding capability and the reliability of the hardware.
2). Hardware Principle play very important role. Please select the hardware manufacturer that has in-house Android engineer to continuously develop the firmware to fix software bugs and capable to develop Android Apps as value added service.
3). Check the historical firmware version to verify the continuous bug fixes and improvement.
4). Please avoid Stick base or dongle base Android TV due to the heat and WIFI signal issues.
5). Post sales support is very important to optimize your device. It is best if the principle has public forum for sharing and feedback.
P/S : Android player is different from traditional DVD or Blueray player where you the functionality is static. Android Player is software driven, the functionalities are dynamic by upgrading the apps or firmware. Therefore post sales support is very important and sharing of information among the community is very important as well.
