Looking to get a box, any recommendations?
So far looking around I found Mi Box S, Walmart Onn Box, HK1 Box and this thread seems to suggest Mecool KM2
Seems like the stick type tends to overheat
A lot of sketchy ones like those X96 T6 Pro whatever with crazy specs like 8K which I doubt
A relative of mine has an svicloud thing which is quite expensive
also I found out it runs fake Android 10 lol

, Security Patch from February 2019 which Android 10 didn't even exist yet
pairing with a 1080p tv
probably will use youtube mainly, and astro go + its other bundled stuff like disney+ (using grandparents astro subscription)
Note you can't run Astro Go on any of these boxes (modifed android box or Android TV box). But you can get the rm20 smart tv multiroom add on, and using an APK install the astro Smart TV APK on an Android TV device (Needs to be Android TV OS, since it relies on widevine DRM).
Gor the device, Mi Box S is reliable, overpriced IMO due to it's age. Mecool KM2 and the Google Chromecast with Google TV are better choices since they are priced similarly, but with newer chipsets.
Right now the Onn 4K is the cheapest 4K supported Android TV OS locally, so that might be a good choice
