Thanks for the suggestion.

Let say I drop ATV. Suddenly feel this is better because my most use cases is non ATV apps like AOTG and Directv.
Yet still  ATV apps can run without issue on non ATV OS right.

revised requirement:
1) able to run AOTG HD smoothly.
2) must be android 9 at least
3) usb 3.0
5) able to output 4k 60fps smoothly
6) passthrough DTS MA & Dolby THD

What box can best fit? Budget 400-500. Generally I want a box that can last longer (>3 years), so build quality must good.
I am waiting bro AVfan to do review on TX3 (S905X3).

Regular android can do all apps.
The distinct issue is they can never get netflix hd approval... this is only given to some ATV devices.
But if yr tv already has netflix, this is unimpt.

Of the 6 requirements, i can tell u the most difficult one is no. 6.
Becos box makers focus on video... online streaming, gaming.
Very few incl audio as an essential feature.
Some can do even atmos like netflix but only for online streaming, not local playback.
Some pass thru core dts, dd, dd+ only, cannot do higher.
Local playback with full audio features, auto framte rate or AFR, bluray full menus are not common.
Himedia q10pro and minix u9h satisfy 5 of your requirements... but not no.2... they are 4 years old, android7.

I did consider Ugoos am6, am6 pro.
From the reviews, it should do astrogo once u switch to unroot.
Hd audio, AFR, these should be ok.
I decided not to go for it becos for rm600-700, i may wanna wait for minix u22-xj or next himedia model.
These 2 brands are proven when it comes to audio capabilities.
So, i go cheap with tx3 s905x for now, see if it is good enuf. tongue.gif

Hi all,
This maybe off topic a bit, subtopic redirection welcomed, do let me know. Do you guys use Network Attach Storage (NAS) at home to store some shows so no need to stream all the time? If yes, do you DIY or buy NAS specific unit add HDD yourself?

Thanks.

U22xj is not out yet... i wait for it, see if reviews will be good.

i am interested to the extent it is a reputable brand, continuous firmware updates, not so cheap.

if u have major interest, better start a new thread on minix as this one is about ASTROGO!

Common be reasonable ! There was an discussion about something else prior to your post. And then you suddenly made a post no head no tail ? You think everyone is the worms inside your stomach ?

How is a question for clarification is stepping on your tail until you have to call names and make insult ?

Using flagship S922 and it has root option to OFF.

Guess good fit for AOTG.

Any comments?

I have a Mini M8S Pro flashed with Ugoos V1.1.4 and it can run AOTG and Playtv without any problem. Only drawback is its Android 6.0

Original version was Android 7.1 but couldn't run AOTG. Then a forummer here tried flashing the Ugoos firmware and confirmed AOTG working. I just followed. 😅
