thanks for the pointers.
Can you tell me some good examples of Android box?
and some examples of Android TV box?
correct me if im wrong, Mi Box S is Android TV box right?
What about FireTV Cube?
Maybe i would try to get the best audio visual quality tv plus a box.
if the tv is a "smart" type, then maybe i just get a smart tv (not androidTV) plus androidTv box.
u should get a 4k hdr tv that is smart enough at least to have built in Netflix HD4k and youtube 4k. - these 2 are essential.
most new Tv's today have them, that is easy. ATV tv's will surely have them too, plus other ATV capabilities.
just avoid buy a cheap dumb tv that has nothing more than a browser - these are typically poorer built Tvs.
boxes... been discussed in LYN for almost 10 years now... lots of threads and posts.
the thing is this box thing changes very quickly... android4 to android10 within 8 years.
and hundreds of boxes, some regular android, some ATV.
mibox s is ATV, so is shieldtv, sony and sharp ATV tv's.
fire cube runs on own fire os.
all others run on regular android, currently at android9 for most.
there are individual threads for each brand or box.... u can search/read/ask... e.g.

not all boxes are built the same... some are better that this but not so good for that, etc.
online streaming, playback, video, audio, ethernet, wifi, networking, nas...
