if you:

- want everything to *work*

- you pay for netflix, amazon prime tv, other service

- Own HDTV or 4K TV and want high quality media

don't buy the non official boxes or the "chinese ones". End up u pay for netflix, Disney+, Prime Tv for NOTHING. All will end streaming in 480p or NON HD. This no matter how hard u try, cannot fix.

I think this is the main point that new AndroidTV Box buyer should know.

if you pirate or have digital copy of a lot of shit on seperate hard drive/thumbdrive (movies, tv show) then I can see using the non *official* androidTV box.

Actually I am quite confused, how does Chromecast With Google TV compare to Android boxes?
https://store.google.com/product/chromecast...ecast_google_tv

Is it just the same but with the additional option to cast from other devices to the TV?

bro android tv with chromecast the new one with the remote is basically android tv box. Only difference is u need to figure out buy different dongle/wire if you want connect external USB drive.

almost all androidTV box that is "official" (when I mean official, i mean android tv box that can play netflix in HD, they have pass or contain security services from google) have cast ability (wireless mirror display from PC/Android).

the one you link here is OLD ONE. Only use for screen cast/mirroring.

get the NEW one. here https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/google-chr...-with-google-tv

you can install apps from your tv. Need to sign in with google account. Your TV got google playstore. As to how to watch movie for free, you can google it. I know for a fact that it works but obviously i cannot share here lol
