      @@TechDoctorUK it's great so far. The only slight problem i have with it is the google assistant. I had to disable it because my phone reacts to it as well. So since my phone is usually less than 5 ft away most of the time if i need it i use that to operate the streaming box, or i just use the remote...it's a shame that google doesn't give you the option to change the wake up word like amazon does....
      Also, for some reason i can't get some 3rd party apps to show up on the home screen under "my apps" (like your task killer app and anality speed test app), i have to use a file manager to find the app and use it from there. As such i tend to use those apps a lot less than i did on the firestick, (until they disabled them of course).
      one thing i did notice right away is the sound output is a lot better than the firestick...it sounds much richer without me having to make any adjustments in the tv settings.
