Thanks @S.Prime, I'll check out the channel...
I'm in the market to buy an Android Box and there are so many to choose from. Would someone be so kind to point me in the right direction based on my criteria and usage?
Which box is best for:
My work station:
1. It will be hooked up to my 4K computer monitor at my work station.
2. I want to be able to watch my international futbol games. English Premier, Bundesliga, La Liga etc...
3. I'd like to record my futbol games.
Are there wireless boxes where multiple users can steam at the same time? -
@iunlock Where do you stream your soccer from? Perhaps HDHomeRun would do the trick? The Nvidia Shield Pro comes with 500GB of built-in storage for your recording needs, but you could also connect an external HDD to another Android TV box. The Mi Box from Xiaomi just got announced at Google I/O.

I've been using a paid service, but with an android box I'm hoping for subscriptions to be a thing of the past.
nvidia shield pro looks to be the pricest out of the bunch eh? I have a lot of external HD's laying around....
Any specific recommendations on an android box that will suit my needs? I'm willing to spend whatever to get the best of the best.

If you figure you want access to additional services and apps offered by Android, I'd get get a box running Android TV rather than plain, often outdated Android. That way, you'll be presented with an experience better suited for the big screen, and streaming apps are more likely to allow output in higher resolutions. Currently, the list of devices certified to playback Netflix in HD & 4K is very short. Both the Nexus Player and Mi Box run Android TV while being significantly cheaper than the Shield. However, they don't offer USB 3.0 or an ethernet port, and are not as powerful. The Nexus Player does not have HDMI 2.0 and is not HDCP 2.2 or HDR compliant, should that matter in the future, while the Mi Box is not available quite yet. Furthermore, even if the Mi Box runs Android TV 6.0, unlike most of its competitors, it's not a given that it'll recieve the same certifications as the Shield and Nexus Player.
Ultimately, you'll have to be more specific as to how you plan to access your sports content before a final recommendation can be given.iunlock likes this. -
My needs are as follows:
* To access live TV channels. Sports, News etc...
* 4k movie capability.
* Able to record my games or shows.
* Ethernet port for directly plugging into my switch -> network.
What I don't need:
* Games.
* Games.
* or games....
My needs are very basic, yet specific as noted above. I already use PLEX and it is awesome for remote access while traveling.

Well, if you already have the hardware, going the NAS/Home Server route is the most practical. You could for instance use MythTV in Kodi, where your recordings could be accessed through Plex. I have no experience setting up a backend like this, but it doesn't look too complicated.

2) Look for Kodi channels that will have access to your games before purchasing.
3) I would imagine you would need an intermediate box, or some sort of splitter in order to record from these. There may be some app that could do it, but it may also depend on how well your box holds up performance-wise.iunlock likes this.
