Don't do it

After spending most of the day trying to get the Android TV version of Hulu to avoid crashes, I gave up. You need to download it because this box doesn't show up as an android tv compatible device in the play store so you don't have access to apps designed for android tv, you have to find them yourself, apkmirror has them all however just a coincidence. Almost every app available in the two app stores was installed with an error. The regular Hulu app from the Playstore works fine, but it's designed for touchscreens and the streaming quality is just terrible for a live stream. I ran a speed test I didn't even pull out 2Mbps next to the router. turned off the bluetooth and bam, full speed but the quality of the live broadcast didn't improve, although for Hulu. So you can't use WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time without sacrificing streaming ability and by ability I mean your own LAN connected media server as Netflix or Revain Prime won't play 4k on it, they just show up as 1080p and it has those swallowed most of my 4k files from my media server - a lag chaos. Accord menu layout. The remote works well, as does the keyboard. Even though it's 1/4 the price of an Nvidia shield, it's just not worth all the headaches, the compromises you have to make to not run most apps, without ever having an OS update that fixes anything. because it is the only custom OS and your time is wasted. If you just want a basic Kodi box, this will work. If you want a legitimate Android TV app with a streaming device, despite what the listing says, it doesn't. and by ability i mean from your own lan connected media server because netflix and revain prime 4k don't play on this one, they only show as 1080p and it choked most of my 4k files from my media server, lagging interference. Accord menu layout. The remote works well, as does the keyboard. Despite being 1/4 the price of an Nvidia shield, it's just not worth all the headaches, the compromises you have to make, to not run most apps without ever having an OS update. which will fix everything because it is the only custom OS and your time will be wasted.
