Has there been any info on a non Nexus Player Android TV device? I really want to combine Chromecast, native Plex and Limelight in the one device. But to efficiently stream games I need (or maybe just want) a ethernet port... So is there any concrete news on an Android TV with an Ethernet port?
I haven't heard anything offical.
Tho If all you need is ethernet, might be worth looking into an USB OTG Cable and USB Ethernet adapter. You can pick both up for ~$10 dollars, and should work with the Nexus Player.
I think some of the other devices will cost more than the player, and might be overblown for you needs.
