New devices?

by AtomicEdge

Hey everyone.

Almost all of the new Android TV devices that I see appearing on the market are TV's. While I do intend to get an Android powered TV next time I am in the market to upgrade, I was hoping to get a box in the mean time.

I tried out the Nexus Player, but I had a bunch of issues with audio, which other people online needed to have, so I returned it. The only other box I see that is popular is the NVIDIA Shield, but I really don't want to pay a load of money for a controller I will never use, and I have a Steam Link hooked up to the TV for streaming games.

Are there any more boxes on the way that I have missed? It just seems a bit... quiet.

the only other actual AndroidTV box I've heard of is the Razer Forge, and the reviews weren't good.

Maybe a 2nd gen Nexus Player is on the way? This is what I've heard people saying since the Nexus Player stopped shipping.

/r/AndroidSetTopBox if you are just looking for a box running Android, not Android TV though.

Don't know what's on the way but if you don't want to pay for the Shield, the Nexus Player would be your best bang for your buck. I have both and think the Shield was one of my best investments in a while. I prefer surfing around with the remote stick (sold separately) controller and would only pick up the controller to play a game here and there. Great quality device though.
