Howto: AndroidTV for raspberry pi 3

So here is what I found out:

It has bluetooth... sort of. It has trouble connecting to my androidTV remote on my phone. It tries.

Netflix I can't run, crashes on start. Maybe i'm running the wrong version.

SlingTV - this boots, but I can't get past the login screen before it crashes.

Plex - everything looks blue / video issues. Wrong codec maybe?

HDHomerun - shockingly works fine.

Video Warning: No sound. Also filmed with a potato.

Actually runs semi decent. This build might be silly to try because it looks like google may release a build in the next few weeks, but go for it.

Can't seem to get it to boot on 2 of my RPi's. Flashed it to multiple sd cards also. Anyone else had luck with this?
