I mean, there's really only one other device.

Chromecast

I respect the amount of hate the Mi Box gets

However

The only issue I have with it is sometimes Netflix audio goes out of sync . It may take one or two reboots to get it back to normal.

Which is am annoyance to be sure .

Aside from that, as a bedroom or kids basement box. No complaints

Nexus player!

For just the normal video streaming, Mi Box works perfectly for me.

Mi box or new fire tv. Both are great.
