Nvidia shield is the best android tv box by far.

Thought the discontinued the pro. I have one of each, the pro and the standard 16gig. Although after 2.5yrs I had to change out the hard drive in the pro.

But yes Shields are the best.

Properly licensed - Google Android TV devices.

Not all of them are Netflix Approved - that is seperate from Google licensing:

A few gotchas:

Be aware Android TV devices are extremely poor for Dolby anything.

Meaning no DolbyVision, none or broken Dolby Audio licensing. (no DD+ > DD only audio downmixing)

Also some old Chipset Android TV devices cannot do 4K HDR YouTube or 4K HDR Play Movies due to being unable to decode Google VP9 Profile 2 video compression codec. (Nvidia Shield)

Not a box, but the new high-end Sony AndroidTv with the latest chipset are the most expensive and can handle all modern codecs
