Looking for a Box

by salbast

Hey all. Just looking for advice for an AndroidTV box. I used to have a Nexus, but that failed a few months ago. I was using a firestick, but that's starting to go and I miss using my USB stick to watch movie files. I was looking at the MI S and Ematic. Here's my dilemma, though. I started watching Prime Video and supposedly neither are able to run Prime. Any good boxes that are able to run Prime Video as well as Disney+?

Edit: I should add that I'm also looking for something that's able to handle a multiple USB port dongle. Also, not looking to spend that much on a Shield.

FWIW, you will spend "that much" trying different stuff that doesn't work by NOT buying the Shield.

I have a lot of different Android boxes, and the Ematic is my choice for a streamer. I have a Shield, but rarely use it.

I am waiting for the Mecool KM6 Deluxe to become available.

I have both the Tivo Stream 4k and Dynalink TV box, but can't use them on my primary 4k TV, because my TV does not support HDR. Both of these boxes do not have a setting to disable the SDR to HDR, so all he colors are washed out.
