The new chromecast is kinda jank tbh. I’d recommend a fire stick 4k. Yeah the Google chromecast is nice but from my advance opinion and tinkering with it, its a hard pass. Plus with the firestick you can mod it and remove alot of the Amazon stuff from it if your a purist like me. Unlike the Google chromecast which can’t. Pros and cons. Just weigh em.
Any android box is fine if you only want to watch some tv. Why spend lot of money for an expensive box. My box I paid 60 for it and it everything that I want.
