My family loves movies and tv shows, we currently use a google tv Chromecast and adore the small remote that came with it, it's seen better days and the battery panel is held on with sticky tape at this point and lately the device feels flakey with wifi constantly dropping out. Wanting to download different apps and needing to free up space by deleting other apps and we find the new Gemini voice assistant so much worse than other voice recognition used before... Thinking of getting the new Google streamer 4K... Opinions?

But wondering if I'll be missing out on anything? ...what are people doing at the moment? just started reading up about "downloader by aftv news" and "stremio".

Some more context, lately we've been searching up movies we've wanted to see and generally being pissed off none of the main streamers have that movie despite our own opinion of its cult classic status 😖, + logging into all the different apps one by one to check if something is on there.

Could anyone recommend a media player – i.e. a TV box – that has both an Ethernet connection and Wi-Fi, as well as a DVB-T2 TV tuner certified by Vidivine? It should support Netflix, HBO Max and other VOD services, as well as IPTV, and be compatible with the 2026 standard, or the 2024–2025 standard.

When I open videos using "Browser", "Zeus TV", or "TV Bro" all these browsers, the quality is limited to 720p. I would like to be able to get 1080p or 2K quality when it is available.
