Any New TV Streaming Setups

Yup. Tried Kodi. Not sure I like running a broken version of the Fire TV. I don't watch much outside of prime, Netflix, and hulu. Now I do have a ton of torrented movies and the standard codecs for a fire TV are kinda meagre, and transcoding everything again is a pain. For that I liked Kodi. But anymore I just stream from my PC to the Fire TV to avoid the hassle. I dislike paying for HBO go when it is just for one show, game of thrones.
 
Are the Android boxes plug and play?


Or do you have to flash it with OS?

It is just an Google TV, I put Kodi on it since that is what I am using as a front end on all of my devices.  Play time, seek point, watched list, etc, all sync up between devices.

How does an Android Box differ from say, a Chromecast?

Chromecast is mainly for streaming I assume, I don't use one.


Android TV is a full blown Android OS in a box.  Anything you can do with an Android device, you can do with an Android box.  I have bluetooth/USB controllers hooked up to mine as well so my kid can play NES games and Android games.  It is a FULL OS, not some stripped down software like Chromecast.
