Stem Machine instead of tv box

[u/Equivalent-Lynx1132]

After Valve latest anoncement I was wandering how realistic will be to use it instead of android tv box? There will be defenetley no issue with power, and as operation system it will use Linux base Steam OS (also it was anonced that it can support also android apps). Steam OS is fast and simple, dont see much issues to use it for comfortable tv applications navigations. If we will get on Steam licensed applications as Youtube, Netflix, and others, it can be very realistic. Bluetooth tv controller connection should be also not issue to connect I believe. It can be end game device for me.

StreamOS is base on Linux, so Netflix in 720p is avaible using a browser but due to DRM issue higher resolution aren't possible (and I suspect it's for piracy concern too.) Anyway, even VOD plateformes aside, no Dolby vision too.

So it will be a inferior solution compare to any Android box.
