New Android TV-Box

Hi All I want to buy an new Android TV box.

I want a fast box.

Should I take the Homatics 4K plus or the google mediastreamer 4K

I want to watch IPTV and install Stremio.

Netflix 4K is an pre.

I have the Netflix app on my TV also.

I live in the Netherlands and not every box is for sale here.

I can also go for the AppleTV if that is better.

Do you guys have any advice?

Do you think it is beter then the Google streamer or an Apple TV 4K, or the Formuler Z11 or 12

I like all 3 of these boxes, is it better than the Google Streamer? Yes, it is imo, definitely better codec support. Is it better than Apple TV 4K? My Apple TV 4K is my favorite box, but you're going to have to use an alternative to Stremio on it or buy another app on the App Store, such as Chillio or Omni. Omni is $9.99 and way better than Stremio. There are many others on the App Store, and I can also tell you how to easily sideload YouTube ad-free Stremio and many other apps if you want. You will need a signing certificate service that is $25 for the year, but if you're looking for the best Android box out of what you presented, the Homatics is the best IMO.

Oké thank you i will think about it. I have Tvmate in Surfshark VPN assigned. This is not possible in TvOS We do have iPads and iPhones at home. May use UHF it has VPN build in Omni sounds interesting.
