    Have a first gen Fire TV box, and it's been pretty great with PSVue, WWE, Netflix and local stuff on my Pi via SPMC. Only minor complaint is that DVR stuff on the PSVue is a little slow to load, but fine once it's playing.

    Yeah I have heard that the Vue has issues like that :(

    Oh and I'm kind of curious because you are someone who still watches tv... is https://tv.youtube.com/ actually good?

    It looks like it is overpriced compared to the vue

    Saw that in an email a few days ago.. looks pretty nice but it's region-locked to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and San Francisco Bay Area right now.

    I don't really watch TV, I got the PSVue service for The Lady Amanda™; I get the added bonus of my weekly wrestling shows, because due to licensing, WWE Network doesn't get RAW or SD until 30 days after it airs. I never heard of the TV YouTube, though I can't imagine it would be any better value than what I've already got.

    :dunno: I haven't watched TV for years so I don't actually know what is a good value.

    Well you can use Plex with Chromecast and there's other apps like LocalCast for streaming local content. Main thing is to make sure you have either the 2nd gen Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra as they can play back higher quality files better.

    I personally use a Xiaomi Mi Box with Android TV 6.0 because Android TV is basically Chromecast+any Android app (so games, web browsing, etc.)

    If you stream to the chromecast with plex it has to transcode a lot. (Likely the same with all the android TVs as well)

    While I have the hardware to trasncode there is a quality difference compared to my ~20GB BD Remux and the transcode that plex outputs.

    No I'm still 20.

    Well there's a Native Android TV app which shouldn't have as many Transcode issues (and can also act as a Plex server)

    I'm pretty sure that it still can't play 10bit video without transcoding but I could be wrong. (I'll go check now actually)

    edit: The chromecast does not support 10bit video... the nvidia shield doesn't either

    Maybe Link doesn't know if Link wants to be Link or Navi.
    Maybe instead of being so hateful, you should support her in her time of transformation to Navi.
