    Hi all. Would appreciate some help on this. I'm looking for an Android box which runs the Android TV OS. I've found the Xiaomi Mi Box S and the Nvidia Shield on Google's official Android TV website. I find the Nvidia Shield to be quite expensive and Xiaomi's box is underpowered at just 2GB RAM and only 8GB of ROM.

    I have a bunch of cheap Chinese android boxes and I find the H96 Max+ to be quite good, but would just prefer to run the official OS rather than dodgy, unupgradeable MediaTek chips.

    Anybody know of devices other than the above and where I might get them? Thanks.

    Google are launching a chrome cast with Google TV built in on the 30th. Haven't seen specs but Google unlikely to send out an under powered product.
    Expected price is €50
    Been official Google product it means that it will be constantly updated
