Yeah I was just about to buy the AM6B+ but when on the CoreElec forum I saw a post from one of the admins/contributors saying they will eventually drop the AM6 in favour or newer hardware/cant support it forever since its a side project for them). Perhaps I misread the situation so mean to cause any alarm. I cant find the post now, I should have bookmarked it.
I did keep a note of these however:

^ dont really know what that means but maybe they have a s298x box and might get things working?
There was also a post from the Minix forum about the NEO U8K-ULTRA which uses the newer Amlogic S928X, also perhaps hinting and DV but again who knows. So, I gambled and purchased the SK1.
As soon as I done that I saw another post about a totally different chipset “S905X4-J” that might actually be better supported. Somebody has made a custom firmware, so latest Android TV plus booting CoreElec from usb/ad, where as the SK1 has an ancient version of Android.Since it was so old I just planned on running CoreElec from the emmc
