I guess it all depends on what you use it for. I have most of the Google Certified boxes/sticks, including the 2017 Nvidia Shield. But, NONE of my devices support all the audio and video codecs. My shield does NOT support Dolby Vision, but does passthrough all of the HD audio codecs. The TiVo Stream 4k passes through the Dolby Vision, but NOT any of the HD audio codecs.
So what is the use of having a 4K TV that supports Dolby Vision and all of the other HDR and HDR +. And an audio receiver that supports all of the audio codecs, if you don’t have a player that uses those functions…
Besides, my Kodi data is more than 6 gigs, so NONE Of these Official streamers have enough internal storage to install Kodi.
Right now, this HK1 is getting closer to MY holy grail (for my purposes). Of course, most people want a media streamer for their online content. I think having ones own media is dying.
That is just my 2cents.
