Roku, Apple TV, Streamers, Google/Android Tv etc

A have got a Geniatech ATV1000 - which is a google tv device - a rebranded version of this was selling in cr*plin for just over 50 quid at one point, but other versions can be bought online- has an 'air remote' which is good because it has a full querty keyboard on it. It has an ARM Cortex A9 CPU, whic does the job. It works fairly well using apps such as dreamstreamoid for watching sat tv in another room, and works for HD channels on this with a bit of messing. Web browsing is ok, but still not as good as on a PC. Most of these devices have the usual communities on forums so getting info on rooting, firmware and tweaks isn't a problem. Flash works on this (to a point) but only because there is a hack on an old 10.x version of flash so it works with the hardware. The same goes for HD video, needs to be decoded in the Hardware to work, but this can be done with a couple of video players.

It is a gimick, and a novelty, it can and has been useful, but like most of my gadgets, is just on the pile of gadgets that I bought, used a couple of times and then decided to hoard!
