Should You Buy an Android TV Media Streamer?



With popular media streamers available from Apple and Roku, does it make sense to buy an Android TV box?

Here's Why Android TV Media Streamers Are Still a Great Option

For many cord cutters, having multiple media streamers makes perfect sense. And Android TV media streamers are a splendid choice for several reasons.
1. Android TV media streamers offer more sources of content. Apple and Roku are great for most apps. But they lock these platforms down. Any apps or channels that offer content from unapproved sources quickly get scrubbed and removed. Android TV is like the Wild West of media players. And if you don't want to be restricted where to get your content from, an Android TV media streamer is best.
2. An Android TV box is more than a simple media streamer. It's actually more like a PC. So if you want something that can run a wide range of apps, from web browsers to calculators and even office apps, the Android operating system makes sense.  
3. With an Android TV box, you have full access to the entire Android app library. Android TV boxes use special apps that work well with a remote control. They look amazing on a big screen TV. An Android box can also run any app made specifically for Android phones. So you can either add apps from the Google Play Store, or download apks directly online. Therefore, you have a lot more control over which TV apps you can install and watch. Which is something not available on Roku or Apple TV.
Owning several brands of media streamers is not a bad idea. And owning an Android TV box offers a lot more flexibility for watching TV. 
Please be aware that any Android TV or Google TV media streamer you buy is certified to access Netflix or Prime Video in the U.S.A.
