shield is excellent, but i read something where they couldn't run 3rd party apps (ie. can you get it modded/burned so it does now?) - or did it always? it is pricey though. i just run a good octa-core unit, i forget the name brand but it's on of those small black square ones. make sure you don't get anything below a 6-core at minimum...they are cheap so octa is no brainer, they usually have decent RAM too. don't get the cheapo ones. this is the 'newest' one i've seen but not sure if it is good or not: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/st-c...gationFlag=truemy 'kodi' guy i use i found on kijiji and he's been great for contact re. iptv and updates if i needed.
Oh that kijiji one looks good. Do these apps go down and i need t re-flash/update them?

they do need updating once in awhile but it's not a must, they still work. usually the most up to date ver. will run better though. SHOWBOX is what i'm usually using these days but KODI still works ok. teaTV i think still works ok as well but I think terrarium is down for good now. those are some for you to use for sure. sportsdevil is good but i assume your wife won't care for that lol.
if you want IPTV 'live tv' for like $6-10 bucks a month you can try it and see, i used it moreso for the kids to watch shows and some overseas stuff ourselves but soooo many channels don't work either. so i stopped after 6 months, regular tv is fine for that shit and my sports. not much time otherwise.
you can watch youtube vids as to how to install (or re-install) an app on your box as well on your own, it isn't hard. basically just d/l the .APK file onto the box and install it. if you can't stream for whatever reason from one of the apps, the box has USB ports which is nice. sometimes i'll just torrent a series or movie from my pc, copy to usb and use it on the box so shit doesn't freeze or cutout.
re. how good the steam/feed will be, it all depends on how good the feeds are firstly, then the power of the box you get. in addition of course your net d/l speeds and wifi strength.

How much internet are you guys using a month?
I'm averaging 1900gb... And i have no idea how. I'm never home. Does streaming soak up bandwidth? off of youtube? Cnn? facebook videos, instagram videos

Upon further investigation, no one in my house downloads, no netflix, no streaming. Two people are on their phones, youtube, Cnn, Bnn and some games...i've changed Pws two days ago.
But i am averaging 5-6gbs a night which is in line with 1,800-1,900gbs a month. HOW IN THE F?
what are you guys averaging?

Update:
Rogers system error. Wrong decimal placement. The conversion from MB = Total GB is wrong (on rogers)
It is f'in insane. Made me had to spend time into investigating my home network.
