If one buys 2 boxes, namely, a Mecool (dedicated to LE) and other AML S912 for Android TV use, plus the Minix A2 Lite, how they are controlled? That is, first each one must be turn on by specific remote, right? Second, only after they can be controlled through Minix A2?
There is the remote Mele F10 that can learn some buttons. Is this a safe alternative to A2?
Regarding the Wetek Play 2, the fact of having a all-in-one system is very attractive, but it is Android 5 and a S905. For new Android games, this will be a limiting factor. So, WP2 might not be a good choice for both Android and LE.
In my case, Netflix is not considered since my ISP provides a Netflix channel for subscribers through their TV box.

Sorry, I came to a little doubt re-reading the post:
"WeTek keeps remote power button at boot time to flip flop between LibreELEC << - >> Android. System remembers last selection.
Regular S905 (x) dual boot. Boot into LibreELEC first - every time and select "Reboot to Internal" from the Power Menu for Android.
There is no "Reboot to internal" if you use any other Skin then the standard Krypton one code.
Remove SD card with both systems - boot straight into internal Android. "
The dual bot, Android - LibreELEC, are identical between S905 and S905x CPU ?

That question is a complete can of worms on AMLogic devices because of the old Linux Kernel they are using. Some USB Tuners may work with LibreELEC or then again they may not. You cannot just Plug n Play.
Ask over in the LibreELEC forums which ATSC / DVB tuners are needed for your particular part of the world. Then also ask which tuners are working when using AMLogic S905 LibreELEC Kodi Krypton would be my suggestion.
For AMLogic Android forget about it - get a Play2 or other Android device that has known working inbuilt internal tuners.
People usually run a dedicated, external TvHeadend server box.
If you want something that you know will work with a whole bunch of different TV Tuners use LibreELEC on old Intel or RPi hardware. Those devices run a modern Linux Kernel.
TV Tuner hardware setup and support is really beyond the scope of this thread.
