After having a Hub over the weekend, my impressions are mostly quite favorable. The remote is really poor, though the IR extender cable does help some. Android on this box is pretty much useless, even after the MM update, GUI is clunky, and I have not had any luck getting Netflix to run. Tried a Ninja build from apkmirror (which just errors out) and another from the App store, which runs, but doesn't play anything (just get a black screen)
However where it shines is running Libreelec, everything plays, audio is (finally) being decoded correctly, and it is pretty snappy considering the 1GB RAM. Tried like hell to get SMB2 shares working, numerous online guides wiki etc, finally gave up & reverted back to SMB1 and all is well. While I'm disappointed as the Hub doesn't seem to be able to solve my "one box to do it all" quest, I can live with a solid Kodi box, and FireTV for streaming NF & Prime.

For now, since I don't yet have a 4K TV, I'm good w/ the FTV2 , though I think eventually will most likely get an ATV 4k for streaming duties.

So has anyone actually gotten Netflix w/ 5.1 audio working thru Android MM on the Hub? If so, was there a specific build number required? Saw some comments to that effect up thread, but this topic has kind of died out, and it was a while back...

Well whatever their "new device" is, I hope they do a better job supporting it than this one. WeTek started out great, sharing info with Kodi team, doing bug fixes etc (though they seem to have turned a deaf ear towards some needed fixes). All seems to have dropped by the wayside.
