Thanks for clearing that up about DV. So Apple TV 4k with DV is great, but it not supporting addons via MrMC is not so great (I really want my favorite skin on all my devices)

At this stage the ATV 4K is good for DV when using paid for video streaming Apps. ie. Netflix & iTunes, maybe VUDU.
DV anything else would be considered experimental.

I will look into Zidoo and compare it with my Minix.

Be aware Zidoo does not support Kodi natively for audio or video hardware decoding. It uses external media player software that is called from within Kodi.
That can lead to issues because you will not be getting the full monty Kodi experience.

A bunch of people do not like that convoluted setup.
Zidoo Kodi 18.2 (click)

With the U9 - use CoreELEC Kodi Leia, running from a Class 10 U1 microSDHC card if you want a great Kodi Leia experience.
(remember to tweak the GPU MHz in Settings > System > AMLogic)
