Well after the disaster that the Xiaomi Mi Box has become since it's idiotic developers decided to release really buggy, untested v8.0 Oreo Firmware, we have another contender in the budget Google Certified and Netflix Approved - Android TV OS category. One that has better connectivity options as well.

Early report indicate a much more stable device vs the v8.0 Xiaomi Mi Box. (a Mi Box FW 8.1 update is hopefully expected shortly)
However Live TV deinterlacing is still broken for Live Channels & Kodi's PVR's. Same as all recent AMLogic S905 devices like the Mi Boxes.
Kodi HD audio passthrough is Not working with the Jetstream.
