Default [OT for uk.d-i-y] Android version of Apple TV

Is there a really decent one that people would recommend?

My WII is getting a bit long in the tooth playing Netflix content and
it's Youtube and iPlayer apps are a bit rubbish.

Given how well my phone works, I'd like to replace the WII with an
Android set-top unit.

However there are *many* and I find it impossible to decide if any of
them are actually decent and reliable.

I could be persuaded to go AppleTV if that is truly better?

What I'm after is Netflix (running through unblock-us, but I handle that
in my local DNS server so should not be a problem), Youtube, iPlayer,
ideally some other channels' versions of iPlayer.

Remote operation from an Android phone would be cute but not essential.

WIFI definatelt, wired network nice to have.

Cheers!

Tim
