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!

I'm using a Tesco Hudl with great success. Using an OTG cable it runs a wireless mouse, connects via HDMI and has apps for Netflix, iPlayer, 4OD, demand5, TVCatchup, etc, etc as well as a full browser capability. I recently picked up a splitter ITG which allows for USB connectivity and charging at the same time - sorted. Amazon are soon to release their own TV box which does all the same stuff except you can't unplug it and use it as a tablet.......
