Looking to upgrade my firestick tv need some recommendations

by thebigchile

So I'm not really up to date on the market of android tv boxes but I do know what I want and its simple

I need a tv box that can read a usb in NTFS format so I can put big movie files and watch them on VLC

Honestly there are not that many good boxes, and fewer at a reasonable price. Unfortunately I'm in the market too and the shield seems to be the only thing worth a damn.

For your use case though can I suggest plex or cast player or really any other solution to simply stream the files from another source? PS3 media server, BubbleUPNP, there are a bunch of apps you could run.

You can alss just get a USB OTG CABLE with pass through for power For like a dollar off ebay and that will just add a usb port to the firestick. If you go for a cheaply made one get two so you don't have down time ;)
