I will over this if it had a usb! I use flirc to use a regular remote (with numbers).
Unless, there is a universal remote control I can use with this the numbers.
can kodi be installed? std play store?

FAQ on Verizon's website says you need a Verizon account to sign into the Steam TV. Does this mean a Steam TV app only? Or the whole box when you boot it up?
Verizon hardware isn't all that bad. The Verizon Wear 24 is still one of the better Android watches on the market (good screen, good battery, massive RAM for it's times especially, but even in the modern market, and it's only $50)
Not that I need or want this, but the Verizon name alone wouldn't make me want to discredit it.
I didn’t know Nike was a sponsor.

First the shield, now this...I mean how expensive are usb ports? Does lack of usb really make a lot of difference in manufacturing costs? That's various question btw. I genuinely have no idea.
Note that's it's a streaming device anyone can buy and it's not linked to Verizon's TV service.
It's the standard Android TV 9 interface you'll find on the Mi Box and Shield TV.
It's finally NOT using the old Amlogic S905X and uses the much better S905X2. There is an Ethernet port but no USB.
After 3 months, it's now Netflix and Prime Video certified.
