There is such a thing as too much info I think. I was all set to get the Nvidia box until I started reading here and there. Now in overload and thinking there is no single solution for what I'd like to do.
What I'd like, in order of importance:
Netflix and/or Amazon instant. (currently Netflix, thinking of switching to Amazon)
Local MKV video, FLAC audio content from ext 4TB HDD (USB 3.0)
Spotify
5.1 minimum audio
4K/UHD in the future
Sling TV (maybe)
There is already a Tivo Roamio and an apple TV on this system. So if I had to I could use the ATV for amazon. Hell I can use it or the Tivo for netflix. There's also a ps3 that I can get spotify through but I was hoping to combine a lot of this stuff into one box. I can switch any of this gear to the bedroom TV via the sub HDMI output of the receiver. The whole mess is controlled with a Harmony Hub.
So what do you think? Just go for a chromebox and continue switching to ATV for amazon? Something else? Anything worth waiting for?
Thanks!
Jim
