Few thoughts after having the Stream+ for a week. I quit reading AVS forum because I'm not exactly sure what they all want for a $100 tv box.

1. Obviously lack of Netflix support is an issue (not for us, but still). I expect this will be corrected soon. Amazon Prime also does not work on the Stream+ and does on some other streaming boxes (Shield/Apple TV).

2. DVR works very nicely. Guide only shows two days but has 10 loaded somewhere, as setting up to record daily soap or similar shows you what it has flagged to record for 10 days. There was some question whether or not it recorded when powered off (using remote) but functions perfectly.

3. We use voice control with Google home a lot. Google devices can be renamed in Google home, this must be renamed in settings --> about device of Stream+

Really wish I had one for every TV. We have already geared up with a firestick/chromecast combo in each TV. Could have gone with this device instead of those two - cost would have been a tiny bit higher, but this box is butter smooth and lightning fast. Love this thing more today than I did day 1.
