#1
Netflix
4.7
(11)
"Netflix is my favorite because you can turn subtitles to French and they have a lot of good content."
"Altered Carbon on Netflix."
"MANIAC on Netflix, fits the theme of a lot of these shows."
"Severance is terrific."
"Russian doll is also a good ass show."
"That show is excellent and all the episodes are worthwhile since they are all standalone."
"It's the best piece of series based cinematography I've ever seen and the story is one of the most airtight I have ever heard of."
"Manic is a good one. It’s on Netflix."
"I quite like Oxygen on netflix and also BigBug, they're both sci-fi."
"Maestro in blue on Netflix"
#2
Apple
4.9
(9)
"Most players we design with/integrate with and dealers spec are Apple TV4K units."
"I have used Roku, Fire and Apple TV and chose Apple TV."
"Apple TV 4K."
"Best for streaming: Apple TV 4K"
"Apple tv 4k would be the best for most."
"I’d say Apple TV 4k, Kaleidescape Strato V and late gen Sony TV with Bravia Core is pretty good combo."
"Apple TV seems to be the leader in the clubhouse. It's sleek, it's well built, and it isn't stuffed full of ads."
"AppleTV is king unless you have a Plex server, then Nvidia Shield Pro"
"Apple TV 4K / nvidia shield pro (shield pro is starting to get outdated now with its SOC)"
#3
Buffer
3.9
(10)
"Good, but affordable tools: Buffer, Sendible, and Vista Social (especially for small teams)"
"I've used Buffer in the past and it's always been pretty good."
"I suggest going with Buffer for your social media scheduling needs."
"Buffer gives you the ability to schedule on three social accounts for free."
"I’ve used BUFFER for years. It’s strong, robust and works well."
"Yes I use buffer & metricool the free one only since I only manage one accounts for FB & IG and now I change to Meta Business Suite."
"Social Pilot and Buffer are also great per my prior experience."
"Buffer allows 3 social accounts for free. I use them for bsky/x🤮"
"Buffer"
"Buffer and Planable are more into publishing and weak in terms of analytics."
#4
Ugoos
4.3
(7)
"Ugoos am6b+ with coreelec for local media files."
"The best for highest quality local streaming with plex is the ugoos am6b+ with coreelec"
"I will be going with an Ugoos AM6B+. Streaming services don't matter for me and I love the fact that I can keep using Kodi."
"AM6B+ if you don't need\\want steaming services (netlix, Disney+, etc)"
"Ugoos am6b+ if you want passthrough AND Dolby Vision P7 support from remux files. But it requires a bit of tinkering to set up."
"Second the Ugoos AM6B+ with CoreELEC. It's one of the few devices that can process the DV essence layer (FEL)."
"Something like the Ugoos AM6B+ or Homatics Box R 4K Plus running CoreElec will playback everything."
#5
Nvidia
4.3
(6)
"Nvidia Shield Pro is STILL the best if you're an audiophile or videophile."
"The NVidia Shield Pro 2019 is still the hands down best streamer right now."
"Nvidia Shield Pro if you want audio passthrough and a good “out of the box” solution with additional support for streaming apps."
"Shield is still where it’s at if you care about bitstreaming DTS formats and/or having access to streaming apps."
"NVIDIA Shield because Apple TV can’t pass TrueHD Atmos from remuxs."
"It's far from perfect being expensive and outdated - but it still has support for audio and HDR formats."
#6
Amazon

(6)
"I went with Fire TV Cube with my setup and it gives me Atmos 4k."

"Fire tv stick because im not paying 200 dollars for an nvida shield."
#7
Zidoo

"For local media and remuxes Zidoo Z9X."
"Zidoo. Whether you get a z9x 8k or older model…it will play everything you throw at it and the poster wall is good."

"Using the Zidoo Z9X 8k since 6 months"
