Great Pun Mary, enjoyed it <smile>.
I don't want to sound difficult but I'd rather not mention a price given
the Australian Dollar is very low compared to the U.S. dollar and also
for the fact that their may be far more Android TV'S available in the
U.S. than in Australia - in fact I'm very sure of that -.
The model I'm getting is a 50 inch model and it has multiple
inputs/outputs, an audio line-out for example plus digital out and HDMI.
You can also use a Bluetooth keyboard, Mouse or Airpad depending on your
preference, personally I like to have all 3 devices on hand depending on
what App I'm running obviously.
I don't know of the other boxes you've mentioned though I am interested,
do these boxes come wiht Tuners to receive FTA TV built-in? Obviously
the Sony set does along with a couple of USB ports and 4 HDMI input
ports - how many damn HDMI ports does none need <smile> -
Installing Apps is easy enough it seems, you can't get too far without
having a Google account and thus access to the Google Play Store. If
you'd rather not install Apps that way and download them yourself then
you can place them on a USB stick and use a File Browser App to find the
downloaded Apps and install that way.

I'm on a very high traffic android list, and there has lately been
discussion of android tv boxes, but not an actual tv set, on that list.
People have had issues making certain services that are not directly
from google, such as Netflix, work at all with talkback. Devices
discussed include the nexus, Shield and another one that is something
like metracom, but I'm sure I've got that spelled wrong. How much did
this Sony android set set you back? No pun intended.
