How accessible are these set-top boxes to someone who is visually
impaired? Meaning can you receive a new one, unpack it, connect it to
your TV (Using HDMI cable) and have no problem setting it up? I was
able to do that very thing with my AppleTV 3rd and 4th generation.
And I really hope the Google Talk functionality of these set-top
boxes isn't like what I experienced on my Amazon Fire tablet. I mean
the audio accessibility of these tablets is simply... BRUITAL!
I'm more interested in watching (Listening) to MLB, NBA & NFL game
broadcasts from other cities. What would you consider the best, most
accessible set-top box on the market today (I'm in the U.S by the way.)

No, the boxes I'm talking about are set-top boxes, not full tvs. The
Shield, which is the most expensive of the lot, runs $200 or so. The
nexus is the original one from google, and rumor has it that a new one
will be forthcoming this year. It was selling quite cheap over here a
few months back, on clearance, I suspect. And the Metracom, or however
it is spelled, runs around $100 or a tad less on amazon. My husband
actually bought one of them, because he wanted to experiment with Kody.
Again, these are strictly set top boxes, more like the Apple tv in that
respect, rather than being a full tv set. How android tv may differ in
these boxes from android tv in your set, I have no idea. Both the
shield and the metracom are advertised as coming with lolly pop version
of android tv, so it seems like they should be the same, just based on
that, and supposedly the two newer devices are in line for the upgrade
to android 6.0.
