5 years ago - Fire TV
- Can't get officially in Canada
- Not a "real" Android TV device (it uses Android, it connects to a TV, I think it uses the AOSP TV stuff, but it's not one of https://www.android.com/tv/ and it has some custom Amazon stuff)
- Fire TV Stick (4k?) ✅
- Hey it's available in Canada
- It's cheap as hell and apparently current gen can sideload Android apps
- It's got a mere 1 GB RAM and a 1.7 GHz CPU. Which might actually be great since testing on more marginal hardware is helpful
- Also not a "real" Android TV device
- Shield TV
- official Android TV
- Expensive
- Won't use it outside of dev because my PC is already connected to the TV so eh

- official Android TV
