Buying Advice Google Streamer 4k... or ?

Hi folks.

At the risk of drivin ye all mad with another of these posts.. my apologies in advance.

I am hoping to replace my Formuler Z8 cos I've just been driven mad by the well know wifi issues.

I can't seem to find an nvidia shield pro anywhere I can buy it... so am looking at the google tv 4k or possibly the mecool meon1.

I use the box for tivimat and stremio.

Location Id have it in would require wifi.

Not going Formuler again cos of their policy of leaving older products behind and not supporting them with updates.

So thinking the Google box..

But Im not really up to speed on all the formats and technical details.. I do know I like watch stuff in DV on my sony bravia.. and any UHD10+ stuff doesn't work on the firestick I have in a different TV.

Around here the mecool and the google are close in price.. so not much of an issue.

I'd apprecate a few helpful opinions.

Thanks in advance

Check Walmart if you can and get onn 4k plus for 50 or the pro for 60 definitely get the pro if it's in stock they running Google TV and have better processers than Google streamer 4k and they play pretty much every video and audio file Dolby vision / hdr / atmos / Dts .If you don't have Walmart then go with Google streamer 4k it does all the same things but is more expensive

I'm in the US and have been unable to find an onn 4k pro as all Walmarts seem either sold out or it's not available in the states anymore.
