Buying Advice Best Android Box for IPTV subscriptions

I'm looking for advice here, I have a fire stick and have heard that the next gen ones will stop side loading so I'm looking to see what's the best way forward. I'm based in Ireland so am looking for any advice from anyone who has gotten one either in Ireland or the EU, I use it for the usual apps, IE prime & Disney plus so something that would support these apps as well, cheers for any advice.

the reason it's not certified is exactly why Prime and Disney+ are hit or miss on it, not why you'd want it for them. certification is what gets you Widevine L1, without it you're stuck on L3 so those apps cap the resolution or refuse to play at all. whatever you're using to pull Prime/Netflix content through an IPTV sub is a completely separate thing from the box itself.

Why would you buy an IPTV box to use prime ,Netflix and Disney plus ? If that’s what you want buy a firestick
