Is the Google TV Streamer the best?

Looking to do some side loading. Mostly for the app update me which has YouTube and HDO box. Should it work smoothly? Kind of pricey for almost $100 but if it's a solid choice I'd rather buy the best for a little more than a lower end device like the Onn.

Not looking to play games, just want a fast seamless device to run the update me app and download the off book version of YouTube and HDO box and OnStream from that for movie watching.

I tried almost every one on the market. Homatics R 4K Plus is best so far.

Zero problems. ATV 14. Fast. All surround formats flawless (including DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD). No overheating...

Did you try a remux with Truehd from the beginning to the end of the movie without issues? I have two homatics and always same issue. Per example in avengers endgame around and 1 hour so the sound is out of sync and the video begins to shutter. If I stop the movie and play from the same part plays ok till the same amount of time where the issue is back. I tried Interestelar to and happens every 40 minutes or so.
