The Sheild with Implayer and Tivimate is good, but for end user viewing experience the Z11 beats it. The fully featured remote is a godsend.

I bought the AM8 when it was released and can’t fault it for my use.
Like I said if the Z11 had Dolby Vision.... I'd be all over it in a heartbeat... I doubt they ever will though because of licensing... but man, it'd be a super solid box. I keep hoping that the Z12 or whatever is next someday will have it. It'd make for the perfect box for me
I thought from what you said in earlier posts you wanted a certified device for official app support.
Yeah I should clarify.... Sorry. Ideally a box would be certified. But to be honest... the most important things for me are full audio passthrough, the ability to play DV and Atmos through my local Emby server on the device as well as solid for IPTV. Certified is nice because I just feel like they get more regular updates and work a little better (maybe that's just a mental thing though). No matter how much stuff I throw on my Emby server... the one app my wife still uses is Netflix lol. So certified for that does help me... but the reality is if it does the other things perfectly... we can sacrifice. I have messed around with boxes with Coreelec for local playback. Which is pretty awesome.... just then either need to switch for IPTV or have a second device which IMO defeats the purpose of having one "amazing" device.
Yeah a certified device is going to limit your choices but you don’t need a certified device to have Dolby vision support.
