RockTek G2 Review - Can it compete with the Shield and Apple TV?

The Rocktek G2 (https://amzn.to/47MqxYI) is a Nvidia Shield Pro or Apple TV 4k alternative that has a lot of the features of the Shield Pro but at a lower price. It runs stock Android TV, which is my favorite operating system for a streaming box. Get a 10% discount with the promo code 10upscaled (valid until 9/21/23).

Android TV boxes are devices that run on the Android operating system and are designed to turn your regular television into a smart TV. They offer access to a wide range of apps, streaming services, games, and other content directly on your TV screen. These devices typically connect to your TV via HDMI and provide internet connectivity through Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
