Which android tv box/stick?

I think many here are suggesting Roku because that is all they know. I have experience with WDTV Live, Roku, Boxee, Slingbox, xbmc, and many htpc setups.

Don't assume. I have experience with the Roku, WDTV Live, Boxee, HTPC, and others and nothing else offers the breath of channels offered by the Roku. The WDTV Live is a pretty good (only the most popular channels) internet video player and a middling good (no DTSHD-MA, only vanilla DTS) network media player but it's not a best of breed for either. It's like like a Swiss Army Knife with lots of tools but like a Swiss Army Knife none of the tools are as good as specialized products. The Roku rules internet streaming and either a HTPC or the now discontinued NeoTV550 rule network streaming. That said the WDTV Live is a very good compromise if you don't need state of the art. On the other hand a WDTV Live is a great compromise between an internet streaing video player and a network media player - as long as you don't need anything it doesn't offer.

It doesn't seem to matter though because the OP seems determined to make Android work.

You are correct that rokus are good choices for netflix type streaming. I should have clarified that I already own two older rokus, two blu-rays with netflix type features, and one owned the WDTV and the sony equivalent (forgot its name).

We cut directv about a year ago, so I'm just at the point where were running out of stuff to watch on the streaming services. Im hoping that with web access, we can find more browser based programming to watch.

I might just need to get a HTPC for this, as it sounds like the android sticks have issues.
