Is back to Android boxes ?

Mine is still fine....for now. I'm sure at some point, you won't be able to use a firestick anymore, I've a few mates who have already moved across to an NVIDIA Sheild (I think) and they reckon it's decent. I'll wait for my firestick(s) to stop working before I make the leap though

pretty much, shouldn't be too much of a problem for a tech-wizard like yourself though

In the main mine is but just don't think it always agrees with the virgin media router, even when using for legit reasons 

Firestick says there's updates but I ain't touching them just in case 

Have the dodgy app on my phone so if the firestick does play up I just cast it to the telly

An android box but theres nowt wrong with a fire stick if your provider is half decent which it seems many aren't.

Correct. I've ditched all my FS's as I suspect Amazon IMO are going to update them to stop side loading. When I used FS's I had all the privacy settings off as it reports back by default all your settings. I know theres millions using a FS's and that a lot of data being sent and stored, but it doesn't take them much to run some queries esp with the help of AI.

I've gone with a Thomson Streaming Box 270 but there's Xiaomi TV Box S & NVIDIA SHIELD. All the apps are on google play.

anyone have issues with Vodaphone at certain times on a Sunday, or is it a myth the limit broadband? Do I need a new stick/provider?

I've never noticed a problem on a Sunday with Vodaphone to be honest

Some of us will never use Vodafone.
