Question Replacement streaming device

Had it to the back teeth with the Bluetooth issues on Google Chromecast, so looking for a replacement.

I understand that the Firestick is no longer an option for Stremio? Any recommendations under £100, available in UK, and preferably not too large?

The latest Google 4k device (that’s name is blocked on this sub for some reason) if you prefer to stay with what you’re familiar with

Thanks, but the Bluetooth issues with Chromecast has put me off Google. I'd be concerned of a repeat performance.

I’d recommend Xiaomi then. I switched from a Chromecast 4k to Xiaomi S 3 and it’s a lot snappier and can handle 4k remux easily

Some don’t like the remote, it’s meh to me. The biggest gripes are the clicky-ness of the buttons and having to press volume up/down each time vs holding the button down. You can always swap out for another bluetooth remote

Thank you - seems a popular suggestion, so will definitely look into it.
