Find an ethernet USB hub here: http://lon.tv/ethernethub (affiliate link) - NOTE the original link was to a product that proven to be not compatible. This link is for the exact model I referenced in the video. I have found that performance is better on AC wireless with the Mibox vs. ethernet, see more in this followup: https://youtu.be/mVSD3plzvP4
ERRATA: Voice search is universal, see here: https://youtu.be/39vfBr7UE-c
For the price point this is a decent value. It brings a very useful Android device with the official Android TV interface at a price point well below $100. But this comes at the cost of performance and features that enthusiasts might be looking for.
The biggest issue for enthusiasts is that it doesn't appear to automatically switch to 24p for movies and it doesn't output lossless audio formats like DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. I also found its 4k playback performance with YouTube and Netflix to be lacking in that it will occasionally drop frames.
But for general consumers this is a good box that will bring a lot of great Android features to a television set for a low price. It's a decent retro emulation box too (for 70/80/90's era consoles and arcade machines).
