This is why comparing wifi experience is meaningless lol.
Everyone’s is different. Whether it’s the hardware, environment, or how it’s even been set up.

I run an M1 now, and it is absolutely incredible - quiet, smooth, 0 issues with any of the features I use. That said, I do not believe I'm using Quicksync, as in general everything is watched on wired devices.
Not me, it's beautiful how it takes media from different sources and combines it if it's the same.
It continues to surprise me that there isn't an official or even unofficial list of hardware and hardware configurations on this site that are known to work with Channels.
I'm someone that's been using Channels for a few years now and even I had to put far too much effort into it than I should have to find out if the newer Chromecast with Google TV would support Channels after I was unable to use the Channels client MiBox. I figured that all the low-cost AndroidTV boxes would be similarly poor. To my surprise, it and others (Tivo 4k) worked just fine. If I'd have known that it worked I'd have made the switch much earlier.
I can only imagine how intimidating it must be for a less technical or newbie user to want to buy into Channels but be unsure of exactly what they need. Sometimes just the knowledge that something should work is all you need to figure out that thbe problem is caused by something else, such as underperforming WI-FI or ethernet, rather than your Channels configuration.
it's been on the site since day one. You can’t miss it when you sign up, but you seem to have.
A DVR is actually very resource independent. The only real bottleneck is hardware I/O bandwidth. As long as your device can support simultaneous reads and writes, it's good.
This is like asking why Microsoft doesn't maintain an official list of motherboard and hard drive combinations that can run Windows. It would be equally pointless and impossible.

How about posting the link instead of being condescending?

(As an aside, this topic has gone way off-topic from the OP. Is there any valid reason to keep it open?
I'll check back in 48 hours, and if there is no response from the OP, or a reason to maintain the topic, it will be closed.)
no one was being condescending but how about doing the work yourself, dick.
There are not that many devices out there. It could be done on the forum here with input from the community. There's no reason someone shouldn't be able to find whether GoogleTV runs the Android Client successfully to watch TV and that the Mibox doesn't and so forth.
It would get a bit more complex with some installations, but not impossible to have recommended configurations that work.
I mean, Channels works perfectly fine on any of the generally available streaming devices we support. Things like the MiBox aren’t really an option for most people, and certainly not the kodi box versions of android.
Name calling too, nice.
