This is a very old topic, With IPTV you can now forget Firesticks.
I have a Nvidia shield & Thomson Streaming Box 270UK Plus (Google os), the latter is cheaper and works very well.
In the future updates will be pushed to android (like extra features during Covid, they silently installed) This will make it harder to install 3rd party apps, more an inconvenience at 1st but thats just the start, eventually apps will be locked to the play store only.
With this in mind between 2-10 years time you will need root access to your android box to install iptv apps, is root needed atm, no.
