    I didn’t say they’re the cheapest, just that the boxes I’m personally aware of with this problem are white box rebranded ATVs.

    But I haven’t looked through the entire list, so it’s entirely possible that some other more well-known and “respectable” device brands are also compromised. If you have an Android TV box, you should probably search the list to find out.

        Right, and I was trying to subtly tell you that you were wrong and that your inaccurate description borders on disinformation, as many of the rebranded white box Android TVs cost more than popular Play Certified Android TV devices, and include better hardware specs.
