An hour ago I ordered a Roku Premiere plus refurbished by Roku $68.64 to my door, this gets me HDR and Dolby Vision, plus HDR from Amazon Video. I read everything I could find about the Air Tv Box, no indication that it does HDR.

Don't recall any roku box supporting Dolby vision. Maybe I missed it.
No hdr on airtv. That's not a deal breaker. I have hdr elsewhere when needed. The complete integration is what I liked about airtv.

Would this box offer any advantage over Roku or Fire TV other then a channel guide integration?
I guess the biggest thing would be OTA integration, unless that was what you were referring to with the "guide integration" statement you mentioned. When used with the AirTV OTA Adapter, The AirTV allows you to view your local OTA channels and integrates them into the SlingTV Program Guide.
Yes, that is what I was referring to. That would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure it would be worth even the discounted price of $50 for that alone. Can anyone speak to quality/strength of the OTA tuner?
I will say it's better than my tablo was and the samsung tv built in tuner.

I don't know if that's really an advantage though.Yes its a Google TV box.(Basically an unlocked FireTV box.)
You can sideload any app on the fire TV with little effort.
And if you have prime already, the fire TV has great integration with that service.

Even the new one? Interesting. The Fire is among the fastest boxes I have tried, especially after the UI update.
Yes. I have the latest firetv and this box is way faster and more responsive

So it has 2 usb ports. If the OS upgrades to Nougat 7.0 which adds dvr support. You can't add an external Harddrive to record Ota?
If it's an Android TV box, does that mean the PS Vue app for Android will work on it? I know I probably won't get OTA integration with Vue's guide, but if I still can use the OTA tuner separately...
Ps Vue has not released an app for the Android TV platform yet. But if they did then it would work.

So even though Air TV is being discussed here as an Android TV device, it's not compatible with the PS Vue Android app for tablets, phones, smart TVs running on the Android platform or the Nvidia Shield? (I've been watching Vue on my Android tablet since last fall.)
