These are the services I use, in order of priority: Now TV, Netflix, Amazon Video, BT Sport, BBC IPlayer, 4OD, ITV Hub, My5.
Rather annoyingly Amazon Video isn't supported by Chromecast, nor will it which the channel if you use its app to cast to something to a Fire TV stick.
So I am looking for the features in this priority order:
1. Supports all the services I use (I will accept BT sport as the exception - just about)
2. Fast interface (if there is one)
3. Ability to turn on/off the TV and some sort of volume control
4. Support for control through Google Home...I can say 'play big bang theory' and it will switch on the TV, turn the channel and play the program
5. Control through an app for Android
I don't mind a combination of devices, but when I play something I expect the channel to change to the correct one etc...
