I received it today, and it works very well. Setup took under 30 minutes.

The TorGuard Android TV app nor the SVT Play app are not listed in the Google Play Store for Android TV (searching did not bring them up), so I had to use Chrome to search for the apps on Google then trigger the install by clicking on the Google Play Store link. A third app (CMore) had to be fully sideloaded.

The TorGuard app allows for automatic start on reboot as well as automatic login; therefore, if I ever need to reboot the device, it will automagically (in theory) connect to the Swedish VPN.

On my laptop, I went to SVTPlay.se to see which shows are geo-restricted. On the Android TV box, I was able to play the shows without any issues.

Well worth the price and effort (aka happy wife, happy life

).
