LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Introduced at the 2016 CES, Consumer Electronics Show, the new SmartStick Media Center supports full android giving it more streaming apps and channels than any other streaming device. It unifies search and discovery from over 100 popular streaming sources including YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Sling TV. Shake the remote to activate the air mouse and go from media center to full Android PC mode.

"Apps are rapidly changing how we watch our favorite movies and tv shows. We've quickly gone from a Netflix, Hulu world to having endless free, subscription, and rental options at our disposal. Having unlimited options for viewing our favorite content is a beautiful thing, but sifting through endless apps can be very frustrating and costly. This is why SmartStick is changing the game....no more guesswork jumping from app to app trying to see who has what....streaming simplified" –Jeremy Yakel, CEO of FAVI ENTERTAINMENT

Quickly access all the best movies and TV series, view by channel, or search using the remote control keyboard. Get all available options on how to watch, sorted by free, subscription, rent and purchase availability. This avoids the "walled garden" experience by letting the user decide how they want to stream.

For example, once a user selects a movie or TV show, it will provide the user with available viewing sources:

"Free" i.e. Crackle, Break.com, etc.
"Subscription" i.e. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.
"Rent or Purchase" i.e. Google Play Movies & TV, Vudu, etc.
