What would you recommend for an Android-based TV streaming box? I'm looking for a few features:

HDMI out (but I think it's a fair bet that they all do).
Isn't locked in to some oddball proprietary app store, but is standard Android that allows for easy sideloading of APK app files.
Can use a large-capacity external USB drive for storage, say several TB.
Has the CPU power to decode a bunch of older video formats in addition to the hardware-decoded modern ones.
Is a current model that's likely to get updates for a few years or so.
Is priced somewhere near or below $100CAD.
Has reliable wifi and bluetooth.
