I can vouch for the quality of the Shield TV Pro, except they did put some ads on the home screen in the past couple years when they had their first big update in a long time if not ever. It does come with a steeper price tag, but for me it was worth it.

I'll have to give this a try. Honestly, I watch 90% of my media on my computer these days, but I do get to the TV occasionally, and my wife uses it. This looks nice and clean.

FLauncher is another clean option that I used to use before ditching the Android TV box.

I didn't expect to come away from this post with homework, but here we are. All good stuff though.
