The shield is a great device, but I’m starting to notice some considerable lag at times.

Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative?

I have an older Apple TV I’m going to try but I’d prefer to stay Android.

Features I’d want are

  • Android TV
  • Netflix and Jellyfin support
  • Powerful / fast
  • Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I’m not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

    @lazynooblet I’ve been looking at this as my 2019 pro is starting to show it’s age as well… I’ve been looking at picking up an intel n150 box and either putting android x86 on it (kinda worried that will be a shit show tho) or just making kodi my frontend for it… or kde big screen. but yeah… haven’t pulled the trigger. getting a fast usb stick helped

      I just bought a new 2019 Pro, will see how that goes. I’m told the Apple TV stuff is snappy, but it’s Apple.

      x86 would be great but Netflix only support listed hardware so might not be wife proof
