The Shield TV is one of the better TV boxes. In fact, the Apple TV and the Shield TV are the only TV boxes I would ever use, if I had to use one. I'm very happy with my custom HTPC though.

Fair enough, although I might add that there is not a better way to run Kodi but HTPC, even when the Shield is more than a capable client, it sucks from time to time, I blame the limited RAM of the device.

The HTPC solution is not for everyone, but I'm really enthusiastic about my setup, so it's my preferred way of consuming media on a TV. The Shield TV is totally fine though.
