I don’t quite understand the appeal of a streaming box in most cases. What is the appeal?
Of course it depends on the OS, but when NVIDIA started showing ads I installed a 3rd party launcher. It also allows me to install apps that block and skip ads on a major streaming platform. And, if I upgrade my TV I'm not entering my info into a new system, I just plug in the Shield.
Yup FLauncher, SmartTube, Stremio, and steam for game streaming from my PC to living room.
