There are alternatives that are actually superior to Shield in almost every way now. For example, the Homatics Box R 4k Plus / Dune HD / Nokia 8010 / RockTek G2 devices.

I also have the latest Apple TV, which is great from a hardware perspective. But the usability is trash. Apple's remote is overly simple so sometimes the button with the TV shape is to move back a screen and sometimes it's to go back to the main TV menu. What? It's incredibly not intuitive to navigate. The extra specs are wholly unnecessary for a simply streaming box and Apple's closed system is a PITA for folks who wanna run a Kodi setup or a personal PLEX server in the house. I can't download IPTV apps for legal IPTV services I subscribe to (pro tip: all streaming live content is IPTV at the fundamental level) and you can't side load to try cool mods which fit your use case. You can do all that with Nvidia. It's the single best streaming device on the market when you consider price against quality of workmanship, risk reduced parts and programming because of who makes it and knowing Nvidia actually has a legit license to use Android, so we can rest assure we will get updates, warranty, knowing Nvidia will be there tomorrow for support, etc.
Only one that will reliably provide that function I can guarantee you... Every other app it's a constant cat and mouse game and just not worth it...
I'm aa cheap as the next guy but I don't find the money spent on premium to be at all a bad investment especially when you take into account the entire music streaming service it comes with and even more so when you split the cost between 5 people like I do!
Family plan ends up costing each of us like 3 bucks and change I just give my "family member" $45 every Christmas and we all keep streaming along happily and ad free.
usually bash apple echo chamber clowns.. but the ppl who keep saying this is worth it at this price are even worse. this thing should be $79

Also, GeForce Now is starting to support 4k @ 120Hz which won't work on the Shield TV.
If you have a 4k @ 60Hz TV and like to use Crunchyroll and HIDIVE the AI upscaling NVIDIA uses works really well with Anime as they mainly stream in 1080p.
No FEL DV
No VP9.2
No HDR10+
No WiFi6
There are a number of current streamers that support lossless audio passthrough. There is so much outdated misinformation being posted by all the Shield owners.

There is the additional cost of a Plex Pass for hardware transcoding which is free on the Shield Pro.
