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.

Put KODI on it. Best box ever
I have a single regular Nvidia shield and I wouldn't recommend that one. I have issues with it freezing.
Glad the cube works for you, fantastic. Great that we have choices, maybe in the future it will be worth it for me. For now, no way.
$170 on sale - Shield Pro with Plex Server running on it.
$130 on sale Costco - Seagate 8TB External HD (265 MKV movies with lossless audio at 25-40GB avg size) hook up to Shield Pro. Add another drive if needed...Shield pro has 2 USBs.
$130 - External Asus Bluray Libredrive enabled drive to rip.
Around $330 to have an excellent lossless home streamer and still less expensive than both a NAS and Kaleidescape.

I had the og 2015 Shield TV till this year, the newer ones use almost the same specs, very minor tweaks.
I loved the support for all these years, can't say the gamepads were great though.
This is not a bad product but something that has shown it's justified age a bit and which should be way cheaper now. Heck the intro price in 2015 was US$199.99.
Wish Nvidia update this, maybe it'll be after the Switch Pro or whatever Nintendo releases that uses Nvidia tech.
If anyone has a better recommendation to direct steam PLEX to my TV for cheap and not taking up too much space in the cabinet below my TV, I'm all ears. But for now, I'm a fan and have had good success.
Worth noting: HULU app has been frustrating on this, but I'm able to stream/cast from my phone to Shield easily without issues.
I get very good WiFi speeds on my Shield Pro since following this advice.
