One of the concerns is the current state of “privacy” with these devices. Interesting that you can mod the Shield (as mentioned by a couple of others as well). Good to know, even if I get one just to tinker / experiment. Thank you so much!
Comment on AppleTV complete replacement opinions

Not sure if it’s a factor for you but roku tries to phone home a lot more than. Anything else on my network (or perhaps my firewall just catches it more than other devices and apps). Otherwise roku is pretty good.
Nvidia shield tv is better though. It’s the best set top box. Made even better by replacing the default launcher/ home screen (android TV default launcher now has 2/3 or more of the screen taken up by ads or “recommended content” which is just ads)

Yes that’s a concern with all of them, Apple TV included.

Agreed, Apple is not above scrutiny on the privacy front. Appreciate the response.
