Only if you care about DRM services. For just running Kodi, you can just buy or use any decent PC.

I liked my shield because it's plug and play, tiny, silent, hardware support for most codecs, with a simple interface. Used are also on eBay under £50, which is tough to beat as an option.

Yeah probably worth picking up a used shield. Thanks.

Or even the Shield TV Tube. People shit on it but mine runs like a dream. 4k remuxes and everything. As long as I use it only as a client it works fantastic.
