I did that, but at the end of the day, I find the experience of the Shield TV better.

The Shield TV is one of the better TV boxes. In fact, the Apple TV and the Shield TV are the only TV boxes I would ever use, if I had to use one. I'm very happy with my custom HTPC though.

Fair enough, although I might add that there is not a better way to run Kodi but HTPC, even when the Shield is more than a capable client, it sucks from time to time, I blame the limited RAM of the device.

The HTPC solution is not for everyone, but I'm really enthusiastic about my setup, so it's my preferred way of consuming media on a TV. The Shield TV is totally fine though.
