  shield is amazing. Chromecast worked until I tried the shield. sure 4x the cost, but damn it’s fast and upscales.

  I’d love a fairphone, pixle type android tv that I can root and remove all google services from. Shield is where it’s at, but it’s a bit old and even without Google it’s still going to be sending data to them.

    Shield + lineageos seems like it would do the trick

    You can root the Shield, and while it’s older, its more than capable. Better than many new devices.
