    So it could get the same update that makes the launcher an ad-riddled cesspit?

    How easy are these devices to root and install alternative roms? Are there alternative roms available to install?

    I really wish these devices were more like desktop computers. I want the freedom to install anything I want.

      What I posted is a generic Android TV box that you can switch launchers and stuff on. The Shield is so popular and is/was the only good STB that they pumped it full of ads, just like any other popular platform.

      IDK the modability of it, but it’s gotta be better than what I have currently.
