There needs to be a new shield. I would like not to have to use apple or google and still get decent spec.and no ads

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ok, but will you pay $1000 for that?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why would it cost that? Neither of the big names have a device at that price point in that space.

Yeah I'd love to get away from my fire TV which has become a piece of adware shit over the last years. But I don't want to pay top dollar (150€ more or less, 230€ for the pro) for a shield with 7 years old hardware that doesn't even support AV1.

I wish there were other decent options. The apple TV is also ancient hardware for today's price and I don't see much else on the market that isn't riddled with ads.
