Is the nvidia shield TV still the go-to box for streaming content to your TV?

I don't really need much, just something that can pick up jellyfin. hulu/HBO/etc. is a bonus

I've been using an Nvidia Shield TV Pro for a while, and hardware-wise it's still amazing. But with the way the OS is going, I can't recommend it to anyone anymore, not for that price. I basically had to stop updating any of the system stuff so it doesn't plaster my TV screen with ads.

I use the shield with an alternative front end/launcher.

Yes, there are (so far) ways to get around it for more technically skilled people, but you also have to sacrifice some features like the home screen channels (or updates). But you shouldn't have to do that on a device in that price-segment, and I don't want to support a product that employs such anti-consumer tactics with my recommendation.

IIUC you can flash LineageOS on the shield (if you try, let us know how it goes)
