Used a fire TV stick for a long time but multiple factors made me finally switch to an Nvidia shield.

Worked great for a year and then an OS updated made the home screen 60% ads, especially those that started to play with sound when I was on them for like 2 milliseconds. Installed projectify on it and now I only see what I want to see.

It is always disturbing to me how much ads I see when I am using someone else's system, because I banned everything at home.
