I replaced my Roku with one of these. Best decision I ever made. Can't really explain it, but it's so much better. Faster UI, plays my Plex media directly with no transcoding, excellent sound, did I mention a better, very responsive UI? I will never go back to something else.

I'm an Apple TV fan.

Tried a Shield, didn't care for it. I had the weenie version though.

Its weird that after all these years the shieldTV is still one of the best if not the best android tv console. That said, If I had to buy today, might as well go apple.
