Wife plays several games on hers too so it gives her a complete package of things to do when she wants to veg.

I found any of the x9 boxes to be generally crap. My dad runs one still, I'd sent a couple different ones back because they tend to frame skip every few seconds. Processing power (despite what they claim) was really not good for some applications. Add to that the LAN port on them behaved like a 10Mbit, no matter the configuration killed it for me.
The Shield is still the best overall box you can buy, but its spendy. The Mibox has lots of good feedback and is much cheaper.

I don't know where your firestick is kept that it overheats, that's strange. I run 4 of them now, and that's all we watch TV on (Netflix, Prime, Kodi and eternal), and even when they are left on streaming, they never even blip on any of the apps or content. I am surprised at the power of the little thing. The Wifi strength on it is amazing (see the above LAN comment), even my TV with the apps built in is hardwired, but the firestick always performs flawlessly. My real knock on it is the lack of 4k (so I typically switch to the TV baked in Netflix for 4k content), but hopefully Amazon will eventually offer the 4k stick up here.
