Android TV isn't really ubiquitous enough to support the apps I use anyway. I wish they wouldn't bother, but I guess they are easy enough to ignore and pretend they don't exist.

I have a Sony X900H and the processor in it is surprisingly good. I have no issues with UI slowness or freezing apps that I get with the Hisense (also Android TV), and it can even run most of the same game emulators that the Shield can. A Shield is still hands down the best streaming hardware you can get, but the Sony TV's are close enough (at least the higher end ones) that it doesn't make sense to shell out another $200
Both the high end LG and Samsung TV's have decent processors on them as well, so if they switched to Android they'd perform far closer to the Shield than a Fire TV stick
