Really? I’m skeptical. Long time shield pro and shield owner and most of us love the thing but it’s kind of a hackers toy and we usually have something to bitch about with it too.
Mine needs fairly frequent resets and has some funky ethernet connection behavior and both devices have had some weird behavior with projectivity launcher startup.
Getting to ops point though, I would wait a few months and see what the next apple TV release coming up looks like. Expectations are low but if it doesn’t completely dissapoint, I am actually considering it in hopes of that butter smooth performance.
Interesting, I’ve never had any issues with it really. The only thing I suppose is that Hulu acts odd on a very rare occasion but that’s a Hulu app problem. It’s our main “TV” system. Netflix, Hulu, stremio, prime, etc. are all flawless. I could see it being a hackers toy but I’ve kept it stock. Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, whatever, has always been flawless. I’ve also only been on WiFi and streaming anything hasn’t been an issue.
Yeah Hulu is buggy on a lot of things but notoriously terrible on Shield and has been for years. It almost feels like they’re trying to break it on Shield. Years of hulu updates and you think one would maybe accidentally improve it’s performance at least.
My pro is aging a little better than my shield tube but I’m still partial to the wacky rugged design of the tube.

I’ve been rocking a shield pro for years, never had in issue. Still runs butter smooth.
