They're pretty solid honestly. I chose a shield over one bc at the time I wanted some apps that required side loading, but now that I have an emby server that's moot. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the touch remote, but they still have a remote app so I can just use my phone instead.

Good to know the current boxes still work with the old remotes, thanks for sharing!
