A quick question about the shield.
Planing to replace my Raspberry Pi with Openelec with a Nvidia Shield TV, going only to use it for Kodi and not using the other features. Something very important to me is the picture quality. How is the picture quality of this unit? Will I see any difference between my setup I am using today, and the planned new one?

Hey all,
Have been running KODI for home theatre for a few years on an HP multimedia laptop and was pleased, but had some challenges, and it always seemed to crap out (Windows that is) when my wife was watching. So I started looking for a new box and a couple of weeks ago made a trip to the US (I am in Canada) and got the Nvidia Shield. All I can say is wow, what a great box for $200. So after a few days playing and testing I am very pleased. (I also picked up a QNAP TS-251+ NAS and have been migrating my external USB-2 drives to the NAS and it feels like Christmas.)
Any how, the reason I post is I just figured out how to make a sub menu (my skin is Helly's Xonfluence) with all the Android apps in it! So I don't need to leave Kodi, go to the Android TV main screen and then find my app and launch it, then reverse the steps back. I just open the submenu (could be a main menu of course) and there the all are, including netflix, and I am set. After I am done I then exit back into KODI.
I am sure many here have already figured this out but I had not seen it posted, so I thought I would share for those folks. And I am sure it can be done with any other skin. The Kodi Command is ActivateWindow(Programs,Android apps,return).
