The Shield is still a better Kodi SPMC(Jarvis) & Android TV Apps device, pity about its 2017 remote :-(
Not many people seem to like the capacitive touch Volume controls either.

The rest are normal normal Xiaomi gear that will not get you what you want. It is VERY easy to buy the wrong box, as there are so many different varients of them that look exactly the same.(2017-01-17, 16:11)wrxtasy Wrote: The Mi Box desperately needs Kodi dynamic refresh rate switching & Hardware deinterlacing working, if you need TV in Kodi.

Ok it will be chinese on the interface but we preinstall Kodi !!!
I do not need TV so I don t care about desinterlacing

1) it's far more powerful (3-4x)
2) I got a $20 employee discount (Amazon), and Prime shipping
3) for $110 extra than the Mi Box (delivered), ~$40-50 of that would have been for a controller (which comes with the Shield anyway).
Thanks for the help thus far
