The dual boot MECOOL devices with inbuilt SPDIF are the closest solution you are likely to get for your requirements for use with an external TV tuner / server.
LibreELEC on such devices will handle anything you throw at it.
Otherwise it's is a HDMI > SPDIF audio extractor, which then complicate matters due to HDCP and you have to be really careful to get a known working setup.
The Shield does not do 1080i output.
SPDIF really is limiting your hardware choices.
If you want Frame Rate matching for Netflix, Amazon, iTunes & more, there is only one solution - the Apple TV 4/4K
