[Koying]

I guess it's pointing to the fact that the channels must be pre-populated before they can be added to the home screen now, as I told you.
Once the channel has been added from the shield beta (they only added this "feature" at the last minute) you won't notice, but you couldn't add new ones, as Kodi only populated the channels *once they were added*, based on how it worked then.

It's the same on the mi box, so it's clearly a last minute change from google, nvidia is not to blame (besides shipping a final version different from the beta).
Pretty stupid to force using resources to populate channels that might never be used, imao, but hey...

Although I indicated what had to be done, this hasn't been fixed in master, yet, apparently.
