Out of curiosity why are you reluctant to buy a Shield?

I was on the fence for a while but I've been extremely happy with it and have only run into minimal issues (and significantly less than with my smart tv before).

I have a shield. Without setting up a custom launcher it is an ad ridden privacy nightmare (by default). Even though I spent a comparatively large amount of money for old hardware, I still get bloat.

But I don't know any better option that is easy to use and has a simple android box like remote so. :/
