interesting, may have to look into that. I really should take some photos of my setup, I have;
In cupboard upstairs
1 x Router
1 x 48 port switch
1 x 8 port POE switch (powers the on ceiling access points)
1 X master sky q box which links via cat6 to TV in lounge
1 x mini sky q box which links to master bedroom via cat 6
1 x mini sky q box which links to 2 x bedrooms, kitchen and office, via cat 6 and special splitter
4 x mini amps, each with a hardwired chromecast audio, each linking to a different room in the house via hardwired speaker cableThen in my office I have a qnap 4 bay NAs with 32tb of storage, linked to a mac mini which works as my plex server.
Then dotted through the house are 3 x google home mini and one standard Google Home. Also have 2 x Nests, one controls hot water & middle floor, the other controls ground floor underfloor heating and loft room heating.
Smart lighting and switches are next on my list...

That's a hell of a lot of ports.
I chose to terminate the Sky boxes, they don't give you control over the DNS resolvers and I wanted to just get the Sky box in bridge mode except they don't permit that either. So instead I just replaced all of their hardware.

4 x mini amps
Which ones are you using? Are you powering the audiocast from a 5v rail in the amps?

The Nvidia Shield has a a great little remote, and was one of the things that really sold the system to my wife who did not want to be mucking around with apps and she wanted a simple nice and tactile remote.
