  • Hmmm.... I do have a spare OK-at-the-time-but-old laptop with a broken screen.

    It's the overall UI/UX(?) though. I want something that just turns on when I press the remote and doesn't need trouble shooting.

    You know what, I'll just wait till we agree on the design of our TV unit, I've built it, and we've bought a new TV. Then I'll lobby for a Shield only to be shot down because the TV is a smart one.

    It's a shame people say the Apple TV gets all funny with Kodi's sound, as the remote and interface is great. Although I guess you've then got the risk of Apple introducing some bullshit down the line.

  • Have you looked at LibreElec? It's a Linux distro built specifically to run Kodi only. Install that on your broken laptop and use it as the media centre.
