Yes - it does not play nice at all :)  MythTV would also lock up frequently
when liveTV and recording conflicts occured while using the Kodi Plugin,
but adding another HDHomeun for LiveTV only fixed that.  I was just
throwing that out there that AndroidTV will go out and find them and
automatically get guide data, etc.  I eventually put the shields on their
own subnet and used avahi so I could manage who could see what mDNS stuff
across subnets.  No more issues - my friend who I set this up for just
could not break his family of starting that damn "Watch TV" app on the
shields :)
