I took a chance and did delete the 64bit version of mythfrontend from my 
Shield TV and installed the 32bit version 
(mythfrontend-20200716-arm-v31.0-79-g89d1991ef2.apk).  It worked, but 
the problem still exists.

So it a Shield TV problem (2017 version hardware) regardless of 32 or 64 
bit apk.  I've always thought the Shield TV had a better picture than 
the FireTV 4K but I'd love to eliminate this problem short of buying 
another FireTV 4K

Ideas on setting differences for the Shield TV?
