I have a Cube and a Shield Pro which I tried both on a 65” 4k. I much prefer the Shield to the Cube as the shield is much faster than the Cube. I do not use lean front, rather the MythTV plugin within Kodi. Some complaints about the Kodi plugin itself, but it works on both the Cube & Shield.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 15, 2020, at 9:06 AM, Jim Abernathy <<a href="mailto:jfabernathy@gmail.com" class="">jfabernathy@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

Since the Shield runs the MythTV Frontend and Leanfront very well
it's the best platform until you start streaming from other

TV settings, but I find those change behavior but do not fix it.
The Shield TV Hulu app is complete broken.<br class="">

mythfrontend but leanfront is perfect.</p><p class="">So now to my question, has anyone tested the FireTV Cube? And
does it have a faster processor or better graphic hardware than
the FireTV 4K stick?</p><p class="">I'm just trying to find one device that runs all my video apps
