Mature perhaps. It still has more than enough grunt for the tasks at hand, and is still getting regular software updates, both for the base OS/Experience and the apps. For couch based control the remote and voice commands work well enough, and you can always pair a keyboard / trackpad if you need that for your use case. Nothing wrong with a mac mini if it meets your use cases. Interested in what edge cases it addresses that cant be met by an Apple TV these days for those in that ecosystem.

Nvidia Shield. I Use it. I Like it. Hooked up with Logitech Harmony in addition to its voice remote. All the usual suspects on the streaming app front(Youtube Netflix , Amazon prime Video and music, both in 4K HDR) + kodi. I Don't use Hulu so cant say , but it's there, as is the Tivo app. Handles Live TV via Silicon Dust Cable Card in my case. https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-tv-box-2-1021123/
