You can get a streaming stick with the remote for like $50. It will come with all the stupid DRM in place required to stream 1080p/4K/HDR whatever and it'll be designed to be used from 10 feet away with a remote. Plus it'll use like 3W of power.

Setting that all up on PC is much more of a chore.

Yes sure, but i was talking about OPs nvidia shield, which costs like 200 bucks and it also has gaming capabilities.

If all you want is netflix and youtube then of course a 50$ chrome stick is fine.
