Nexus player vs Fire TV, 3 months later (opinions please)

I'm getting the distinct sense something's going on between Netflix and Google. The Netflix app isn't working on the SHIELD AndroidTV device either.

I just tried Netflix on my Nexus Player and it worked earlier this afternoon.

Yeah, started working on the SHIELD this afternoon too. I have a funny feeling someone on the Netflix side plugged something back in.

Which player as the better phone/tablet remote control app, nexus player or AFTV?

By better I mean ease of use, connectivity, speed to load and connect.

They both use the standard Android TV remote control app. Razer makes a Razer-ified version for the Forge TV but it's basically just a very green re-skin. Sony also has a custom app for their Android Smart TVs,

I have both items and can say that after a year, the nexus player is by far superior. The Amazon ui is a complete mess. It's worse than even their website. Plus they seem to be lagging in terms of new apps, while Android TV is getting more every day.

What are the new apps? Every time I open the Play Store on it nothing in interests me at all. I have a few streaming apps, but the games are blah, really feel a Chromecast is the better option.
