I can't stomach paying $50 for the TV remote. Anyone know of a good (cheaper) alternative? Something like a Mi Box / Apple TV / Fire remote that works over Bluetooth?

Worth it for the build quality and private listening headphone port.
I just bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K768DHY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works out of the box and you can program (Infrared) the power button at the top and the four colored ones at the bottom. The keyboard in the back is OK. The mouse is a bit touchy... everything else works out of the box.
Also has the mouse mode too. Works flawlessly for me.
Does your TV remote not control the shield ?
I have a Samsung Smart TV and TV remote is capable of controlling the Shield TV.
I bought the fire stick black friday for the remote. It pairs as a shield accessory, and the voice search works too. You can also then use the fire stick in another with your phone as the remote, or in the same room for the apps that might not yet be on ATV
Can get a FLIRC USB module and then use any remote with it.
The simple fire remote works.
