I have Kodi on my cheap android TV which performs much faster than on my pi. So I prefer that. My RPI even crashes from time to time, even thought it has active cooling. Elec just can turn into a resource hog, especially if you switch between apps often. I am just still pissed that I spent $150 on a pi with case for elec when it obviously isn't the optimal device. And want others to avoid the problem :) As said somewhere else, calling home issues are just a question of your firewall / DNS setup
