NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player; 4K HDR movies, live sports, Dolby Vision-Atmos, AI-enhanced upscaling, GeForce NOW cloud gaming, Google Assistant Built-In, Works with Alexa

Very good, I would take this over the firetsick, because it has more functions and apps.

Amazing and quick to ship internationally seller! Product itself is great. I was unlucky to end up with an LG tv with webOS operation system which limits a lot interaction with the tv, and this awesome nvidia gadget with android solves all my issues! Very fast in playing Dolbivision hdr videos

I have 4 of these devices in my home. They are definitely the best devices in the market and believe me i tried several other boxes that claimed to be the best but they don't come even close to this one. It is made of solid construction and has a very fast processor and ample storage. The only thing Nvidia didnt design well is opening the back cover of the remote control to change the batteries. It takes a lot of strength to push it open. They could have done better with that in my opinion otherwise this is a solid 5 stars device.

A very good product, using it since a month. The graphics are very clear, the setup easy, and the remote control pretty cool, its in triangular shape. Of course you get all the regular programs, Netflix, YouTube, etc,..

I have received used product . Also Tvmate was not able to install . I have asked for refund but no response yet received .

Stunningly best

Great product. Just don't like the remote!

Couldn't plug it in. It came with a US plug. Why? I don't live in the US. US plugs do not plug into wall sockets in the UAE.

Good Product Worth every penny

En cuanto a su velocidad es simplemente el mejor, tengo roku streaming stick 4k y amazon fire stick 4k max, y el nvidia es más ágil para todo, y sin mencionar el escalado por IA, que de verdad mejora notablemente el contenido que no esté en resolución 4k, lo que no me gustó es que no soporta HDR10+, a pesar de ser compatible con Dolby Vision y HDR10, una lástima. El audio Hi Res, fue una de las razones por lo que lo compré y sí es bastante bueno (archivos de audio en alta calidad, aunque aparentemente solo grabados en sonido estéreo), pero no he encontrado la manera de que reproduzca bien archivos de música grabados en sonido cuadrafónico, en vez de eso los reproduce en estéreo. La caja venía perfectamente sellada, pero el control ya tenía las pilas colocadas, no sé si esto sea normal, por cierto el control se siente de gran calidad además de que sus botones son retroiluminados, un muy buen plus si gustas de mirar películas o oscuras, para tener ese feeling de cine en casa.

First, write this down and save it for when you need it, how to reset the remote when it locks up and new batteries don't help: "Remove one of the batteries, press the home+dpad center button & slide in the battery. Continue to hold the buttons down till you hear a audible beep." That happens about 6-9 months apart and knowing how to fix it makes this a flawless system. Can't say that about upgrading my win 10 box to win 11 but the Android TV box that Shield TV is works well. I have it on wired Ethernet because the house has that. As does Marantz receiver, Samsung QLED TV, BluRay player (UHD streaming is not as good as disks, I'm on fast fiber, Amazon prime custom content and new Paramount+ Star Trek stuff being exceptions). They all work together and I have an Amazon 4k fire stick that does well but can't Chromecast. I cast things that aren't available in streaming form, a typical example is MLB have highlights, available on phone app. Clunky if you try them via browser (exception is watching on the computer directly). Generally I stream a lot including a lot of ad free YouTube. News, science and IT training videos (how to software stuff). The shield works well, up scales okay but the fact is that this is not the same as real 4k content, which the Shield does flawlessly. The remote is easy to use, unlike the horrible QLED remote. If only Harmony would recognize the Shield. I may shelve my 4k Fire stick, but I have the additional box to DVR broadcast stuff, which the Shield doesn't do. I don't use that anymore, once in 2 months, so I'm debating just removing the Fire stick. The shield just works but doesn't have enough apps. What it needs is a music player that works with my Asustor NAS box. I can use Plex on NAS to stream a few hundred DVD disks I own and ripped, but music doesn't work. Select a folder and it often just jumps to the root. I can cast (there are several phone apps on my Pixel that do that well) but a phone screen is small when I have folders of folders, couple of thousand CDs of music, over half is classical. Easy from PC, moderate from phone but it doesn't work well in cast mode. Often I really to drill down to a folder - far quicker than artist or album (by probably a factor of 50-100) and then selectively play favorites. Nobody does that well in cast mode. Local mode to headphones is fine but not casting. I'm not interested in connecting a large multi TB drive to the shield as FAT32 winter cut it, NTFS will be necessary (I don't use Linux except wsfl so EXT4 is out). Mostly I use YouTube, Plex (client mode), Paramount+ and may migrate from Fire Stick: Amazon Prime & Amazon Music. I dumped Hulu (on an old Roku) years ago, and Netflix because I didn't find much content worth while. Paramount+ is close to that now, likely after the next season of Brave New Worlds. If Netflix hadn't turned Formula One into a racing version of real housewives I might still subscribe. The apps, though, work well and it was easy to use any that I wanted except music on Plex (movies and documentaries are fine). I'd highly recommend the Shield TV. I saw an interesting YouTube video on Android TV boxes, the video was about security, specifically if they have a modified version of Android that allowed spying on your home network traffic. The answer was, and the person tested dozens of boxes, YES they do support spy with 2 exceptions. Shield was one, and it runs native straight Android and was clearly declared to be the one that should be considered trustworthy in this regard. The others had source code that was modified and some didn't even try to hide it, the findings were enough to lose sleep over. Search YouTube for this:"Android tv box security" and one by Lon TV about "Is Your Android TV Legit?" is the one to start with but NordVPN "Pre Installed Malware on Android TV Box" is the other. Watch before you buy (these were made earlier in 2023) if you are thinking of a $40 Android TV box. So get a cold one or as I'm writing in December, since hot chocolate, sit back in your recliner and enjoy some excellent content available these days. Side note is that it was easy to get Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, combo from Microsoft, to work with the shield TV. The problem is more about how it isn't easy to use them sitting in a recliner. But they do work. Just so you know.

Beats all of those other google boxes, hands down. Pros: + When the home server resets, you don't need to reset Shield. + Can handle multiple hard drives even over 18 TB on an independent hub + The out of this world remote illuminates when it senses movement. + No crashes, loads subtitles, has night mode for sound, which makes dialogue easier to hear. - Price is a little high

We all know this is old now, but it's still pretty quick. Android TV imo needs a new front end, if for nothing else but to get rid of the adverts. Luckily the Shield is more than happy to accept one. Instantly better. What is odd is that the Shield won't play android games from the store, admittedly this could be cheap SSD I added as extra internal storage, so I am going to test that with a better one when it turns up. Edit: yup, certainly was the cheap ssd hard drive, I got a Samsung SSD and it. Is. Glorious. Talking of which, extra expenses: 1. You will need an SSD to expand the memory, 16gb including space for the OS is frankly a joke. 2. A decent hdmi lead. 3. The possibility of needing a high speed hdmi splitter if your TV wasn't made yesterday. My TV has four 4k hdmi ports but only two super high speed, one of which is arc. That's fine, but the arc is taken up by my fancy soundbar and the other super high speed port is taken up by my Xbox. This means the shield can currently only go into a normal 4k port and that means no Dolby Vision or HDR10 etc. And really this box needs those settings as it's just a bit lack lustre without them. 4. You might also need to consider buying a powered USB 3(+) hub. There isn't a massive amount of power to spare in the Shield and obvs running the usb takes up some of it. So to avoid digital drudgery, extra power might help. CEC is tricky to set up as it appears to conflict slightly with the rather nice IR settings you can tweak. I'm not yet savvy enough with the system to figure all this out yet, but I have hopefully stopped it randomly shutting down the Shield and my TV which was just annoying. My intention is to run this as a retro gaming/TV box. It's not the easiest thing to set up, but after a few days of nerdling around I think it has potential... it's just slightly out of my grasp so far. Edit: mostly got everything sorted for emulation. It's fiddly and it's a fine line between shaders and a CTD! Oh and the remote is very cool, if a little bit sensitive. Edit: all other controllers now feel old fashioned!
