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.
1. Can handle 4K over Plex without hiccups. The non pro version of NVIDIA shield actually struggled streaming 4K content over Plex (especially those that had atoms track). This one plays it smoothly. This is also the only player I've tried that isn't struggling to keep up with a large Plex library.
2. It has USB in/out. That means I can use a dedicated DAC with this. I've actually had quite a bit of struggle because my Samsung TV only outputs 16Bit/48KHz through Optical out. With Shield, I can get 24Bit/192Khz audio out through USB and listen to it on my dedicated stereo system. I use Prime music HD or Plex to stream from my library.
3. Great interface. I won't go into too much depth on this but let's just say that having a very powerful CPU inside a streaming box like this makes it very fast and smooth. It is quite a bit faster than my Samsung QLED TV, which wasn't slow to begin with. On top of that switching between apps is fast too. You will love this if you are running apps like Kodi which are somewhat heavy on memory and CPU usage. App support is great too since Shield runs android. You have access to play store which has Google TV specific apps but you could side load any android app if you really wish to.
4. Picture quality. The AI enhancement is probably the best upscaling you can find on any player. I have not tried them all but after going through few other streaming boxes and couple blu ray players, I can say that this is the best upscaling that I have come across.
5. Voice recognition. Since it's android TV, the voice recognition uses google and it works better than any other voice assistant.
Out of these, the first 2 requirements were kind of important to me and are hard to find on other devices. If you are not worried about the top 2, but still want rest of the features, the normal version of shield TV will suit you very well.
One thing you don't get with Shield is the amount of content you will get with a Roku. In terms of free channels, and just sheer content to watch, I think Roku is unbeatable. I find that Shield has all the content that I wish for. It has all the popular apps and few TVs (I think Sonys) also use Google TV, so it will keep adding support for popular channels in the future.
The top of the line steaming boxes from other manufacturers cost just as much as a normal Shield TV if not more and I would still pick that one over the others because of feature number 4 & 5. By now, you know what kind of user you are. If your preferences are close to what I list here, this is easily the best streaming box for you. Hope this helps.
Top reviews from other countries
I have spent years using Android TV boxes with Rii remote keyboards (and their copies, they all work the same). Something weird happened at Android 10 and 11 to stop them working properly. The escape key, the home key - It all broke. This is the case with this one too, and the supplied remote is dreadful.
I have an app called Button Mapper Pro that goes 50% of the way towards fixing it, but it's frustrating that Android somehow broke all of this and nobody seems to mention it.
I went through a whole load of Android 10/11 boxes but finally stuck with this one. It's not cheap, and the software is REALLY annoying, but the picture and sound quality and the speed of the thing is amazing. It's well worth the learning and adaptation curve.
I still miss the usability of my old Android boxes, but the quality of this one is really good.
So despite the problems with keyboards, this is the best of the newer Android boxes I have ever seen, which is ironic because it's not that new any more! I am mostly happy with my buy.
Hopefully, you find this review helpful.
A great product 👌,
Keeps your Nvidia Shield 🛡 protected.
