    Great price! Shield is a tank of the streaming devices.

      • scuderiarmani on 27/06/2022 - 15:13

        And got laughed at

        No kodi, no sideloading of the apps and locked down OS. If you're only using the legit streaming apps then its great i guess

        • expatOz on 27/06/2022 - 15:23

          You got it. It has its flaws but its the “tank” for many who use legit streaming.

              @scuderiarmani: Shield just arrived and its going back tomorrow. Laggy as hell. The keyboard via Nvidia app is super crappy, jumps between inputs. The VPN app doesn't do split tunneling it says it would. CEC volume control doesn't work on Hisense TV without compromises .. just to mention a few issues.

              Apple TV is far superior.

        • snuke on 27/06/2022 - 16:07

          Shield, no frame rate matching for Netflix, Prime etc…
          Android 11 causing all kinds of headaches for devs, stuffed up Emby and Plex for me and all who want to direct play back 4K MKV remuxes.

          They all have one issue or another, it comes down to what works for you.

          After using a Shield since 2015, I may very well move to Apple TV as Infuse is doing a better job of playback than anything I can use on Android 11, and I am not going through the pain of rolling it back to Android 9 to get things to work again.

  • cheapdoodau on 27/06/2022 - 15:07

    I just happened to be wanting one of these, was waiting for prime day. thanks OP

    Tempted to replace my ozb favourite Vodafone TVs. They are all too convenient though( iptv which I can change channels and watch like normal fta tv, Kayo sideloaded, Netflix, Disney, iview, kodi etc). It’s seems to have a slight red tinge though for some reason.

    Using a old Telstra tv on the main TV just to upscale 4K from it from Kayo for sport lol.

    Might hold off a bit longer

    • scuderiarmani on 27/06/2022 - 15:37

      You can add TV channels to these. It's clumsy but I don't watch them either though.

      Sad…I'm just sitting here refreshing and they aren't doing it. Not that I care about boycotting Harvey, I just can't be bothered driving there as it's out of my way.

  • Yabadabadoo on 27/06/2022 - 16:32

    Anyone find an app to play home videos and photos (stored on an attached HDD or on a NAS) well? I cant seem to find anything.

    • spackbace on 27/06/2022 - 17:20

      VLC?

      Otherwise setup a basic Plex server

      • Yabadabadoo on 28/06/2022 - 01:50

        I use an emby server but photos and home video are not well presented and photos is pretty much unusable. Do u know if plex has a dedicated photos feature?

        • spackbace on 28/06/2022 - 09:52

          No I don't think so unfortunately

  • Timboj on 27/06/2022 - 16:40

    Paid $360 for mine and still really happy with it.

  • Wizard on 27/06/2022 - 16:43

    Is this better for netflix or the lg oled inbuilt netflix tv app?

    • snuke on 27/06/2022 - 17:13
      +2

      There is no advantage over the LG app, except maybe a little speed, but I haven't found that to be slow on my G1.
      Neither does frame rate matching, they both play at 60Hz, you would need an Apple TV to get an advantage.

  • giventofly on 27/06/2022 - 16:47

    I'm gonna wait for Prime day, if there's a better deal I'll bite, otherwise waiting for a new version. Hopefully not long away

  • Mugsy on 27/06/2022 - 16:50

    Very timely OP.

    Our shield remote recently died and stock of a genuine one is hardly anywhere. At $70-ish for the remote alone, I figured I may as well buy a whole new shield and have a spare unit in case the old one dies.

    • dav3 on 27/06/2022 - 16:56

      People actually use their remotes? I just use HDMI-CEC to control it.

      • Mugsy on 27/06/2022 - 17:38

        I have HDMI CEC turned on as well as HDMI control on my tv but my tv Remote can't control the shield. Would solve my issue for free if it worked.

    • ReaperX22 on 27/06/2022 - 22:15

      Ha in exactly the same boat. Once it went up on Amazon as well I even got the approval from the better half to upgrade. Bought the remote from Amazon. Naturally was faulty. Returned. Been waiting for stock since.. Bought this and will either keep spare or give the old to my parents! Upgrade their Google tv chromecast

      • Mugsy on 28/06/2022 - 00:19

        My folks got a shield in late 2020 when they had been stuck at home all year and wanted a better Youtube experience on their TV (same model as mine). So my spare unit will remain mine. We use our shield everyday so I'm sure it'll need replacing sooner or later. Otherwise, I may buy one of the imitation remotes down the track and set the second unit up in the bedroom… Mrs wants a projector.

        I wish I had waited for Amazon… save myself the delivery fee. But oh well, getting one is better than nothing.

  • cobknob on 27/06/2022 - 16:53

    Anyone with an existing shield 4k pro 2019 tell me if this game is playable potentially, through the Google play store?

    • Ulysses31 on 27/06/2022 - 17:21

      How could we know?

      "Pre-register for a chance to get early access to this game"

      • cobknob on 28/06/2022 - 01:17

        The last time (a long time ago!) I got a game through the play store it would actually state whether the device was compatible or not (maybe just the not compatible part)

        Anyhow I checked the system requirements for:

        To play Octopath Traveler CotC on Android, the minimum requirement is a smartphone or tablet running Android 6.0 or higher and at least 2GB of RAM.
        https://www.mobigaming.com/2022/03/25/octopath-traveler-cham…

        and then I saw this:

        All SHIELD TV devices are able to play most of the games available to Android TV on the Google Play store as well as play streamed games from GeForce NOW.
        https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4911

        So can you play google play store games that you normally play on your smartphone or tablet with the Shield TV Pro and a blue-tooth/wireless controller?

  • brisneylander on 27/06/2022 - 17:09

    Will this come with android 9 and have to be upgraded to 11. Already been down that path with my existing one and it's a pain.

    Thinking of getting a 2nd one for the bedroom, which I will hardly use. Just thinking of it being a great price as a backup.

    • snuke on 27/06/2022 - 17:14

      If you are lucky it will come with 9 and you can stop it form upgrading to 11 which is causing lots of problems.

    • Ulysses31 on 27/06/2022 - 17:24

      What was the pain?
      Everything I've experienced with these things is slick.

    Still the only device which handles playback of my HQ 4K Remux files. Series X - Nope. Sony TV - Nope. Both had issues, where the Shield didn't hesitate.

    • snuke on 27/06/2022 - 17:33

      What app are you using to playback 4k Remuxes?
      Are they MKV or MP4?
      Dolby Vision, HDR10 or neither?

      I have had constant drams with 4K MKV remuxes since Android 11 prevented Direct File Access for many apps.
      I had to pull out my Apple TV over the weekend and buy a Infuse 7 Pro license to get things to play correctly. I am not a fan of ATV generally, hate the stupid remote, but at least it played things properly.

      • spackbace on 27/06/2022 - 17:57

        Plex, direct streamed from the NAS. MKV, HDR10 (no DV). Generally 60-100GB files

        • snuke on 27/06/2022 - 19:07

          Don’t have any DV or it won’t play it?
          All files I tested over the weekend from my NAS to my 2015 Shield played as Transcoded and not direct play

  • CheapGit on 27/06/2022 - 17:26

    Or do you just use iptv app instead ?

    • zorrt on 27/06/2022 - 17:42

      If you're only streaming then no. If you're playing local media you'll find some people saying they had issues playing large files on the tube version, possibly due to 2gb ram

    is there a way to prevent updates to Android 11? sounds like too many issues?

    is anyone successfully streaming up to 4K HDR with emby from a server with android 11?

  • TN007 on 27/06/2022 - 18:02

    Dammit. Got one for $300 few weeks ago. Not happy on missing out ~$50 savings.

    Comparison between this and Fire TV 4K stick for streaming? Just a bit quicker/faster?

  • adrianhughes1998 on 27/06/2022 - 18:33

    Was gonna get one but have a Chromecast with Google TV already. Between the separate power supply of the NVIDIA Shield TV stick and the UI not being as colourful as Google's, and neither having AV1 codec support.

    NVIDIA though is more future proofed for sure than Google but AV1 future gives me pause.

      Does it do framerate matching yet? That was the only thing stopping me from getting one for Kodi

    Specs can be found here for the current models*:

    Shield TV
    Shield TV Pro

    *Android OS may need updating

    Links should be included in the description since the retailer sites are piss poor at this!

  • waving on 28/06/2022 - 08:52

    So if I bought this alongside a cheap 65in TV, like a TCL, Linsar or Hisense, would this allow me to bypass the poor default UI built into these TV's and give me an enjoyable TV experience on a budget or am I missing out on upscaling etc? Main uses is Plex, iview, bit of streaming… no BluRay or anything like that.

    • snuke on 28/06/2022 - 09:53

      Pretty much, I barely use my LGs interface, but I also haven't had an aerial plugged into a tv for over 10 years.

    • cyrax83 on 28/06/2022 - 13:41

      Yes. I put in a Fire TV 4K on my shitty TLC TV. Don't have to deal with the TCL remote or the laggy built in UI anymore.
