Great box for streaming or gaming

Posted by: scasmflop from on 04/04/2016I was an early adopter of the android tv platform and grabbed a nexus player as soon as they were available. I felt like the layout and flow was decent for an early version of the product but needs refinement over time. My biggest woes were that the nexus player hardware was very lacking and underpowered. I would constant run into issues with playback or voice commands, especially on things like slingtv where their streaming interface could use some help as well (nothing worse than watching a show and having the stream crash with 5 minutes left and then have no time-shifting controls to get you back where you left off). Enter the Nexus Shield and the experience vastly improved. Enough RAM and processor to handle whatever I throw at it. Things like Slingtv are still rough around the edges, but good hardware helps even that to be a much more pleasant experience as you don't have to fight at both sides. The gaming capability is nice to have as an addition, but I'm just so happy as a cordcutter to have a streaming box that is so reliable and performant.
