- A: AnswerYes, I bought the Shield to use as both a PLEX server and client. It took a little time for me to discover that unlike a PC I couldn’t just attach an External HDD to one of the Shield’s USB ports and instantly setup the PLEX server. I had to first format the HDD to Wipe the drive completely and merge the HDD with the Shield’s internal storage. The issue here is that once formatted on the Shield the External HDD will only work on the Shield (unless re-formatted for PC). This meant that I couldn’t remove the HDD from the shield, connect it to a PC and add media. That left me with an empty 4TB HDD while all of my media was still on my PC’s HDD. After lots of Googling/YouTubing I discovered that I’d have to first mount my PC as Network Storage to the Shield and then transfer my Media across the Network directly to the Shield. It works great now but it definitely took some time to figure out the process. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and especially YouTube. Hopefully this helps you avoid the same pitfalls I encountered.

- A: AnswerNot true. This model has a newer Tegra chip and the unit is 25% faster than the older models. True not much else has changed but it is a faster processor. I have both models and I can definitely tell the difference in load times.

- A: AnswerThe remote does not have a headphone jack. It does have a microphone for Google assistant interaction.
Answered by Mediabuff
- A: AnswerThe shield is its own streaming unit that can also do a fair bit more. You can download the Prime Video channel on this just fine. No extra hardware required.

Q: QuestionI have skystream 3 now. Is this the same or better? Does it have Kodi?(4 answers)
A: AnswerIf you’re confused between the two consoles after having a closer look at their hardware, well, you only need to remember two things. Firstly, what do you need an Android home console for? Are you a streamer or a gamer? This question will usually help you make a choice between the two devices. The SkyStream III Plus is an exceptional product for the current market situation and fits in very nicely with the crop of Android running consoles available in the market. If you’re looking solely towards gaming, the Shield TV is a no-brainer really. It has all the features that would appeal to a gaming enthusiast along with the addition of the standard Android features like Google Assistant and the goodness of Android. NVIDIA is also pretty decent with updates, so you’ll have no trouble keeping this for a long time. By the way, I own a SHIELD 2019 model and its just awesome!Answered by ilovmycat
- A: AnswerThere are multiple apps in google play store you can download and install in this device like XUMO (live tv and movies and tv shows) That's free, netflix. Also you can install Kodi but you would need to configure yourself it is a media player app can run addons and apps Hope that helps

Still the best Set Top Box
I've been using Nvidia Shield TV's since they came out in 2015 and they are still my goto device for consuming media on any television. The latest TV I purchased one for actually included Google TV, the the speed, flexibility & quality of the Shield Pro puts all other interfaces to shame. Add the superior remote to the equation and I didn't even bother to try out the included interface on the Hisense TV,

A real pro TV box !!
The best Android TV in the market. Shiled pro is fast, easy to setup and use. The picture quality and audio produced by shield is better than native TV apps. I am using Samsung qled with yamaha rx-a8a, sounds from shiled pro is amazing. You can find a difference even with basic app like youtube. Dolbly atmos, vision and HDR effects are great. Remote control shape is bit weird but you get to use to it quickly.
