A: Jailbroken is a term referring to an iOS device...this is an Android OS device. Super User access by being "rooted" is not how this device is sold. Root is attainable, however, "rooting" the device will void the manufactures warranty.
A: buffering is caused by your internet connection. this device is fast enough that it will never buffer if your internet/wifi is fast enough to feed it.
A: The Nvidia Shield has the ability to load any and play any Android Game. Understand that games which are based on touch screen ability become more difficult with a controller, however the Shield also has full USB mouse support that can be used. In short I have been able to play every game I have tried so for. The Shield has a customized Play store that shows the games that already have built in controller support, but any Android game can be side-loaded and played.
A: Nvidia recommends a thumb drive actually. A Sandisk USB 3.0 for maximum transfer speeds. They make a 128GB one that I purchased from Best Buy (Nvidia has it listed under their Shield TV FAQ) and have formatted it as the Shields main internal storage. I play large games and they load fast and have no problem on this thumb drive. Hope this helps.
Q: What android version is this unit running?
A: 5.x - Nougat
Q: Would it play MKV H.265 movies off an external HDD with Kodi ?
A: Yes, I have 2 8Tb HDD plugin to my Nvidia and using Kodi to play 265 and 264 files, mkv or avi and it works fine.
A: you can cast from your smartphone whatever you want to read on tv screen, google chromecast is inbuilt in this device.
Q: Is it better tjan firestick i have and does it do alot more things???
A: In my opinion it is better than the firestick. It is amazing fast maneuvering and starting apps as well as buffering. Amazon and Netflix are available out of the box and KODI ready (download on AppStore) without hacking. Perfect unit for cable cutting and watching 4K content that is available. Throw in the fact that you can play nearly any console or pc game (not free) makes this ridiculously convenient! especially if you travel!
