A:AnswerPro runs PLEX Media server, ‘tube’ does not
Pro has 2 USB ports, ‘tube’ has none, but you get 1 microSD slot for storage
A media server can present videos you own to phone, tablets, computers and other TV’s. You can even setup remote streaming if you take a trip.
Both have Ethernet for smooth network streaming, but the ‘tube’ won’t serve up your media to other devices.
A:AnswerThe problem unit is backordered which means they are actually being held up in China or US ports until they figure out how to test for covid. The tube shaped unit is the same processor and if you want one to use for IPTV it works great.
A:AnswerOld TVs benefit a lot from a streaming box like this!
The older HDMI on your VISIO TV may not support newer specs like 4K video or Dolby Vision HDR, but the Shield will still be great for connecting the TV to a lot of content!
•Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu
•Digital media such as music and movies that you can put on an external harddrive connected to the Shield’s USB ports (or access from your home’s WiFi/Ethernet network).
•Playing Android games (and retro emulators)
•Wireless output connected to your home PC or mobile devices
•NVIDIA’s powerful cloud computing gaming service GeForce Now which is like having a powerful desktop PC.
A:AnswerYes the remote requires batteries but unlike the older versions of the nvidia shield which used button batteries,this one uses 2 AAA batteries... As far as setting it up, you plug it into the power outlet, plug it into your tv, plug it into your router if you are going to use it over ethernet. The system will walk you through the setup.its a breeze...
A:AnswerIdk about Atmos, but yes. Quick note: This is where I tell you that you should NEVER download illegal copies of anything and that I only did it for curiosity, and with a copy of a movie I've alreadly legally paid for lol.
Back on topic: Yes, I've tested it using a downloaded version of a 4K HDR version of Tangeld that I also legally own a copy of just to see if theres a difference, aside from the inevitable drop in quality from the disc to the downloadable version, the file looked 99% rhe same as my 4K Blu Ray when playing it on my PS5.
A:AnswerYou need to ask Amazon, and good luck with that. If just one service has any kind of issue, it's the app that service wrote and provided, not the underlying hardware.
A:AnswerHiFimeDIY Tiny USB Dac , 3.5 jack / rca cable .....this is what I used to connect my shield to a Yamaha a s501 amp . Worked for me should work for you . Don’t forget to set usb sound in shield settings .
