    Exactly what I needed to entertain the family. Once it was setup, the kids have been on it non stop.

    I used apple tv, fire stick, Hulu stick. In my opinion, there is no one can beat shield. The best tv box I have. So far so good.

    This product was honestly a little underwhelming for the price point. I specifically bought it to play GE ForceNow. The system itself ran phenominally but when it came to that specific app it required the latestest updates and didnt want to run. I had to manually reverse the update and sideload the program to make it run smoothly. Other than that issue the hardware itself was good. But it was just a tad disappointing to see the only program I purchased it for had major internal issues.

    LITTERED with huge, inappropriate ads on the home screen! There is no way to turn them off! I turned on my shield yesterday just to find that a huge section of ads recommending a bunch of inappropriate content. My child uses my shield and should not have to deal with virtue signaling from Google. I paid extra for a premium device that had ZERO ads. I now feel like I was ripped off. You might as well just go buy a fire stick and save yourself $150.

    If you have a Google based smart home this is a great streamer. I also use it as an N64 emulator.

    Used to work just fine. Absolutely hated having the Netflix button right next to your thumb on the bottom of the remote, easily the worst designed remote I’ve used in 30 years. All I did was unplug it to move to another TV, and I have no power. I would recommend buying an Apple TV 4K if that’s still a thing, I’ve had one for 5 years and that works out fine. Past the remote and obviously the garbage capacitors, the GUI moves a bit slow like a lower end Roku and for the price for this, it’s unacceptable. I would avoid this product.
