    Does not play as nice with my other electronics (TV, soundbar) as the 4k fire stick. Even though I turn off CEC on both the Shield and TV its as if CEC is still present somewhere on the Shield. Also, sometimes plays audio in PCM rather than Dolby. No way to manually change it even when changing the settings. I wanted to love this but it is driving me crazy right now.

    Constantly reboots on my Sony's TV's. I have reinstalled the OS multiple times, still no reboots after waking up from sleep mode. Decided to get a Apple TV, problem solved.

    Not as great as I was anticipating!!!! Lots of apps kept shutting down and having to re open them. Nice design but over hyped.

    The menu’s and remote control functions are limited. It needs more instructions with illustrations as to which connections are best and why.

    Meh, it’s alright. Took us five days and multiple troubleshooting sessions to finally get plex working on this brick. Now everytime i power it down I cross my fingers and hope it recognizes the drive when I turn it on again. We shall see

    Defective Junk

    Previously had Firestick 4K on my Sony XBR65. Firestick properly controlled my TV and Soundbar, power and volume; but display was always buffering or crashing when using HULU. Per recommendation of Best Buy employee, I bought an NVIDIA Shield 3-weeks ago. At first, the picture clarity was amazing, no buffering! But the Shield would not control my TV or Soundbar power. Having to use 3 remotes was annoying, I complained to NVIDIA, they said it might be fixed with an upcoming software update. Two weeks later, sometimes Shield controls the TV power, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Shield turns the TV on, but not off; and vice versa. Shield controls the Soundbar volume, but not it's Power. So I still need 3 remotes, but now I have to watch and wait to see what Shield does before pressing anything, extremely annoying. A few nights ago, I turned everything off, left the room, and Shield turned itself and the TV back on. I waited, saw no updates or messages, turned everything off again. Within 3-minutes, Shield turned itself and the TV back on again. Is this thing possessed! This process repeated 4 more times before I unplugged all the power cables for the night. I plugged it back in the next day, and now HULU will not play any video. I have researched numerous online articles and forums and tried all their suggestions to fix the HULU error, nothing works. I give up. Either NVIDIA can accept this as a defective product return, or it goes in the trash. Waste of money and time!

    It did everything as advertised. Ended up returning it. Other than games, the performance was about the same as my $25 firestick. I couldn't justify the price.
