Customer Ratings & Reviews

I normally don't rate or review items, but I loved this device until the recent update to the home screen UI. The new update takes the home screen and reserves the top 1/3rd for ads, some ads that are for paid services that I don't own. This is very annoying, especially since the UI was perfect before the update. I would like to give the product 5 stars, but replacing a chunk of the main navigation screen for ads is unacceptable for such an expensive device.

It is easy to set up and use. We are using it to stream Netflix, etc.

The best streaming device on the market, only thing even close is apple TV

I Will definitely recommend buying this instead of Apple TV 4K it’s faster and more powerful than what apple offers.

I bought this to replace a firestick that was conctantly buffering. I am pleased with how it is working.

Best thing I have seen in a long time, SOOO many movies. I have downloaded some apps. ATRIXSTREAMS is wonderful. and for $12.00 a month, I can watch everything that Direct TV offers and much more.

Super cool box…….premium movies, ppv, kids television, adult’s movies ect….easy to navigate….really like my purchase…..recommended 100 percent

I am an audiophile and was very disappointed when my sony blue ray became obsolete. With the streaming apps. None if my other devices had have the sound quality when streaming apple tv roku ultra. Not only did the sound quality match my high end sony. But the video blew it away. Throw out apple and Roku as they are not even qualified to compete.

This box is incredible. If you are reading this stop reading and buy it. Super fast and reliable with every feature you need even if you don't know it. Pick up the controller also you won't be disappointed.

Fabulous product. It has cut out my dependency on the cable tv pirates. Merci Beaucoup!

Its the ultimate streaming device. Ive bought this item before.

Upgraded from a firestick to this. No regrets. Nice and sleek. Remote is awesome.

This is a great media player. It can serve as a media home for other shield devises, plays android games extremely well, and all that is above what I got it for, which is to be a media player for a few external hard drives. Controller is simple to use, and you can down load whatever media app you want, and not stuck with what your smart TV had preloaded. A+

Anyone that knows anything about streaming knows the Shield is the box of choice for watching all that good content. Apple or anyone else else can’t touch this device.

Really solid streaming device been using for years with no problem's

So, if you want to get the most out of gaming on Android, particularly emulators, without using a much more expensive phone and tethering it to your TV. This is for you. If you want to get the most out of TV entertainment this should give you pause. Sadly. First, nvidia still hasn't officially released proper Atmos support. A format, at first blush, I figured to be fair pointless. Well, it's really not. It truly is the best surround sound format to date. Truly immersive. And this can't do it. Yet. But I still think the wait as we have it now is fairly telling of what kind of support you can expect when it doesn't launch with something that it should have. There have also been a host of Dolby Vision problems and updates to address. They're not entirely Nvidia's problem but paying this much to stream tv and it should just always work or be patched much faster. The second, real big death knell, is that this uses Android TV. Which is basically Google Play with severe limitations, hurdles and headaches for a poorly crafted UI and system that doesn't work pain free like the entire point of making Android TV, in the first place. This isn't Nvidia's problem but Googles. But they chose to use it all the same. So, while some google purchases will transfer just fine you'll be in an interesting situation where some don't. Spectrum TV is a Samsung and Apple TV program only. That's a greedy cable company for you but their regular app won't work, either. Therefore, you have to use your phone to cast to this to technically use this to use a major Cable Provider's app. This highlights the limitations, not freedom, of Android TV. No doubt you'll experience headaches of your very own. I hate Apple TV 4k. I hate its UI. I hate its store. I hate, like REALLY, hate its remote. It's a true PITA to operate and enjoy. I also don't want to give a selfish company like Apple even more ungodly amounts of money. However, it also just works. No Dolby Vision problems. No Dolby Atmos problems. At least none that weren't worked out within a week. There are some headaches with it but most critically every format that you expect to work with it, does and while it's fairly pointless for gaming and they're not doing nearly enough Apple Arcade on it, if you just want to watch the best of the best streaming can provide, it's the ONLY one available so far. So, TL;DR this is good for gaming. Bad for streaming. It's basically 3rd place or fighting for second with Roku. Roku doesn't have Dolby Vision but allows Atmos pass through. This has Dolby Vision (finally) but Atmos is current a hotfix only solution and for m,any even that isn't working. Deal. Breaker. It trades blows with the Roku but the Roku has more apps, works better even if lacking features and costs A LOT LESS. So, by at least losing Dolby Vision (which is ridiculous at this point Roku, PAY THEM ALREADY!) you are still paying a lot less and get a better experience for what should work does work. Nvidia is very vocal in its community forums and very clear with plans and ETAs. However, they are still VERY far behind and they don't patch nearly fast enough. So, if you're willing to wait months to finally get what you paid for, and probably wait months later after they break something (either on them or an update from your TV/Receiver company) then I am sure Nvidia will deliver. Definitely more than Apple on the smaller issues affecting fewer customers. But for the big things, they're taking way, way, way too long. This doesn't work as promised. Apple TV 4k, sadly does.

The preferred streaming device in the house by far.
