    While this device was revilutionary on its release it is now sadly overshadowed bu the newer FireTV Cube. While it’s interface is infinitely better, what matters most is how the content is displayed. The new Cube has a cleaner upscale than the shield. If/when Nvidia wants to release an up-to-date shield I’m sure that will again be king. For now, save $100 and get the superior product.

    Extremely fast. Very user friendly. I could not be happier with this shield. The design of the new remote is wonderful. Upgraded from the very first shield and coulnt be happier. NVIDIA wins again.

    Best Android TV streaming box with passthrough HD

    This is the best android TV streaming box. This can passthrough lossless HD audio such as True-HD Atmos and DTS-X to an audio receiver that can decode these audio tracks. It also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Digital plus Atmos from Netflix to a Dolby Vision display. I opted for the Sheild Pro version as it can be used as a Plex server vs the non pro version. It also has 2 USB ports and 3 GB of Ram. The updated remote is easy to use and I like that I can change the commands and set it to a specific button. The user interface is very fast. Nvidia continues to support the 2015 and 2017 models and I expect the same for this version.

    I have the 1st generation which is still awesome, this just kicks it up. I think they could of up the specs a little more but either way still awesome. The lighted remote is a great add on.

    Works wonderfully as a Plex server. I have a NAS that I could mount to the shield to host all my Plex media. The storage needs to be larger though. For Plex to hold all the meta data, I had to connect an external HDD. Use a guide to easily get it set up. I can now have transcoding for the Live TV. Previously used a raspberry pi 3 which worked decent but was slower and couldn’t do the transcoding needed to use it for Live TV and recording.

    I've been using Apple TV for many years. But one thing apple doesn't have is HDD support. I decided to get this and I love it! By installing Kodi and then using an external hard drive, I can see all my movie files. The only thing I don't like is that some external hard drives stay after powering down. So you would have to unplug and replug the hard drive pending on the size of the drive. Other than that, I love it.

    I like how all streaming apps are in one place and easy to go from one to another. How easy it is to connect an Xbox controler to play the games offered.
