    I bought this as an advanced chromecast replacement. It's been nice not having to cast things from a phone. I did have some issues with 5ghz wifi not reconnecting from sleep, but eventually I hardwired this to my network to freeing up wifi bandwidth anyway. Android TV and this unit brings just about every streaming app you'd want (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, all major network apps, etc). I also loaded up retroarch to play emulated games, the shield controller is great for this.

    I love it! This is a great alternative to cable. In one month it pays for itself compared to the $340 cable bill I was paying every month

    The video quality is absolutely amazing! Worth the price by a long shot. The Shield takes the terrible video quality from streaming services like ESPN and Fox and upscales them to a video worthy of a 4k tv. Far superior video output to the Roku and PS5 image quality. While more expensive then the Apple TV and the other devices it makes up for ten fold in its robust versatility and ease of use.

    This is one of the best set top streaming devices you can get. Period. Yes it's pricier but it's worth the additional cost to just have something that works so well.

    The Shield is impressive. Not to mention it looks cool.....and I'm a 64 year old Vet and I have 3 of the 4K Firesticks and 2 of the 2nd gen Cubes. I like my Cubes don't get me wrong, but I've been salivating for one of these for 2.5 years now. And they don't go on sale. I'm not a gamer so I use it exclusively for streaming purposes, and so far it has run flawlessly. A few changes in the settings and voila, you have an additional noticeable improvement in the performance. Not to mention plug and play usb for extra storage
