    Great Streaming Box

    This is a very good streaming box it has many apps for streaming. But if you also have a Nvidia powered PC then u can play your games with this without needing to be at your PC which is a great feature. Also you can stream games without a PC as long as you own the game via steam!

    Got this given the great holiday deal on it. I have multipe media players I use and although I do prefer the apple 4K TV to this one. it is only because of the operating system on th apple is moe stable and ther are more apps for it. Otherwise this is my second media player of choice.

    This is the best box if you like to customize and configure settings to your liking. With the additional loaders and deep customization available, you can turn this box into a gaming device, media streamer, local media streamer, and more. Very capable hardware, and a great value.

    I couldn't wait for the new Shield to come out. It wasn't until I found out that it was exactly like my old one, only the shape and size changed. The best device if you you use KODI and have a 4K TV.

    This is just what I was looking for in a set top box. I've attached this to my older 1080p Samsung TV and it's awesome. No lag or freezing. My only gripe would be that I wish it had a HDMI passthrough as so it would overlay the on the TiVo and allow me to use it at will without switching TV inputs.

    Amazing build quality, consistent software upgrades, best operating system. Nvidia is known for quality and this unit is a prime example. It has it all and support as well. I do suggest getting the one with the game controller too for the extra $20 it's really a great value.

    This android streaming box does everything that I had expected from a streaming box. It has enough space on it to add several apks. It is updated regularly when needed and the customer service is great. I know that it is pricey but in my opinion it is well worth the investment.

    I bought this for my 7 year old. He is a gamer. He loves it. The remote and controller are so neat. He can control the volume with a swipe of a finger and has integrated it with his tv. Plus the apps are an extra benefit. AND, you can add more memory. He said it was one of his favorite gifts.

    This thing is a powerhouse! I've been able to watch seemless IPTV as well as Netflix, Amazon Prime and such with absolutely no stutter or glitch. The gaming library is amazing as well, so many great titles. Who would've thought such a power system in such a compact bundle?

    Bought this so that we could cut the cord. I purchased while still having service so that I could compare. From the day I set it up I never turned my cable box back on. Love how responsive it is, much faster than the Roku I have on the other tv. Have also really enjoyed the game stream service.

    I needed a device to make my old non-smart HDTV smarter and the NVIDIA - SHIELD TV was the perfect fit that met my need by adding many features to my older HDTV. I recommend this for anyone looking for a way to add more features to an older non-smart HDTV. NVIDIA SHIELD TV ROCKS!!!!

    Just to say some Youtube videos say you need something else to use google assistant to control your home, It seems that No you don't just letting All know the Shield dose it all and can control all as if using a google home or hub, ect. it does for me that is.

    I have used several Android TVs. This one is easy to navigate and has a powerful system. My MiBox got really slow and always needed to restart. I like this device. Also if you have children it can play A LOT of different games. Android games and PC games.

    It's better than the firestick, but not worth 200. It still buffers not as bad. It works pretty good for live tv.

    I've tried multiple platforms for the kodi app and this box works best. Also the little gaming that I have done is good. It's not my PS4 or Xbox one. But still entertaining. if you are looking for gaming I would recommend ps or Xbox , but if you are looking for streaming.this is your box.
