    Best Android TV box

    The horsepower of this thing is beyond anything else on the market. If this fits your specific needs I can't see any other better option. Less versatile (apps and support) than Amazon android based products but does common things much better.

    I have had this ShieldTV a while now, and I will say I will never go back to using Roku. nVidia has even been updating it regularly, well past the time most device manufacturers do (usually 2 year cycles).

    Plays many formats and is one of the few media devices available today, that truly passes HD audio (DTS-HD, X and Dolby TrueHD, Atmos). Plus it does a great job with true 4K video feeds. I am really impressed with the performance of the Shield.

    If you like the plex media player then this is a great choice. The Nvidia Shield is capable of running a full Plex server on its own. I combined that with a WD My Cloud NAS to have access to a huge library of media from anywhere in the world.

    I have been wanting a streaming box that wasn't as limiting as a firestick. Yes you pay more, but for the specs, this little device can't be beat. I have plenty of apps and can play lots of games. This thing has me covered.

    This is a great little streaming box. It doesn't drop signal very often, even with multiple devices running. Haven't done any gaming on it, but being Nvidia, and with the quality of the shows and movies we watch, I'm sure it's a great system.

    Bought this with the intentions of being a plex server, it went above and beyond expectations. Connected an external drive and the rest is history. Best purchase I've made in a while.

    This is my second Nvidia Shield and it is just as amazing as the first although it is now half the size! The size is literally the only issue I have and that's because my HDMI cable keeps pushing the Nvidia around. No pun intended.

    We are on our way to the future! This is amazing! Roku who? AppleTV what? If you have a hard connection and some internet speed, you are looking at some serious fun from a seriously sexy device. The controller is perfect too!

    A really powerful item. We dropped our cable service and use this along with a HD Homerun for OTA service, Netflix and Plex We're also able to use PVR (DVR) capabilities. With the Google store we're able to access some pretty good apps too.

    I have tried them all, apple tv, fire stick, you name it. The Nvidia shield is by far the BEST streamer box money can buy. Excellent support from google and huge apk community to help customize the box how you want it.

      Hi Balraj,
      We are sorry to hear about your issues with SHIELD TV. There are three ways to play games on SHIELD, only one of them being games from Google Play. You can also subscribe to our GeForce NOW service which enables you to play a huge library of PC quality games. Also if you own a GeForce GTX-based PC you can stream your own library of PC games to SHIELD. We’d like to understand why you think the software of old. SHIELD TV has the latest OS from Google (Android N) which is a newer interface than any other streaming media player. If you are experience slow performance with a USB stick it is important to try ones recommended by NVIDIA since they have been tested to perform with no performance issues. You can find this list here: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/4334. At your convenience, please contact our 24/7 customer care at www.nvidia.com/nvcc and provide this reference number 170303-000467 specific to your case so that we can help you out and learn more about your concerns. nvidia

    The best Android box ever, but take care of plug.

    It's one of the best Android boxes ever. But I do wish the app store would have a lot more apps then it does. The AC controller is an issue it's only made for Nvidia and only sold with the unit. No one sells the AC adapter, not even Nvidia. I wish that they will change this and be able to sell one.
