    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.

      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

    It´s a little expensive, I gave it a long thought before I bought it, but experiencing all the gaming experience besides the lightning fast video processing, it worth every single penny I invested in it. NVIDIA ROCKS!

    Streaming services and local games work great. The remote is awesome and will turn TV on off and operate volume on my receiver, huge plus. The Nvidia game stream and steam game stream from my gaming PC are terrible though. Lags. Disconnects and freezes all the time. Both are hardwired with CAT6 to an very high end asus router. Unfortunate for game streaming but excellent media device.

    Nvidia knocks it out of the park with this one. add a external hard drive and wireless mouse/keyboard and this is one great machine . Has a bit of a higher than normal learning curve to setup. but lots of support out for this device.

    Its fast, and works. There are a few issues though, one 16gb drive has basically no space to record shows, wish could turn off the tv and keep the unit on from its remote. Sometimes it is slow to access from off network. Have not found a way to access external attached hard drive. DVR function to seems to not always catch when to start stop. Overall recommend.

    Not an ease android device to use it is more like Amazon and the app store for google hard to use the voice command basically for youtube. the game controller is nice but unable to use a wireless mouse I might have to buy a Bluetooth mouse. If you just want to use it for games and youtube probably no better device but if you want to use it for android tv save your money and do not buy

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Besides being the only way to get Amazon Prime on Android TV, if that matters enough to you, it is the best experience and most updated user interface that exist. 25+ updates over 3 years and still going strong.

    The Nvidia Shield is perhaps the best Android TV box on the market. It sets up fast, beautiful image quality and very snappy response. The remote is slick and easy to use. Gaming is fast and impressive. Apple has no monopoly on cool.

    We love the shield. Our home has four of this in different rooms. We used them to replace the cable boxes. You will need an HDHomerun product to achieve this. But, it's saved us quite a bit of money.
