    Super easy to setup and extremely fast interface. Use mine for streaming games from my PC to the living room and it's more than up for the task. Also use it as a Kodi box and works great there, too.

    Besides having almost every single streaming app we need (waiting on CW), this is an awesome gaming console with tons of Android games and GeForce Now games to choose from. We couldn't happier!

    Great console, I especially love controlling the TV with the gaming controller, makes it nice and easy to use vs a remote. Added an external WD 4tb HDD for Plex to complete setup. Removed one star as I find some of the App interface not the easiest to understand or find things, remove apps and switch order etc.

    Android OS is Oreo. Latest and greatest. Supports Youtube TV, Netflix, and Kodi. Half the size of the original but just as powerful.

    Great, fast media streamer. Plus it'll stream your PC games installed on your computer. Harness the power of your PC on your tv. Very fast. The apps load much faster than on a video game console.

    Netflix loads much faster on this then on my smart TV. I love having Netflix and Prime available on one unit! The only thing that held me back is that for approx. $100 more you can get an Xbox one S and be able to play blueray DVDS. I wish the Shield also had a blue ray player. I would be willing to pay more to avoid having multiple units.

    The Nvidia shield was everything I was looking for out of an Android TV box. Plus, the ability to play high end games using GEFORCE NOW is amazing as well. 9/10 would recommend.

    Iove the capability to stream my PC games to the shield w the push of a button. UI is simple & isn't cluttered too bad. Only issue is that when switching inputs from the AV receiver back to the shield, the screen stays black on the TV sometimes but you can still hear sound. Restarting the entire setup usually rectifies the problem.

    Bought it, tried it, returned it. I want this product to succeed I really do. I am a huge nVidia GPU fan. Long time Roku user here and the interface just wasn't there yet. I'm sure with a few updates it will be more in line with my expectations. Here's to the future!

    This box allows all your media/ game box/ streaming sources to be selected and sent to any TV. It also acts as a Plex server, a full time, low power use, dedicated device connected to your network storage. Also works with HD Homerun tuners for over the air and DVR. Product documentation needs improvement.

    It's a good stream device, when setting up Plex it makes things so much better. The only issues I have is the remote/controller, there's a delay when trying to make selections. Recommend using the app if you have issues with the remote.
