For those that bought it and have an Hdhomerun Prime Tuner, the Nvidia Shield TV now supports DRM protected channels thanks through the HD Homerun App.

Watching DRM through the LiveTV App: https://forum.silicondu Make sure you've configured Live Channels to use the HDHomeRun app (HDHomeRun Input) as the channel source. Enable both Network Tuner and HDHomerun. Under homerun, check the DRM Channels, and under Network Tuner, uncheck the DRM channels. You cannot record them anyways. |

The ShieldTV will likely have more app choices than your LG, and as a whole will be a faster experience. With the LG, you're stuck with whatever LG decides to put up on Web OS, and depending on how new your TV is, you might be stuck with what you have and nothing new. I have a 2015 LG OLED with Web OS 2.0--LG has no plans to push out a Web OS 3.0 update to my TV, so I'm stuck with whatever apps I have, so I don't use the smart tv functions at all anymore. Current LG TVs have Web OS 3.0, with more current app offerings, but be prepared for LG to cut off support at some point so they can try and get you to buy the 2020 model.
The Shield has access to the google marketplace, and a slew of apps--all of which are up-to-date (as is the Shield). Much better support than LG.
I'm not sure what apps are available on the Xbox One X or how good the user experience is. I have a One S, and I don't use it for any streaming apps. I'd already had the Shield before I got the Xbox though, so I didn't exactly have to make a shift. But the using the shield is much faster and quieter than the Xbox. Menus are nicer too (IMO) on the Shield.
I primarily use my shield as a cable set top box (I have an HD Home Run Prime with cable card elsewhere in my house). I use the HDHR app for live TV. I think Xbox has that too, and you can also use it for live TV on the Plex app, which is probably on both Xbox and the LG.
Bottom line though is I love this thing, and I now have three of them in my house.
It plays almost every video format:
Format/Container support: Xvid/ DivX/ASF/AVI/MKV/MOV/M2TS/MPEG-TS/MP4/WEB-M
Ditto for the audio:
Audio support: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WAVE, AMR, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, PCM, WMA, WMA-Pro, WMA-Lossless, DD+/DTS (pass-through), Dolby Atmos (pass-through), Dolby TrueHD (pass-through), DTS-X, and DTS-HD (pass-through)
So yes it can play any video either on a USB stick or hard drive on your PC/network.

Got one... Been kind of buggy though lately in regards to Plex server.

do I need this if I have an OLED TV LG (with built in apps) and a Xbox one X??
Most of the streaming apps I have on my OLED TV anyway or XBox one X? any advantage of the shield?
Does this work like a steam link as well? I do have a powerful gaming PC
thanks
It can act as a streaming server itself, and stream games fairly well if u have an Nvidia gpu. Otherwise it's a good andriod TV device, nothing ground breaking
