I swear, when they come out with a newer version of this, no one will be able to get one for years.

Easiest the best streaming player in existence - and I've tried them all. Reliable, stable, consistent and still gets updates years later.

I looked into this but having a 10/100 ethernet kills it for me. Seriously Amazon, why put a 10/100 ethernet on a device like this?
Yeah that is a disappointment. You still get over 300Mbps with a USB gigabit Ethernet adapter. More than 300Mbps isn't going to make any noticable difference for video playback. Maybe if you are downloading > GB files to the internal storage. But how many people are doing that frequently enough that is worth paying the extra $40-60.

You can buy a USB hub with integrated gigabit Ethernet for $10-15 and still end up saving money over the Shield.

Quote from CoreyR2384 :
It's the same device and chip as the model released in 2015, but with extra storage and a slightly overclocked GPU. The chip is on a slightly smaller node, but that only helps slightly with power consumption. This hardware is ancient, as far as computer hardware is concerned. The 16nm node these are made on is from 2013. I'm not saying a $200 TV box needs to be manufactured on TSMCs expensive 4nm like Nvidias GPU's, but there's no way these should cost this much when $100 phones have more powerful hardware these days (and cost significantly more to make).
So, then not 7 years. Thx for confirming.

The 3rd gen Cube. It only has 10/100 Ethernet, but you still get over 300Mbps with a gigabit USB Ethernet adapter/hub.

If you are using WiFi then it's not something you have to worry about. WiFi5/6E get you well over 300Mbps on their own.

How does Atmos etc sound with this going into a decent avr? How about music streaming through it using Amazon HD and Tidal through a decent avr?

If you get it free, that is good for you not for us.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Onn. 4k Google TV that is the same OS as the ripped off Shield pro has.
It does same do upscaling.
What hell you talking about upscaling. Onn 4k Google TV play 4k/60hz on my 4K TV/monitor, no need fake upscaling or downscaling.
Onn. Google TV can install LineageOS , mine is on LineageOS Google TV (android 13), it has nightly update available if you want. Your ripped off won't get update anywhere close
ONN android tv has not good upscaling, I am talking about 720P/1080P to 4k with AI upscaling, not like ONN android TV

I tried comparison by playing old sereis 720p/1080P. ONN android tv is not good on upscaling. do you ever try having shield pro?
please read my post

you are flashing with lineageOS, not original one . ok fair enough due to replacing original android . nightly update is not stable release, I had been using lineageOS and know the drills.

again do you own home theater? ONN android tv can NOT passthrough to my Receive and DO NOT SUPPORT DVr.

please read my post again
my comprision for functionalities, not concern about android tv 13 :-D
* shield can do passthrough , ONN is no bueno,
* sheild have AI upscalling, ONN is no bueno
*shield always having update from nvidia (5-6 times this year for fixes and security update). ONN is only 1-2 update this year. <--- orginal android tv not lineageOS
* shield has DV supports and love it. ONN is no bueno
*

shield has features for home theater, ONN is for simplicity.

if you do not have home theater setting, big screen 4K (mid-top tier tv model), receiver, 7.2 speaker, and dedicated room for your pleasure, you are wasted $$$ buying shields.....

I hope you understand what I am saying, ONN android tv is good for playing to any TV not Home Theater

if you do not understand
* does ONN android tv support DV?
* Does ONN android tv support passthrough?
* Do You ever try to compared shield AI Upscaling to ONN upscaling?

if still not understanding, I totally lost hahah....

does cube tv can passthrough others than TrueHD and DTS-HD ?

interesting if cube can passthrough mostly likes nvidia shield.

300mb should good enough. Actually, I use usb 1gb ethernet dongle for my chinese android box flashed with corelec, 100mb is not enough :-P. I bought $8 for usb ethernet dongle.

any AI upscaling like nvidia shield on cube tv? this is the 2nd priority to me when picked shield pro years back.

The 3rd gen Cube already had the ability to passthrough other formats like DD and DD+. The new update adds DTS, TrueHD and DTS-HD.

Yes the Cube also has AI upscaling which also got updated in the same OTA as the new passthrough options, but I haven't seen it so I can't say how much of a difference there is.

Reluctantly in for one because it would be my luck that Nvidia makes an announcement for a new model (finally).

Seriously though, it's still the king of set top boxes imho. Thanks OP.
