I swear, when they come out with a newer version of this, no one will be able to get one for years.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

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.
Are you confirming with first hand experience or taking about the Amazon rep response. Also, do you know if plex can play atmos on cube? I returned Apple TV and close to return window on shield, will jump to cube if you are confirming from your first hand experience

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....
Dude, it's cgigate...I would recommend ignore. I thought he was banned but it appears he's back.

Seriously, this thing needs to be updated especially at the price. Before anyone jumps on me about it being the best and not understanding, I own one.

thanks for the reminder.

Recent years no many activities in SD, not knowing how is cgigate behavior.
at the end, I already pointed 3 major features that ONN android tv do not exist, only on shield (pro) premium hahah. If cgigate still insist it, I totally lost and just ignore cgigate posting for peace and not lowering down to cgigate level :-P

for recent 3 years, I mostly monitoring r3dd1t deals :-D,

have a good holiday season.

lol. I asked mostly the same question to @josephinelp , so far, no response.

if fire cube can compete with shield feature, would like to try to get on and do comparison between shield pro and fire cube. My main force is 2019 shield pro started 3 years ago and happy that achieve my expectations

I don't have the a 3rd gen Cube with the latest update. But the update has literally just started to rollout this week, and most Cubes are supposed to have it by the end of the week.There are multiple people on Reddit confirming that TrueHD/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough is working now.

DD+ Atmos passthrough already worked previously, I haven't seen any specify mention of TrueHD Atmos yet. I've seen it mentioned that passthrough is working in Emby, nothing specifically about Plex.

This update wasn't announced ahead of time by Amazon, so most that own a 3rd gen Cube probably aren't even aware of the new passthrough options.

Hopefully there will be some proper reviews of the new update soon

Better than the Xbox or playstation? This is the current cost of a Xbox one x which was a ton more horsepower and plays Blu-ray.
Does the Xbox have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ app?

I hate the ads/carousel and have done everything possible to try and remove them (and keep them gone). No dice. That said, it's not Nvidia that caused this, it's Google and the "Android 11.0 powered by Android TV". Nvidia had no choice but to adopt it if they wanted to offer OS upgrades.
You have to use an alternative launcher, its definitely doable. You can even delete google home via ADB.

But the updates can definitely break it for years. I'm at the point where it's stable but after having the sound cutting out problem for a year after one update I now look at the official forums and check for weeks if the updates break things, and sadly There's lots of problems there. So it is amazing, but man it will really frustrate you sometimes.
It's a buggy unreliable mess. I got the non Pro version because I was sick of the ads on the Fire Stick 4k, combining settop box and Chromecast was very appealing. Really disappointed at how bad the software experience was.

Ended up getting an Apple TV 4K and am very pleased, just a dumb conduit to the apps I use, third party developers update to that platform first, good Dolby Vision support. Chromecast support back to ye olde Chromecast Ultra.

Quote from bdb :
There are several "air mouse" remotes that typically have a USB interface. We've used a few of these over the years. We used a little USB hub to handle two of them. They often conflict with each other, so you push a button and it registers as two button pushes. Also they go to sleep after a short while and the way to wake them up is to push a button, so if you push a button it may or may not work (depending on whether it's asleep). Yeah the new Shield remote is twice as expensive but it has none of these frustrations (it has the problem that the Netflix button is easy to accidentally hit, but at least there's a workaround).
Quote from tommyvelocity :
There are a few on amazon. The 2019 one can be found for $29 on amazon and various other online retailers: https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Mot...500&sr=8-3
Thanks and repped for the info.

The important thing is the new Shield remote or "air mouse" ones will work with the old 2017 Shield?

I just did a search to see the difference between the 2017 and 2019/current Shield models. One comparison basically says the new Shields have (1) a 25% faster processor and (2) better remote and they can do (3) Dolby Vision. I can't say for sure if I've played Dolby Vision on my 2017 Shield, but I know 4K, HDR10, Dolby Atmos and all the other formats play just fine. Other than these 3 things, do the newer Shields do anything else the 2017 doesn't?
