O man yeah I just love buying spyware boxes from China and Russia! Any no name android box is a big no no you should watch the LTT video on what's hiding in those things.
Same. Really all this as going for it is at this point is good AI upscaling and plex support (codecs etc) if you need neither, the Apple TV is much better hardware.
This should really be around $120 at this point.

There are alternatives that are actually superior to Shield in almost every way now. For example, the Homatics Box R 4k Plus / Dune HD / Nokia 8010 / RockTek G2 devices.

I can't recommend anyone buying a shield if they like to watch Hulu at all, unless you plan on having another box just for Hulu. Google Shield p-dev320. Mine hasnt been able to play anything on Hulu in approximately a year and it seems like neither or Nvidia or Hulu are going to do anything about it.
Hulu works fine on my three shields. Not sure why it doesn't seem to work for some people.

Only Nvidia Shield Pro supports lossless, which makes it the better option over Apple TV for audiophiles and anyone who uses the Shield pro as a plex server for true lossless playback of film audio tracks.
Xbox series S running Plex can decode lossless Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and supports 4K, 120Hz. It is so much more powerful for a bit more $$.

Old tech yes. But still my workhorse streaming PLEX media from attached external hard drive.

If anyone has a better recommendation to direct steam PLEX to my TV for cheap and not taking up too much space in the cabinet below my TV, I'm all ears. But for now, I'm a fan and have had good success.

Worth noting: HULU app has been frustrating on this, but I'm able to stream/cast from my phone to Shield easily without issues.
Have a NAS, and use Google tv to stream. What does this thing do that Plex on Google or Samsung can't?

The upscaling didn't look any better with Shield so returned it.

Don't understand it's use if you have a NAS. And or $200, just get a NAS isntead.

Except when the updates makes it worst. Just had to factory wipe mine and restart
I've had two since they came out and I've never once had a problem like that. Perhaps a poor connection is causing file corruption.

The 2017 older remote rubber buttons became sticky after non use feet for a long time.

Nvidia shield has the best AI upscaler. None of these newer tvs or media players can match it. And not everything is native 4k. If you have a 4k tv it is worth it.
Disagree. Have qn95b and upscaling didn't do anything for quality. Truly wish I can understand why people love this. Yes, I've knocked it because I did try it and played with it for few weeks and saw no difference but yet having another UI to get used to. Not too mention the very real possibility at this stage that it gets discontinued entirely. I don't trust Nvidia to even release a new version actually. It'll go the way Logitech did with Harmony - wildly popular and then poof, gone.

I have this and the only thing I don't like it is the remote. Going from the LG air mouse to the left/right/up/down remote is crazy.

There are aftermarket remotes but I'm not sure which of them are good.

I bought one a few months ago and really wanted to like it, but it was really buggy. Such a shame as I'd heard great things about it. Perhaps it was the newer software. Returned.

yeah, it worked fine on mine for 2 years too. I have Chromecasts, Fire TV's, Roku, Smart TV's, tablets, phones, PC's in my house on the same network and I've never seen the error even once on any of them. I've factory reset a few times, screwed around with all the supposed "fixes" that are out there and it still keeps happening.

There's a ton of people out there having the same thing and it never gets fixed.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAn...error_fix/

People post "solutions" that work for like 3 people and dont do anything for most people. I'm thinking its probably just random and it will recur eventually anyway.

Its the weirdest thing that Nvidia and Hulu can't get their shit fixed. I like my Shield way more than any of the other boxes I've had, but the Hulu thing kills it because I have so many people in my house that watch Hulu more than anything else.
