Nice review, particularly for someone not familiar with Android TV. I appreciated how you went on into the settings and explained several features. Couple of little things. The Remote finder also works with the Shield app on your phone as well as a full remote, and full featured keyboard for entering those pesky sign in credentials.

I'm not going back to cable so, this even at $199.00 would be a great choice for Tvision, Philo, etc without the hassle of trying to keep up with changes in streaming devices?

Nice video. I do wish you had mentioned the fact that it does not have an IR receiver and cannot easily be controlled by standard IR universal remotes. With my prior Roku, it was super easy to set up to be controlled by my Harmony 700 remote, but with this, I either need to get the Harmony hub or a IR to USB receiver. Having spent almost $200 for this I was extremely disappointed that they omitted this feature.

I got the 2018 Shield as I was constantly looking for the best streaming device. I recently got the 2019 model for my living room, and the AI upscaling is the main difference between the two. Doesn’t matter what quality link I’m streaming, the picture quality is amazing. It’s only after getting this device I’m seeing the true uses and quality of my 4K TV. I don’t game so use this for mainly streaming. May give the gaming a try one day. You wouldn’t regret owning this device if you can/willing to pay the price of it.

My remote will not turn on the Shield. I have to use the tv remote to turn it on. Once it is on, the Shield remote will work fine, and WILL turn it off, just not on. Nvidea has been unable to help with this issue. It would be nice to have a mute button on the remote. Also, the LED light never changes. It doesn't indicate, no matter what I change in settings, that it has been turned on. It is always a dull green. My original Shield stopped streaming after 10 months, and they sent me another Shield (refurbished) that works fine, except for the issues mentioned above. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Or do i have to buy the wireless adapter for the xbox one controllers and plug that into the shield? I've seen that only the shield pro has USB.

I am looking to replace my aging WDTV Live and I was always able to download movie posters which made scrolling through at lot nicer to look at than just file names. Thank you!
@Wanderer001_Reviews3 жыл бұрын
That looks to be more from the hardware system itself that did that. With this you would need to use something like Plex in order to do that. However, it is free to use and I love it. I have been using it for well over a decade now.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews so you're saying that you can download movie posters for files on your hard drive by using PLEX to as the media player?
@Wanderer001_Reviews3 жыл бұрын
@@Sk3pT1kal82 Yes/no. The poster data would only be viewable through Plex. If you were to just look through the files themselves it would just be names like any normal hard drive. It really does look like the WDTV Live was a all in one style device that had a little extra magic happening with it.

This may be a series of stupid questions, but please forgive my ignorance. But I'm sure the viewers of this channel can help. Is there a good reason to drop another $200 + peripherals on this, if my wife has our powerful 4k entertainment system in the bedroom, I'm satisfied with my laptop (i7 9750, 16gb ram, rtx 2060) and 1080p TV for sports/gaming in the basement, and the kids are happy with their last gen consoles (I know the new gens are out, but the supply is limited) and 1080p TVs in their rooms? Don't flame my ignorance. I'm just not trying to spend unnecessary money, even though this tech looks good. I'm guessing this would be good in the family room (which has our best 4k TV in the house) for movie night or something? Please inform me, what would be a good purpose for this tech in my household, if we all have smart TVs? Trying to find a great Christmas gift for the family, as a whole. If I can drop only $200, and get good value for us all, I'm ready to pull the trigger immediately. I'm still young enough that I want to impress the kids, before they think I'm a tech dinosaur lol. _Edit: If it matters, I upgraded us to fiber internet last year for the upload speed, because my son likes to stream. So our internet is 1/gbs down & 500 mbs up. Oh yeah, one more question for you tech nerds. Why does upload speed cost so much more than download speed?_

Based on your setup description I'm not sure this is going to do you any good. The main selling point of The Shield is that it has access to the Nvidia GeForce now system. Information can be found in this link: www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/. Again based on what you've described your setups would still be better than this.

True but the shield is more than just a set-top streaming box is also a gaming platform. So they do kind of hedge their bets a little bit that way.
