Reddit reviews Nvidia Shield Tegra k-1 8.0 inch 16GB Tablet 3 items Bundle:Nvidia Shield Tegra K-1 Tablet,Newer Version Nvidia Shield Controller,Mytrix standard USB-to-Micro USB Charging Cable

Xiaomi MiBox or (assuming money is no object) the Nvidia Shield(expensive, but you get what you pay for).

Out of the budget options, they seem to mostly be the same, just be sure to get at least 2GB of ram. The processors in these ones seem to almost all be either S905 or s905x with very little difference between the 2.

I just ordered a very cheap TX95 myself because I won't use it too much so didn't invest in a high quality device. Looks like good value, but could be a total pile of shite.


Also invest in a wireless minikeyboard for using it if you don't have one.

I want to move over from a nVidia Shield to something more powerful.

My budget for this is around 500 euros.
What would you recommend me to get? It needs to be able support 3 or more streams simultaneously (the Shield can handle 2 now).

The OS doesn't matter to me, as only Plex will be running on the device, nothing else.

I can assemble a PC myself, so just recommendations on CPU/GPU within the budget are fine as well.

I just want the complete build to fit around the 500 euro budget.

I have 2 Synology NAS, so the device doesnt need a whole lot of storage except for the OS and enough for Plex to be able to its thing.

It's also important that Im able to move the current Plex database from the Shield to the new OS (I already did a transfer once from a Rapsberry Pi to the Shield). I dont know if all Plex versions use the same database on all OS'es.

The Shield I own is this one:

Thank you!

It's discounted by 10% this morning on Amazon UK. I'm not sure whether to buy now or hope for a bigger discount tomorrow. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NBJ6KZY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=18ABLNXXM89PK&coliid=I2FOQ72OJV2D3W&psc=1

The best one I can think of is the nVidia shield TV box, it's expensive but it can use catch up services, you can use an external IPTV but you'll need an HD Homerun

It should also support DNLA if you use something like Kodi on it which can be downloaded directly. You can try and use Kodi to watch Freeview without the HD Homerun but I've found the experience to be less than stellar.

As for recording Freeview, it has a thing called shadowplay installed so you can use it to record stuff.
