Reddit reviews NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player with GeForce NOW

https://www.google.com/amp/s/androidtv.news/2016/12/possible-nvidia-shield-2-website-leaks-new-controller-amazon-video/amp/

Edit: So I provide an article with legitimate information supporting the claim, and people downvote. Got it.

Edit 2: I was right. Amazon 4K HDR video being advertised with the new Shield! https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

The new Shield TV models include both the new TV remote and the new game controller: https://smile.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Shield-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/

Still the same price ($199) as the original Shield TV.

The new remote and controller are also sold separately, so that owners of the original Shield TV can upgrade their accessories if they want to without repurchasing the entire console (since the basic hardware remains the same and the new features are coming to the original Shield TV in a software update).

So for those bummed out about this and are looking for alternatives here are a few options

1. build one yourself with a raspberry pi
   I would recommend using a RPi2 or RPI3 rather than the zero.
   check out these subreddits for more info
   
   r/retropie
   
   r/recalbox (my personal favorite os for emulation)
   
   r/lakka
   
   
2. use an android box for emulation
   
   amazon fire tv
   
   Nvidia shield tv
   
   Emtec gembox
   
   
3. use an old laptop or desktop
   look on craigslist for old computers you can usually find one under $50 that will work just fine
   both lakka os and recalbox os have x86 ports that run fine on desktop
   i also recommend a bluetooth adapter and a 8bitdo controller
   
   
4. if your looking for something more portable putting homebrew launcher on a 3ds or 2ds works really well
   check out r/3dshacks for that

That's what I thought. Here it is again straight from the app.

NVIDIA SHIELD TV Streaming Media Player [2017 Version] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KdjzzbPPYPY9S

> nvidia shield game

Is it really worth $200? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1NT9Y6

edit there's a pro for $300 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYV94H3

[Yes] (https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6)

According to Amazon, it comes out on January 16, with a Pro version releasing at the end of the month.

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

Not going to lie, I'd much rather have a new Portable, though.

So did Amazon leak the price of the new Shield and the release date?

$199.99 and January 16th. Kind of disappointed that they didn't lower the price.

Also note how Amazon Video is shown in the list of apps in the picture below.

Seriously, you are back spamming this sub

Why ?

No one cares what you think and we already know these boxes

I suggest no one click on the links and if you find it interesting, just search the brand name in Amazon.

Clearly TVA is running low on cash and is trying to get links from people who don't know

Adam:. Your one downvote doesn't mean shit

I don't ever remember a sale on the newer models, either. CamelCamelCamel confirms that $179 is the lowest the price has been on Amazon.

Yup, $149 last year on Amazon


With controller didn't hit lowest price til second week of December ($159). Worth getting even if you don't plan on using it. Can easily resell the controller for ~$50.

Android TV very good setup and will fit your budget read the reviews from the buyers that's only opinion that matter from people that actually own these products.

I've been keeping an eye on these for a little while and just pulled the trigger on this. I'll personally be using it as a Plex server/client to take some of the load off my PC

Just wanted to high five - took delivery of the exact same TV this morning!

I'd be willing to bet the TV would support just about any size hard drive. I can't imagine that they rolled their own eg. NTFS implementation for whatever OS the thing uses. But like /u/GbMaxSE said - honestly, don't.

You've just spent that kind of money on a TV, I would also highly recommend an Nvidia Shield.

It's only $190 on Amazon. The hell you mean Rare lol. That more than a Pi sure, but it offers more than a PI and is cheaper than a Switch.

A Switch is basically a downgraded Nvidia Shield.

Found the new one on Amazon, has the new controller

Marketing info is the same/similar as the old Shield TV

e.g.

old

> Expand your entertainment with the best gaming streamer experience that’s 3X more powerful than Apple TV.

new

> It's everything you want in one game-changing device that's 3X faster than competitors

So its probably the same, which explains why they didn't talk about improved performance during the keynote

Depends on how much you want to spend. A Pi3 would be the cheapest. But it might be easier setup to grab an Android TV box and put an emulator on it. BUt again it all depends on how much you want to spend

Here some Android options:

Nvidia Shield is $20 off for $179.99. Not amazing, but if you were thinking of getting one already, it seems to be the lowest price I can find them.

The clients with the best compatability for 4k content are the Nvidia Shield and a PC running Plex Media Player.

Also, Your 960 is not going to choke playing 4k content. The weaker Integrated Graphics on Intel CPUs are more than capable of streaming 4k content.

Lucky, I got a price tag of 260 here in canada

No Shield TV? I use that and it's amazing.

EDIT: I meant Android TV so a Mi Box or perhaps a Nexus player if you can find it would work.

Was referring to the Nvidia Shield

What GPU do you have? If you have a fairly recent Nvidia setup, the best way (in my opinion) is to run a Nvidia Shield TV device and stream the gaming directly to that device.

I have one at home - works fantastically. Was worried that it wouldn't work for Steam, but not only does it work for Steam, it works for Origin and all other gaming as well!

Assuming you talk about this.

Impossible to know for sure, but the fact that they are not taking orders at all suggests they are not sure if they will ever get more of them. But unless NVIDIA has discontinued it in favor of the remote-only bundle, my guess is that Amazon will get more stock at some point.

Note that Best Buy still has the full bundle in stock for $169.99.

The best streaming device for TVs.

Get outta here with your ref links

$259.99 for a shield tv

The K1 is from my readings the best Android tablet on the market for gaming.



Sadly Nvidia discontinued it, I'm assuming they have a new model coming.

I only paid like $160 or so they are on Amazon for almost $300!

If Dokkan supported a controller I would have gotten the [Nvidia Shield TV](NVIDIA SHIELD TV | Streaming Media Player with Remote & Game Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XnmdBb3TT2V5F) it just got the Oreo update to.


So I'm not sure what tablet would be budget friendly as literally I only use that tablet for dokkan and that's pretty much it.

No, the boxes themselves are not illegal. I have two of these

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

This is just a fancy "Android Box". The boxes you are talking about are usually cheap chinese boxes. Again, the box is not illegal but the cheap chinese boxes might not last very long or will never be update where as the one I linked to above continues to be updated every so often. I think I have been through 3 or 4 major updates.

The software that these boxes you are referring to falls into a sort of gray area. Last I checked most came with Kodi pre installed.

https://kodi.tv/

Some have a fork of Kodi

https://kodi.wiki/view/Forks

Now there is nothing ilegal with Kodi or a fork of Kodi. Where things get a bit messy is the addons that are available for Kodi. I have not messed with Kodi in sometime but a major addon at the time was Exodus. Exodus was basically a way to pirate content. Search for whatever you want to watch and the addon would look for a source.

There are now some pretty good stand alone .apk's that are very easy to use. These boxes you are referring to might come with a few of theses apk's and Kodi installed.

Again it's kind of a gray area. I know there have been sellers of these boxes that have got into a bit of trouble. Same with people you make the Kodi addons and apk's. There was an .apk called Terrarium TV. The developer sent out an update one day and basically killed the app and vanished. I am guessing his .apk became a little to big and he was feeling the pressure.

You also have IPTV. Recently a lot of IPTV providers were shut down. Several different international police agencies were involved.

I give all this info to highlight that as an end user it is kinda a gray area. I don't know of anyone who has been sent to jail for using any of the above but the people who provide the above have had their share of issues.

The people who sell these boxes see it as a way to make a quick buck. Buy a bunch of cheap boxes. Load them up with pirating software that available for free and sell the boxes with a huge markup.

There is nothing stopping me from loading any of the above listed ways of pirating content on Nvidia Shield but I would never do such a thing.

Edit: I submitted my post to soon and left out the following:

Concerning what you can do? Nothing! The people who sell these boxes come and go. Make new account if they get banned. On facebook if a group gets shutdown a new one will emerge. Unless you are willing to make it a life goal and spend all your time and recoreces fighting this fight there is not anything you can do. In some counties there are no anti piracy laws and as a result a lot of servers that host content are located in those countries. You will find yourself fighting a battle you will never win.

I've only had mine for 7 DAYS and I absolutely love it. I have several other streaming devices and this is now my favorite. I purchased it from Amazon. Link below. Also, I just ordered a Rii i28 mini keyboard for $18.99 but many people like the phone app.

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nvidia+shield&qid=1556041572&s=electronics&sr=1-3

What kind of things are you trying to accomplish with your setup? You'd probably be a lot more future proof by getting an Nvidia Shield for $70 more.

START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated July 2017)


I prefer the Xiaomi Mi Box or nVIDIA Shield for android tv os and voice search in SPMC. You can buy the Xiaomi Mi Box at your local walmart for $69.

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550174763&sr=8-3&keywords=nvidia+shield

It runs a variant of Android OS, with some nvidia tweaks I believe.

107 on Amazon right now.

Here are two sources. Your search should turn up more.

I agree Shield TV is $209 at the moment according to Amazon.ca

NVIDIA SHIELD TV | Streaming Media Player with Remote & Game Controller - 945-12897-2500-002 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Y4iaCbF97Z1K7




I know the Wetek Core also had a very good reputation a while back but I just wanted to see if it has held up as unlike the Shield TV it hasn't been updated.

Nvidia Shield

you can literally replace their cableboxes with this https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550172604&sr=8-3&keywords=nvidia+shield which is normally $170

Shield TV Box I use now for the best experience. I used to use Steam Link but it's capped at 1080p.

Shield TV Box with hardwired ethernet gets me full 4k (2160p). No turning back!
https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

Sorry for the confusion. Here is what I am talking about. Amazon offers two versions. One is labeled as a Pro Media Server and the other is a Streaming Media Player.

I don't want to stream shit. I just want to play emulated games from this device to my TV. No interaction with anything else.

What are your thoughts on using the $199 version for local emulation (N64, Dreamcast, PSX, etc.)?

Here is the Streaming Version: $199
https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495148739&sr=8-3&keywords=Nvidia%2BShield&th=1

Here is the Server Version: $299
https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Pro-Home-Media-Server/dp/B01MYV94H3/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1495149341&sr=8-4&keywords=Nvidia+Shield

The Xiaomi Mi Box is plug and play. You can add kodi on it if you want.

Or

Nvidia Sheild is also plug and play. More expensive but you can buy it without the gaming remote. This is the one I personally use.

Both can add kodi if you want to and both work from google play store.

Otherwise Apple TV works too but just as expensive as the Nvidia shield. But you can only add MrMc which is a kodi like app.

Hope that helps. If you need help with set up, message me (FYI I’m in Australia so may be a delay on a reply).

Eu uso uma Nvidia Shield Android TV com PLEX

Not entering.

The GeForce Now beta is included when you buy an NVIDIA Shield TV. In fact, that's how I got it. I know many of you can't afford a high end gaming PC, but maybe $188 (via Amazon) for the NVIDIA Shield is doable. Just a thought.

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=nvidia+shield+tv&qid=1563630614&s=gateway&sprefix=nvi&sr=8-3

I think you might want to lower your price on the Shield, the brand new one coming out in a couple weeks cost the same amount as you're asking.
https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-TV-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

Personally this has been the greatest investment

https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Streaming-Media-Player-Version/dp/B01N1NT9Y6

You can add a microSD for more storage. Raspberry Pi is cheaper but not as powerful. This will do PS1/N64/PSP/Some Dreamcast games with ease!

Supposedly there’s a new model releasing soon-ish. I think this is the one I picked up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KL.NDbX3V3JM0

Do you want the gaming controller as well or just the controller for watching/streaming

This is a good price. Get this one.
