I have the Harmony Hub/Smart Home. It is the boring looking remote, but don't let it's loks fool you, it is one of the most powerful. You can also use your smart-phone too, which is nice if the remote is JUUUUUUSSST out of reach. :)

Check out this one if you have smart lights/plugs.

And this one if you want the same one with no home control buttons.

Once you get it set up (it could take an hour+ if you arent familiar with the software) it is amazing!

u/Rapmullet · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

I bought this on a whim and got to say it's been great on my 2015 shield 16g. Easy to set up and super responsive. Only limitation I've noticed is using kodi sometimes but it's been great so far.

Bought this last week and couldn't be happier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P322VRP/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_3P-0Db1AKDHHN

USB remote, not Bluetooth. But it has a working mic button and an air mouse feature which is really really nice for when I'm using Firefox to watch some sports streams or if I'm sharing my desktop using gamestream. The airmouse is gesture based so you can wave the remote around. Takes a few minutes to get used to but works really well.

Since it's not Bluetooth, there's zero delay when you press a button and the dedicated power button is really nice.

This is the best I've found although, it is not working correctly with the new Hulu app. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

P.S. How is Roku a closed system? Any provider can create a channel for Roku.

u/The_Harbaugh_Face · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

The Harmony Companion has been a life changer. It's reliably responsive and is remarkably comfortable to hold. It's a significant price jump from the remotes in the review, but I wholeheartedly recommend it if you have other boxes and smart lights.

u/tb21666 · 2 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

I use a 3rd party remote that runs on 2 AAA's & replace them maybe twice a year on my main box that gets heavy use daily.

Works great on both the Shield Pro & Mi Box without issue & the air mouse functionality is beyond useful!

u/jakegh · 2 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

I use a harmony hub and smart control, which has been on sale as cheaply as $58. It controls the ShieldTV over bluetooth for zero lag. The hub itself has extremely powerful IR blasters to handle devices that can't be controlled over IP or bluetooth.

The remote is RF, so you don't have to worry about pointing it at the TV. It's all buttons, no screen, which I strongly prefer, and lasts well over a year on a single coin battery.

It does not support voice control (but the ShieldTV gamepad will do that, if you have one) or air mouse. You can use the Harmony app on android/iOS or the AndroidTV app for that matter to do that stuff. The apps work as a keyboard too.

I bought a Seagate 2TB Expansion drive (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TKFEE5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and am really happy with it.

I plugged it in to a Win10 box and removed the existing partition, then plugged it into my 2017 16gb Shield and let it format it for external storage. Then I installed an FTP server on it and now I can access it easily without dropoffs or lost connections from my network. Instructions here - http://nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-android-tv/tutorial-ftp-server-on-shield-android-tv/

Also bought a 128GB USB stick (more like a stub - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGTG2A0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and formatted that for internal storage.

u/xythian · 5 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

I'm just using the basic Logitech Harmony Smart Control.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ5RYI4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8

Works like a charm and controls my TV, AVR, and Shield.

u/OakFern · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

If you can hold out for a while, you should be able to pick it up for around $100CAD. A little steep still, but better than $180. I got mine for $99.99 CAD at BestBuy during their Boxing Week sale at the end of last year.

​

It's been down under $100 CAD on Amazon too, although it looks like $130 CAD is the more typical sale price: https://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/Logitech-Harmony-Companion-Entertainment-915-000239/product/B00N3RFC4G

This is a good option to get DV at a good price. There is also a belkin cable food for DV. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
For best DV results, stuck to 2m/6ft cables.

The 2017 model is the latest version.

I recently purchased the Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD for OTA on my 16GB 2017 Shield. I am using the built-in Live Channels app to watch TV. The WinTV dongle works perfectly with Live Channels.

I did buy a powered indoor antenna as well. I placed the antenna in a window and most of the channels have zero dropouts.

I did nothing to setup the WinTV other than connect it, then open Live Channels and run a channel discovery. I did not load any sort of app or anything else to control the WinTV dongle.

I bought a WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB PC SSD and a SilverStone M.2 SATA SSD to USB Enclosure to record OTA live tv. I put it together, plugged it in, adopted the storage, then I was able to record and time shift live TV.

u/jam2xavier · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Better yet, search for G20 remote. I love mine.

I use this one. It's cheap, backlit, and it works with my Shield TV, Cable Box, and my TV. It's not bluetooth but it controls everything on my Shield TV perfectly:

It feels cheap and makes a high pitch noise up close, but it works great. Just got 2 new ones last month

u/omartian · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Solved!

Just bought this and works like a charm. By splitting the signal, i now have 4k @ 60hz on TV and get lossless audio on receiver. Now I can hold off on a receiver.

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

This is a good price. Get this one.

u/CuvisTheConqueror · 2 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Here is the receiver you will need to use: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Receiver-Windows/dp/B000HZFCT2/

Be careful when buying, because there are a lot of counterfeit receivers floating around, and while these will work fine on Windows if you force the driver install, they will not work at all on Android. If it says Microsoft on it, it's the genuine article; counterfeits will say Xbox 360 or have nothing at all written on them.

One receiver supports up to 4 controllers. When I tested the receiver on my Shield, everything on the controllers worked fine except the player indicator, which just kept flashing as if it was still trying to connect to the console. That was under Nougat, and I don't know if that's been patched with the Oreo upgrade. Either way, though, it's only cosmetic and won't impede play in any way.

u/lightinthedark · 3 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

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.

u/apocalypso036 · 2 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

You could consider getting an air mouse. I use the Rii MX6 Wireless Airmouse with my Shield TV. It works great in navigating Chrome on the Shield.

I have the 2017 version of the Shield and all the buttons work including the voice on this remote! My wife approves this remote!!

u/gen10 · -4 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Wireless works as well! Same with bluetooth remotes on video game controllers. You should also be able to use the android tv remote app on your phone once your connected to the internet.

Also here is some great remote options.

Alot of people also like the firestick remote.

u/Kasegauner · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Think about an alternative remote too. I've had the Shield for over two years and just got a Rii MX6 remote. For me it's the perfect Shield remote.

u/TheToolMan · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Yes, I do. It's this one. My Roku 3 powered it just fine.

u/ShortFuse · 10 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

I just got a G20 remote after being done AliTV based remotes. The AliTV ones have poor range and even being 10ft away, wouldn't register button presses. Also the voice search was weird, since the mic button wouldn't trigger the voice input pop-up.

The G20 remote works with voice input with Google Assistant as you'd expect, has volume control, and a sleep function. It also has media track controls. All of it works on my Shield TV. I don't know about battery life, but it takes regular AAA batteries. It's USB Wireless, not Bluetooth which may or may mean better battery life.

It's $16 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P322VRP

Edit: There's apparently a G20S remote now for cheaper that has IR learning, but I linked to the one I got.

u/Seanmrowe · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Thanks for the reply! I may very well go with that one, but I found one other while searching.

How can I tell if a remote connect through wifi direct or bluetooth?

u/ShawnDex · 3 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Ethernet cable GeForce Now works better if you are wired if possible. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHZZU4I

Internet GeForce NOW requires at least 15Mbps for 720p at 60fps and 25Mbps for 1080p at 60fps.

You’ll need to use a hardwired Ethernet connection or 5GHz wireless router.


NVIDIA SHIELD Controller you may want to get another one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7DQ0L6

u/MoreC33 · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

I always buy this one.

I would buy it straight from monoprice website but their return policy is terrible and I’m pretty sure you have to pay shipping.

u/Bradleyw801 · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Can you get your controllers to work natively on Android? For example, you should download badlands and see if it will recognize all 4. If you can solve your problem still in the Android OS, then I think it will solve itself while using gamestream.

Last I heard the PS4 controller needs root to work natively and the Xbox controller may need a dongle like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HZFCT2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Another option could be to connect the controllers to the PC (not the nvidia at all) and launch gamestream with the one nvidia controller. I know that I can use other peripherals that way. For example, if I launch gamestream from the nvidia and I am in steam big picture mode, if I move the mouse, it recognizes it. It might be the same for connected Xbox controllers.

u/Genghis1227 · 4 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Probably don't need to go third party. The 2015 remote will work with any shield device.

I don't know the read/writes. 99% sure It's just a 5400 RPM drive with USB 3.0. This is it: External HDD


Edit: So Kodi 4K/HDR works?

u/mjrengaw · 3 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

I have 2 Shields and on both I use Kingston 120gb SSD's in Sabrent USB 3.0 ultra slim aluminum enclosures. $30 total on Amazon and they come with everything you need including a short USB cable. Note that once you install the SSD in the enclosure you will need to connect it to a PC and format it prior to connecting to the Shield. They are very small.

If you've got a model with the IR sensor, I recommend the Inteset universal remote.

what you need is an HDMI audio extractor. I have this one and it works fine: https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Extractor-Splitter-Support-Toslink/dp/B0755TB82Q/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ViewHD+UHD&qid=1572960701&sr=8-2

HDMI out from the shield to the ViewHD box, from there HDMI out to my TV for 4K/HDR video and HDMI out to my H/K AVR for audio (DTS/DTS HD-MA/DD/DD+/TrueHD, whatever your AVR supports).

My only issue is that once a week or so, I have to unplug the ViewHD and plug it back in for my TV to recognize it.

u/traal · 4 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Or $50 renewed year round, which is what I bought. Highly recommended, it's one of those things you don't know you needed until you get one.

u/wtf-m8 · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Though any drive would work, Nvidia recommends this drive. At $28, it's also cheaper than the one you linked.

u/sherl0k · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

the 360 controllers don't use bluetooth, they use some other form of IR. The 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows you can plug in via USB and pair all your controllers with that. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/6v9z6y/xbox_360_wireless_controller_nvidia_shield/

So, the Pro version of 2017 Shield is launching on the 30th according to Amazon. I wonder if because of this someone started the rumor that all ShieldTV's would be updated on that date.

You should try with amazon.fr or amazon.co.uk if your are in DE.You will be able to easily return it in case it's the wrong remote.Shield remote (Amazon FR)

It doesnt go to sleep unlike the Nvidia remote, has dedicated play/pause/volume, even the voice search works.

There are many similar ones on Amazon, some are BT, some have a keyboard on the back, I don't think you can go wrong. Anything is better than the crappy default remote!

u/hgpot · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

I just use a regular universal IR remote. The Shield just has IR built in, no need for buggy Bluetooth or anything that could "disconnect". And it controls my TV and PS3 (for DVD/BluRay - had to buy a USB IR receiver for that) all in one remote.

u/Vallywog · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

I use this one with my Shield no issues.

u/Imlulse · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

Is it me or did the Amazon listing just disappear? I had it open (was reading reviews), refreshed it, and now it's giving me an error... It's also saying out of stock on NV's site, weird.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YP9FBMM

Edit: The link is definitely dead and showing Amazon's oops error with the doggies, also out of stock at B&H. Had it been going in and out of stock and I just happened to catch it in stock earlier? (first time I even went looking for it) Still seems weird the Amazon page would disappear...
