An excellent Android TV streaming box, works great
We recently switched from cable internet+tv to fiber internet, and it felt like the right time to jump to streaming TV since our fiber ISP has no usage caps like cable plans. I had been holding out for the new Google Sabrina device but eventually we got tired of waiting and sprung for the Nvidia Shield TV tube.We decided to go with YouTube TV for now, and so Android TV was a natural choice, which made the Shield a really attractive box. After using it for a few weeks, I’m very impressed. The video quality is excellent and it was trivial to setup. It also switches between apps MUCH more quickly and fluidly than what you might be used to with the built-in apps on a “smart TV”, or even the apps on a faster box like a PS4.YouTube TV is fantastic and feels just like regular cable TV, but like jumping ahead 2 or 3 decades in user interface. HBO Max works perfectly, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime, all the apps we use on a regular basis just work. (Actually we occasionally notice movie previews are black on Hulu, but it’s just previews and just Hulu, so I can’t blame the Shield for that.)The remote is surprisingly easy to use, and the cursor wheel makes forward/reverse efficient because most apps show a small preview above the current spot in the timeline. This means you’ll be able to skip commercials or credits in shows way more surgically and faster than a typical DVR.My one complaint about the remote is the Netflix button, which I occasionally hit by accident. I use Netflix all the time but never use the dedicated button, so the only time I press it is when I am just picking up the remote to adjust the volume or do something else. If you just wanted to adjust the volume and end up launching a different app, it’s an annoying mistake that takes 10-15 seconds to undo, so I just wish we could disable or remap that one button. There are apps which allow just that, but you run the risk of having an app that can read all your keystrokes, and in this case it seems like the risk outweighs the reward. Fortunately over time I’ve learned to avoid pressing it as often, but it is just a tad bit annoying to have to be so careful when picking up the remote.The box gets regular firmware updates and has seemed incredibly reliable so far. The tube itself is mildly warm but never gets hot to the touch, but then again I’m not playing games on it.Overall a fantastic box.

Solid and robust
I have had two of the regular shield TV and one of the pro units. The regular ones are my bedroom and family room. The pro is in my theater room. It’s hooked directly to my Nakamichi Dragon sound system. Which is hooked up to a 98″ lg tv. The pro is networked to the other two shields and two ONN 4k pro streaming systems. I find that a lot of people are knocking the shield for adds. What adds? None of my systems have adds. One person was saying that their thumb drive lagged their system. If you were going to add a large thumb drive to the regular system it would. It really doesn’t like anything over 256gb. Get the pro to do that. I have a 256gb memory and a 22tb media drive hooked up to the pro unit. It handles it with no issues. I use Plex server to access the 22tb drive from different units in the house or when I’m out. Everyone may complain about it being an old system. But I have yet to see anything out perform it to date period. Plus for ease of use it can’t be beaten. I can add what ever app I want on it with no issues what’s so ever. And with the AI up scaling, especially on the larger tv with mini LEDs. It looks like you can just step into the screen. The picture is that good. You want a great picture without spending over 50.00. Buy the ONN. You want the best and not worry about cost buy the shield pro. It is the most flexible system you will find.

Excellent, high end streaming experience. Not much bad to say…
This review is based on the new Shield TV (2019) product (the one that’s tube shaped), NOT its slightly more expensive cousin.Just to give some background, this is the first “high end” streaming device I’ve purchased. I’ve always been in the $30-50 range with Roku and Fire devices. So maybe someone with experience using an Apple TV or other top tier product would have a different point of view. But if you’re coming from those lower tier devices, this is a HUGE upgrade. I suspect it might be an upgrade even if you’re coming from a more expensive device. Reasons I love this unit:*SNAPPY performance. I’m used to there being a certain amount of lag inherent in streaming with apps like YouTube TV or even Pluto TV. You know, that sometimes long delay between hitting play and the video starting, or the similar delay when moving from the “Live TV” portion of the app to the recordings… etc etc. With the Shield, there’s almost no lag, ever. Everything just works how you want, quickly.*Fantastic Remote! I’m used to the remote being a compromise on streaming devices, something that you have to ‘live with’…. but not here. This one is ergonomically designed, back-lit (automatically lights when you pick it up), and it controls your TV and soundbar. This is one area I’m confident to say that this device beats even the Apple TV. I do not think there’s any streaming device out there right now at any price point with a remote that compares with this one.*Gaming features. I’ve barely tapped into this, and I may update this review after further testing. But you can pair your Xbox One OR Playstation 4 controller (or a host of other controllers), and take advantage of games using Nvidia’s streaming platform. This includes both free games included with their ‘GeForce Now’ service, or you can even stream games from your PC. Cool addition that isn’t rivaled anywhere else as far as I can tell.*Android TV interface. I unexpectedly love Android TV. It is smooth, easy to navigate, and has everything you need. I haven’t found any major apps I need that are unavailable. I really haven’t found anything I don’t like about the interface at all. It is superior to Roku and Fire TV, in my personal opinion.*Built in Chromecast. This is extremely handy, and so far works very well. We had previously owned an old first gen Chromecast, and the one included in this device works miles better.*Google Assistant. We are an Alexa household, and I believe that some form of Alexa support is built into this device… but we’re perfectly content using the Google Assistant built in. If I hit the voice control button and tell it to go to AMC, it automagically knows that I mean the AMC channel on YouTube TV, and we’re off. If there’s something more ambiguous that might be on multiple platforms, you can specify. Example: “Play Walking Dead on Netflix”…. Boom, it starts playing. Excellent.I can’t speak on the 4k up scaling, as we are still using an HD set that isn’t 4k capable (gasp!). But I think we might be ordering a 4k set soon enough, and will update as needed.This device has exceeded my expectations by a mile, and this will absolutely be my streaming platform of choice going forward until further notice.
