The Shield TV has been out for a few years now, and was always considered one of the Android TV boxes out there. But is the Shield still worth it in 2018?

Why does it take so long for Nvidia to replace the non responsive remotes? Paying g internet with no shield TV is pointless.
good console
Hi, How many different shields are there? and what's the difference besides getting the extra controller.? thanks
We just cut the cord because we were paying up to $300.00 a month for cable with all of the channels and the internet and phone.What i didn't see in your set up is the ability to watch local channels also. this is important to me to have all of the functionality that yours does minus the games and still be able to get local television stations for news and such. is this capabe? just curious. looking to make a purchase in the next few days
it really shouldn't have TV in the name if you can't watch live TV on it.
You can always put your headphones in your TV
very good video! looking to get one…does it run pie?
Can you play keyboard and mouse on this? And also what if you only have a 2.4ghz wifi router but you connect it to the Nvidia shield with the lan cable?
Can we use this with a VPN?
yes i whant one but still looking and wondering ,whant to cut the cable and still see the listing i look at ,and tring to get the best price for it
Headphone jack is on the controller
How is te picture quality on a youtube app and what about the sound does it support dolby atmos ? I just bought a apple tv 4k in it sucks
Have had mine for 2 years with expanded USB 3.0 256 GB storage. I have a Fire TV that just collects dust. Just keep putting out updates, this thing is the best
Is it still worth it to buy this now?
Guys do you know if the device comes rooted when you buy it and if so can be unrooted ?
You need a new microphone.
Is it portable. Or handheld like nintendo switch ?
Or it's like tv console?
Thanks
Better than the ouya
Why do people slag the firestick off .i have no problems with mine .i mean what do u want.????
Can you just basically just download fortnite on this without any pc?
What monitor is being used here? I see that it’s benq but anyone have. A model number?
Love my shield. Was thinking about getting a Apple TV since I have a lot of Apple devices butttt it’s not worth it.
too late no buy buy it now.
Too expensive. Fire TV Stick is only $50.
SPEAK LOUDER!!!
Why not use kodi to play your 4k movies. My Shield does that flawlessly. ES file explorer is just an insane work around.
I don’t game so what box has similar power as the Shield but built specifically for streaming?
Can you remove the convoluted menu and just have an option to load directly into a streaming service?
Headphones outlet is on the controller and remote…
Shield TV still kicks ass going into 2019. I also have the Pro model. I bought it pretty much on a whim in 2016 and have been astounded by how useful it is and how much I utilize it. Everything from watching movies, listening to podcasts, playing emulators, and streaming AAA titles either from my gaming PC or from Nvidia's GeForce Now service.
Especially the 500GB Pro model, it acts as a NAS if you don't already have one.
If you have a NAS, you can keep all you movies and emulation library on it and access it flawlessly with the Shield. I have a 2TB NAS plugged into my router and the Shield sees it as easily as if it was built in storage.
I truly cannot recommend the Shield enough.
