A lot of it depends on what they are used for. If you game a lot then the sheild is for you. If you want a box for side loading and iptv than the shield isn’t what you need. Maybe something like this box or the Formuler box is a good alternative. Youre budget and wifi will also determine what you can afford and do as well

@cubahdez 5 месяцев назад

LI the box is great I run into a situation I was wondering if you have the same problem I have I can’ t turn the TV off at the same time with the same remote

@CordCuttersLI 5 месяцев назад

This could be for one of a couple of different reasons, depending on the options you chose when setting it up, and also the settings on your TV. The G1 gets turned on & off via BlueTooth, whereas the TV normally gets turned on & off via Infrared, which means, if you selected your brand of TV when setting this up, you may not be pointing the remote at the TV's infrared received well enough to turn it on or off. If you chose NOT to configure your TV when setting up this box, it will try to use the built-in 'HDMI-CEC" feature to shut to turn your TV on & off via the remote talking to the box via Bluetooth (not infrared) through the HDMI cable. BUT - for that to work you might need to enable HDMI-CEC on your TV. Google it, as the setting is different for each model TV. If that doesn't help, send me an email with details of what's happening and I'll try to help. info@cordcuttersli.com

@innuendo70 Месяц назад

Looks like a great device. Does it have an option for using it with a 1440p screen? And if it does, are there anywere near to the shield's AI downscale features for doing so? The Shield-TV does with a bit of fiddling with HDMI settingsd in dev mode, and it's a main feature I think any shield killer will need to address. Would be cool if you could do a 1440p shield vs KinHank video.

Great video, well done. Looks a super box but I keep seeing something about it not being able to auto detect the ? decoders or mode ?, not sure exactly. My problem is that if the wife uses it with no one else around as she is not tech savvy and it gets stuck in one mode she'll not be able to correct it, and that looks like the deal breaker here. Great if you are a bit of techie, but for the normal user it could mean they are gonna need to chase around to get it running occasionally as I understand it is a random happening. Maybe this is not fully the case, but read/seen about this a few times now, otherwise super box. As you have not mentioned anything about this may I got it wrong, or the other vids/reviews have ???. Also, just one other thought, it used to be said that almost ALL china Android TV boxes contained 'some' sort of virus/malware, has this one been tested for this ????

Well, honestly I'm on the fence regarding that. Given that this one supports Wi-Fi 6, I think it makes up for that to some degree. Plus, we all know that 100Meg is PLENTY to stream all 4k Content. the VAST majority of people these days don't have faster than 100Mb Internet anyway, (nor do they have a NAS or Plex Server at their house to take advantage of 1Gb ethernet. Not to mention, different people will determine the "killer" status based on different things; $$$ being one of the main ones.

@CordCuttersLI 5 месяцев назад

These boxes are very close for me. When I released my km2 plus deluxe video, I said I hadn't been more impressed with another AndroidTV box since I got my nVidia shield. Now that I've seen and tested this box, I basically said the same thing, meaning this one impressed me even a little bit more. For two examples, The MeCool didn't do quite as well changing from channel to channel with IPTV or when jumping forwards and backwards while streaming a 4K movie from USB 2.0. The Spec's are virtually identical, but this one is $30-40 cheaper, depending on the deal you get. PLUS, you have to pay for shipping on the MeCool and wait much longer to get it, while this one is in stock on Amazon and you can have it in two days with Amazon Prime.

As I've said in other replies. The the term 'Shield Killer" is relative. For the average user, they'll never spend $250 on a device they want to watch Netflix on. Different strokes for different folks. I am a member of team nVidia Shield myself, which is why I put that big Question Mark next to the term. I wasn't making a statement. I was asking a question. I have your answer. Other folks in these comments have a different one. All are welcome and appreciated. 😎

@CordCuttersLI 5 месяцев назад

Agreed on the USB 3.0 thought. However, did you see the part of the video when I quickly jumped back and forth in the 4K video without even a hint of buffering or hiccups? For most streaming needs, USB 3 just isn't needed. (I will say that it's faster to copy from a PC to the USB drive though). Yes, although the LAN port is only 10/100 Mb/s, a) that's plenty fast enough for ALL current streaming content, b) this box comes with Wifi-6 which is rare among these boxes. Even the almighty nVidia Shield doesn't support Wifi-6

@StevenShultz-qd1sl 3 месяца назад

With 10/100 Ethernet, the trade off is to use WiFi 6 but WiFi 6E would be even better. Netflix requires 25 M so only one of these is ok. GigE is better and not that expensive. Especially if your local LAN is all GigE to communicate with local servers. It makes a huge difference. The USB 2.0 is so disappointing in 2024. Although you don’t need it for wired keyboards and Mice, you need it for expanding memory with C-type USB flash and even USB 3.2 flash drives are now economical. What bothers me is there is mostly likely no more Android updates to this box. It will never get upgraded to the next version of Android. But more importantly is support for HDR, HDR 10, HDR 10+… And so on. HDMI 2.1 would be nice to have along with 4K@120mhz. I would put my money on NVIDA shield keeping up instead of an Android TV box that is going out of date in a few years. It’s certainly better that a Google Chromecast with TV or Firestick Lite. The memory for those devices is a joke. You are left with only a few Gigabytes for your apps. 32G of internal is adequate. Even though you can expand memory on the Google, it doesn’t run as well as having more internal memory. Just look at the Android phone, finally upgrading RAM on the lower end phones and at least 32G internal flash. Higher end phones have even more RAM and internal Flash. Android TV will need to adapt to this in the future.

@CordCuttersLI 3 месяца назад

Wow, thank you for that lengthy review/comment. I'd agree with most of it. The one thing you didn't mention is an alternative in the same price range with same or similar spec's. And as for Updates.. It's too soon to tell. Granted, some Android Box companies are horrible with update (ie. MeCool), whereas others (ie. Homatics) are great! Time will tell with KinHank. Thanks again!

How can you call this a Shield killer when you haven't tested or talked about any of the things that actually make a Shield what it is? HD audio bitstreaming, Dolby Atmos, support for all codecs. all you show is the usual streaming apps. Which I can get in plenty of other devices like the Google chromecast, Roku etc. What exactly makes this device better other than the higher speed/memory which is going to be unused in most cases?

@CordCuttersLI 5 месяцев назад

You missed the "?" in the Thumbnail. It was a question... For people who need and use all the Spec's you mentioned for the Shield, your answer would be no. For people who just use these streaming apps that I showed, AND can't afford more $$, their answer would be Yes. It's all relative. PS. I love my shields, too.

@ExtraCrispy 5 месяцев назад

@@CordCuttersLI but for a lower price point you can get the Fire Cube 2 (which can be had for $50 and is as fast as the Shield) or the new Cube 3 (on sale now for $115) which is much more capable. The FireStick4K Max is probably 90-99% as fast and much cheaper. I appreciate you highlighting the speed, but the real reason to buy this is so you can run CoreElec which makes it FAR more capable and actually competitive with the Shield. 90% of people who buy the Shield are wasting their money if they don't use HD audio with an AVR. You mention in the video that this box is faster than a FireStick, which version and year do you mean? I honestly don't see a reason to buy a streaming box for $100 when there are so many cheaper options.
