2019 NVIDIA SHIELD TV / TV Pro Top 5 Things To Do When You Get It (Tips And Tricks) Android TV 

What about live sports streams? Does it also work with that?

@@kacpers186 it does. I used it with Fubo TV but on my 65" C2 OLED the upscaling didn't look very good so I turned it on the lower setting of the upscaling. There's multiple upscaling settings to choose from thankfully

I definitely agree. The upscaling is awesome.

Glad you found it helpful

I am looking to trade an android nvidia sheild is anyone interested

just found out about it, and i'm mad i didn't know about it sooner!

I wish they'd make it look better. I feel like I'm using an old Windows 98 program. Works great though.

Question, Did it Charge yall?

Bit late here. But how did you improve the bluetooth if you remember? Cause using it now, the bluetooth is the biggest issue

Id like to second that! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Yea for sure the best streamer hands down

Today I got one but I will return it. The Shield refuses to support 2k, and has a big problem playing files from USB. The machine really dissapointed me after all the high rates. Besides, the image quality is nothing special, even below a 50$ video pc card.

@@BertKrus why would you return it

@@RoseQuartz692 it does not support 2K resolution and playing video files did not go well

@@BertKrus 2019 Pro support 4K

Still the best 3 years later. Get updates and is as fast as day one

What do you recommend

I use mine as a Plex server and originally had a 2TB drive attached for my content. On the advice of a friend I put all my content on my NAS and mapped Plex on my shield there so I still get the power of the Shield to use with my cheap NAS. I also swapped out the 2TB drive for a 256GB SSD. The performance change on my Shield was very noticeable.

SSD speeds are great as long as you keep content on it, as overwrites are limited. Writing to a cell must be deleted before it can be rewritten, eventually the cell dies and cannot be used. While the reduced amount of times cells of SSD can be deleted and written to again may be ok for some but not for others. Both are separate types of device, both are useful in their own right. One does not replace the other, they are separate entities As a storage device when files will be deleted and the space used again SATA drives are the better option. SSD’s are brilliantly fast but lack the versatility of a SATA drive. Basic example being that if you were to defragment an SSD drive regularly as you would a SATA the SSD wouldn’t last very long at all Aware of the differences people can choose which drive suits them best in particular applications or specific uses. Not a case of a simple upgrade or either/or. The newer device is not intended to replace the older one . Both devices are very different technologically and specific uses. Just a bit of useful info to anybody not aware of this as it is easy to make the mistake of thinking SSD replaces SATA. It doesn’t for most users

That’s really simple. Just install plex client, log on with your account and you just use it as client. It runs really smooth as server, so it won’t run any lesser as a client.

Wrong...the shield is far better as a server....the NAS is then just the storage device...plex is far quicker to use when it is run from the shield...NAS Plex servers really aren't that good.

@@halcyondaystunes better in what way ? if you have a decent nas it can run Plex smooth without any shutter. So what could be better if it is running perfect already ? why keep 2 devices running,shield and nas, when only nas running works good enough ?

@@halcyondaystunes Shield TV isn't much more powerful as a server either. I use a custom build PC with an 8c/16t CPU for the server. Nothing beats the Shield TV Pro as a client though. The AI upscaling is easily the best I've ever seen.

Does anyone know?

Can u install and use kodi on this device?

@@dasolja7888 Yes

Thank you 👍

Yes mine got so hot it burned my finger tips. Now I have a ssd

Yea get the pro and just get the remote. new one isn't worth upgrading for..

That's a strange place to put it.

Exactly i leaned the hard way and it cost me over 150.00 dollars, One of the drives is the Exact Sandisk hes using, The other was a Corsair 256 flash drive ssd which cost me 90.00 dollars, Both had major lag until i finally purchasing the right one which was the Sandisk 3.1 Extreme pro flash ssd work like a charm.

DO NOT USE USB THUMB STICKS for external storage. This reviewer is giving bad advice. I used a 128 GB Samsung 3.1 USB that overheated. USB thumbsticks were not meant to be R/W constantly. This well documented on Nvidia forums. If you want an external drive, use a USB SSD Flash drive.

@@Inspiron41 I agree

I use a Samsung 860 evo 500gb ssd with a sata to usb cable as internal storage, never had an issue.

🤣 Also learned this the hard way. Went through 3. Thankfully they were just ones I had laying around.

side load emulator APK maybe

Yes load via sd card

Do you own a TV PRO or you're assuming because I have one and I know you're not being truthful about part of your post.
