They are not even comparable as the Fire can't do what the shield was designed for which is cloud gaming. Due to the OS the Fire can't even run Cloud gaming apps. If you only want to stream movies or music the Shield is a complete overkill and no one should pay 100+ bucks on it just to do that.

Do NOT buy Amazon Firetv or cube! What's the use of getting a cheaper device (which it is better) but Amazon disabled USB Debugging & are discontinuing 3rd party apps & moving towards an HORRIBLE locked down system like Apple. You're wasting your money but most people are dumb & will stick with Amazon. I dropped them like a hot potatoe & if more people do what I did you'll see Amazon hurt like DTV did. Also Amazon did not care that Wyze cameras no longer worked with Alexa & Wyze never gave any help. So I guess Wyze knew. Stick with an Android box. Now I get to view my cams again no thanks to Amazon.

@stupidhandles Месяц назад

@@UpgradeGuyTechthat is not what your video says, you're literally advising fire devices over the shield, the very reason I found this video is because of how hacked iff with fire TV I am, and looking for something that will actually work and not crash and promote and Amazons crap content. Your only criticisms are you THINK they might launch a new device (ironic that you promote Amazon who have released multiple fire devices, why doesn't that render the previous obsolete? And Amazon have a proven track record in needless fire devices upgrades to sell more devices, yet your promoting a company that is a worse offender for one of your main criticisms of the shield, utter hypocrisy. Your second criticism is they haven't issued software updates for nearly 2years......have you considered that it doesn't need them, if it works well "if it ain't broke don't fix it" What a pathetic criticism. lack of updates is a positive not a negative. The fact you think lack of updates is a good thing is concerning for what modern tech has done to people's perceptions. A good device should never need updates, it should work properly from day one, the more updates a device needs means the worse it was when released, continued updates indicate the company can't even correct what should have works at launch properly. Youre meant to indicate sponsored content, and that's the only logical conclusion (without using ad hominems) for your "opinion" is that Amazon are paying you. Anyway thanks to the comments on this video. I shall now go and purchase a shield and take great delight in smashing the heck out my fire TV device

@macinman Месяц назад

I bought a Shield Pro back in 2022 (the 2019 model) because it's still the only device that does full audio passthrough for Plex and other local streaming solutions that is reasonably priced and dependable. It also is good for running a Plex server, but for me, I just use it as a Plex client when I want to watch movies and TV I've put on Plex the same way I would when playing them from the disc. So for these functions, the newest hardware isn't required unless they start introducing new standards. With this said though, I've considered giving up Plex and simply going back to my physical media for quality better than streaming, just because things just work with physical media in terms of compatibility. Either way, The shield for me, has been a solid solution for local streaming content in formats most other devices don't fully support.

So im currently looking to buy a steaming box, thats how I landed on this video, cause I was looking at the Sheild Tv, cause i sorted by price and it was the most expensive , however i already knew how old the hardware was, and ok I could live with that since it still performs pretty well and im not into gaming on android ( got an xbox and pc for that ) but I live in Iceland so add another 100$ on that price so the Pro version is 300$ here, but that's just living here so ok I could accept that .. However what killed the idea for me was the lack of updates.. There is just no way i would spend that money on a device not getting any more updates.. I think this was a good video , i was not aware of the software situation so now im gonna subscribe and look at your other videos about tv boxes and see if I like any of them ... If i could get decent hardware, let's say a gutted S24 Ultra in one of these boxes, with a Dex like mode .. that would be awesome ! :) Or even a powerfull box running ChromeOS

@stupidhandles Месяц назад

I am still using my 2015 Shield TV and all I see is suggestions of programs from the streaming apps I have installed and asked the system to give suggestions. And those suggestions are shown on the top part of the home screen. This is not an Nvidia thing. It's part of Android TV. I am thinking of buying the 2019 Version for the AI Upscaling but I am afraid there will be a new release soon. Go ahead, buy it. You wont need to buy any other android streaming device!

Still using my 2015 shield ( got from gamestop for $150 at the time ). Great purchase. Still going strong. I also got a $20 walmart onn 4tv last month, that i also like. Honestly if you just want to watch videos and stream , i think the onn tv is a great buy. But if you are into gaming , casual or even high end steam games shield is amazing. Plus its geforce now service is like none other. I seriously wonder if amazon paid you to advertise firetv. Firetv is not even a competition to shield. Shield is at a different level. you start advertising shield by comparing cpu benchmarks. Even a non tech user would know a tv box is supposed to play videos and depends almost 100% on its graphics processing power. The nvidia tegra processor on my 2015 shield is still more powerful than any firetv in 2024. Nvidia is the envy of every company for a reason. As far your cry about shield releasing android late , its similar to apple releasing features way after android does. A newest / flasiest android is not what anyone using android tv box needs. They need a stable experience. Yes the recent release of shield was a disaster , but they promptly fixed it with another release 15 days later - something you forgot to mention. I think your entire video was about promoting firetv sales - and had nothing to do with shield. And if "value-for-money" is someones concern - They wouldn't get a shield. There are plenty of cheap tv sticks/boxes. I got the onn tv box for another room which I love.

It disappoints me to say that I am returning the Nvidia Shield TV Pro which I just purchased. I really wanted to like this over and above my Roku 4K stick but that is sadly just not the case for me. I will state for the record that I am not a gamer so none of those features weigh in as a factor for me. I also most certainly am not trying to demean the Nvidia enthusiasts but just offering my honest opinion. First the Pros: 1) I primarily purchased because I wanted the stability and speed of the 1Gb ethernet port which I will say works very well overall and the speed difference is certainly very noticeable. 2) User interface is very intuitive and smooth Cons: 1) I have to agree with this review. I see very little difference with the AI Upscaling vs not using it. 2) The audio quality of the Nvidia is significantly subpar vs that of the Roku 4K stick. 3) Randomly I would not be able to access some apps. I had to uninstall and reinstall a few apps several times in order for them to open. Like I said....I tried it and I really wanted to like and keep it......I just cannot justify doing so at the $200 price tag. I know many people feel the Roku devices have a stale look and interface but you know what they do have to offer? They simply perform as expected. IF/When the next gen Roku Ultra comes with a 1Gb ethernet port I will be all over that one.

I appreciate hearing the honest recap. I don't see a lot of people in the comments here comparing to 2022 Apple TV 4K, and I'm trying to compare the two. I currently use Roku Ultra and it's totally fine for most things but having ads really turns me off, and it doesn't give you a lot of options or control or feedback over audio/visual status to diagnose what's available vs. what your devices are requesting/displaying. Also a few random crashes and quirks that may be unique to my unit or setup.

@joeg.5669 2 месяца назад

@@clavicus It isn't just you. My Roku streaming stick also has random crashes forcing me to disconnect and reconnect. I think I am going to give the Apple TV 4K a try as well and see how that one performs. One thing I will say is that Apple support is generally very responsive so hopefully they can guide me through any setup hiccups. Good Luck to you.

@@joeg.5669 just got my Apple TV 4k (3rd gen with Ethernet version) used for $100 from local Facebook marketplace. I have to say it’s exactly what I wanted. Extremely responsive, great small remote, some Apple integrations I didn’t realize, that I think will be handy. I like that the apps seem to keep their “state” unlike my Roku Ultra that seems to clear apps back to square one if you want to switch between them. looks like it’s a keeper. I may buy another for the living room. I can see how the Shield would be preferable for a tinkerer type of person though. I think I may be getting older and narrowing the scope of things I want to spend time customizing. That said, i spent a couple hours tinkering with every setting I could find. The menus are pretty sensible.

I have both the 2017 Shield TV and the Fire TV Cube 3rd gen. Overall, the Shield TV is still superior, but it's time for Nvidia to release a new one. Due to the Android updates, it definitely has lost performance. When it comes to just using streaming apps right now for me, the Fire TV Cube is better. However, for pro users, I don't recommend the Fire TV Cube, especially since it doesn't have USB 3.0, only 2.0. Everyone knows there's really no streaming device today that comes close to the capabilities of the Shield TV. With that being said, that doesn't mean we don't need a new Shield TV. We need one with updated hardware as it's the same hardware from almost a decade ago.

@rogerk.9124 2 месяца назад

I am still using the 2015 version and I can honestly say this is by far the best $189 purchase I have ever made. I was waiting to see if shield is going to come out with a new version but I am going to go ahead and buy the 2019 version. I am thinking Nvidia will not release a new version because there are tons of cheaper streaming devices that get the job done for most people's needs, which is simple streaming. The Shield enthusiasts may not be in a big enough number for Nvidia to generate any profit from releasing a new device. So I am going to get the 2019 version before it disappears.

People like to buy cheap stuff, and they end up spending more money than buying the real deal (Nvidia Shield TV). I have my ShieldTV since 2015 and there is still no competition, anyone can put better hardware in a box and sell it for cheaper, but you will never match the software experience & software support for 10 years.
