Great Android Box Once Tweaked
Clearly this is a well regarded device, and that is why I finally got one to replace a laggy, ad filled G1 Firestick 4k.The hardware is super capable; I am very familiar with customizing Android devices, but this was my first experience with the “Android TV” flavor of the OS. It is a good thing with a set top box, as you need a couch friendly interface. The bad is that despite this being a premium device, you STILL have LOADS of prominent ads that are streamed in just like you will see on a Firestick. They are always at the top of the interface and clutter the menu and make it look terrible.What I wanted from this device:-Absolutely no ads/outside content being displayed – clean interface.-4K support.-Couch-friendly Plex and Jellyfin client with responsive interface and stability.-Client device able to locally stream PC games/software without lag.-Allow the use of multiple simultaneous Bluetooth controllers for aforementioned living room gaming capability.Here are mods I made to make this thing exactly what I was hoping for:1-Replace the stock launcher with Projectivity Launcher from the Google Play store. It gives you a fully customizable, fast, and AD FREE browsing experience. It is incomparably better than the stock Android TV frontend. Setup is easy and customization is intuitive.2-Installed Artemis (download from the dev’s GitHub) from a USB stick. This lets you stream from a host PC running the Apollo server software, and it works phenomenally on a wired Gigiabit LAN. This software can launch Steam Big Picture so it can also replace the need for the Steam Link app.3-Connect up multiple 8bitdo Bluetooth controllers. The built-in BT on the shield is good, and can support 4 controllers (allegedly up to 6). With this in conjunction with item #2, you can game in any room like your PC is right there. You can also just use your PC desktop as normal, or any other software; Apollo/Artemis is super flexible.4-Replace the stock Shield remote with a Sofabaton U1 model. These universal remotes are great, very affordable, and support both IR and Bluetooth devices. The shield remote is just a BT input device, so you can easily replace it and have one remote for everything in your setup. You do lose voice search, but I am fine with that.5-Customize the Projectivity frontend to hide all menu items that are not daily use apps/settings; with the result being a simple, uncluttered interface that is right to the point.With those changes, this is a fantastic streaming box.

Amazing and quick to ship internationally seller! Product itself is great. I was unlucky to end up with an LG tv with webOS operation system which limits a lot interaction with the tv, and this awesome nvidia gadget with android solves all my issues! Very fast in playing Dolbivision hdr videos

Awesome device. Worth every penny.😊

Es lo máximo en Calidad de Audio y Vídeo.Tuve Google Chromecast, Fire TV stick 4k y las reseñas y comentarios sobre que este ES el mejor Reproductor de Streaming en Verstilidad, Funcionalidad y Calidad son Ciertas!Increíble el escalamiento por IA a 4K, lo complemente para un Proyector escalable a 4K junto con un Onkyo HT-S3910 y la combinación es Increíble, Audio y Vídeo impecables con las configuraciones adecuadas (necesitas ver turoriales para sacarles provecho y maximizar su rendimiento)..por lo menos yo lo hice así y encontré mejoras Increíbles!Además… puedes jugar en línea con Nvidia GE Forcé y agregar un control inalámbrico para X-BOX en mi caso…! (No soy tan gamer, pero representa otra gran ventaja, si no quieres adquirir una consola)Haré una actualización en unos meses que pruebe juegos y más de su desempeño.
