Bro, thanks for sharing and based on the above certified boxes, only Nvidia and Mibox S can be considered. I have check on Amazon and they have latest offer whereby only USD139.99 for the Shield with remote which looks tempting. However still quite divided as was thinking to upgrade my current 3 years old LED TV to Sharp LC60UA6800X or just grab the high-end Android box.

From your personal point of view, which would you opt to if you are being given above choices?
*
what is ur current TV model? is it 4K?
>> if u already have 4K TV and satisfied with the PQ = get budget certified TV box: mibox s
>> for normal streaming = built-in Android TV
>> for advance usage like media server, smart features, gaming = Shield TV

Just sharing some info on NSTV issues for current/future users..

Current issues on NSTV:-
1. 720p/1080p upscaling to 4K output is bad.
Solution: let the TV do the upscaling by setting the video output to 1080p on Shield setting

2. HDR colorspace issue.
Solution: Manually set colorspace on Shield setting before playing the movie.

3. Auto resolution and frame rate switch only available on app level and not on OS level which need app developers to add the api/feature to their app. Solution: Manually switch the setting or use apps like kodi, plex, vlc..

4. File transfer protocol still using SMB v1.
Status: Nvidia is working on SMB v3. Hope will update in next OS release.

5. Third party bluetooth remote need to re-pair after each restart/power off. Status: This happen due to NSTV bluetooth security feature which in next OS update will have option to disable the security feature so user don't need to re-pair again after restart/power off

6. HDMI CEC not functioning properly due to some bugs.
Status: Next OS update may fixed the problem.

7. No HDR on Youtube app due to current OS does not support VP9 Profile 2 codec.
Status: Hope in ATV Pie will support this codec.

8. There is some bluetooth signal interference due to USB 3.0 port if u are using 3rd party wireless device with usb dongle such as remote, mouse & etc..
Two solutions:
>> there is backward compatible option under setting.
>> connect the usb dongles to usb 3.0 hub adapter/extension so it will have some distance between the NSTV USB port and usb dongles.


9. Weak NSTV Bluetooth signal even when the distance is less than 6 ft.
Solution: Hardware fix by adding antenna to increase the signal. Need to solder it to PCB board.
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/10...h-battery-etc-/

For issue 1-3: According to nvidia support, there are some fixes and implementation need to be done by Google at OS level before nvidia can futher improve it..

I’ve just notice the Shield doesn’t have audio output. Can I connect the Shield to a speaker via Bluetooth, or there’s a way to connect it to speaker with USB or something?

Cos I’m thinking on bypassing the TV speaker since is quite crappy. And also would like to listen to music through the Shield without turning on the TV.

Any sifu can share how to do this?
*
maybe can try USB audio adapter connect to shield or hdmi video/audio splitter with hdcp 2.2 support..

nice..even got enclosure with raid configured..awesome..my m.2 are all B+M key can fit all slots.. this enclosure just what I need.
thank you sir.. notworthy.gif

You're welcome..
Personally i'll not recommend using this setup as adoptable storage coz incase one of the ssd malfunction and to replace it, u'll need to format both ssd as adoptable storage again.

Stupid Shield upgrade Kodi 18 and ruin my beautiful fuse neue setup.

Since fuse neue only compatible to Kodi17.6, shield will automatically upgrade back to Kodi 18 even after you delete kodi and install the old kodi. mad.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Did u try tweaking the fuse skin's Addon.xml and DialogAddonSettings.xml files to make it compatible with Leia?

U can try this edited version >> https://gofile.io/?c=EAwCag

QUOTE
if you have any better skin for kodi 18 please suggest, but make sure it can display atmos and DTS-x

TQ

Alternative u can try Aura skin.

p/s: those skin that shows dolby atmos and dts-x flags are based on the media filename.

Guys, if buy directly from amazon does the power adapter comes with all country prongs or just US?

Already tried googling unboxing videos and articles but none of them talks about the power adapter prongs. Only saw one video showing UK & EU prongs supplied with the power adapter.

Amazon US = 2 pin flat US plug
Amazon UK = 3 pin UK plug

I successfully installed fuse neue Leia you provided on the shield, it works great but the Atmos & DTS-X flag still not appearing. When i checked the zip file, Atmos & DTS-X icons already been provided in the package:-
When Jurialmunkey created fuse skin, he maybe assume that kodi will auto detect the audio codec which later was informed by Kodi dev that there is some ffmpeg limitations..
>> https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=30...3718#pid2613718

QUOTE
What are the files related to display these icon flags? maybe i can mod them. Jurialmunkey did implement DTSX and Atmos in his other skin like aura but not for fuse neue even though the icons are provided in fuse neue 17.6 package
*
For Aura skin, he added the flags after convinced by gsantosoliver..
>> https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.aura/issues/12

Here is the edited skin with Atmos, DTS-X and HDR flags:-

Latest SHIELD TV 16GB now comes with additional Bluetooth module which the older unit don't have.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Based on the pics, there is mount point for extra module on the 2017 model meaning that NViDiA had plan to add the BLE module at 1st but for unknown reason they didn't add it.
It's known issue that Shield TV have problem with Bluetooth signal coz by USB 3.0, maybe by adding additional BLE module may help to improve the signal.

It died... after using for 1-2 years.

I am using an Ipego remote and paired with bluetooth. But somehow it doesn't 'wake' the shield up like its remote. Any idea?

Try this if u haven't, go to setting>security and disable 'Bluetooth LE Privacy'

If u have usb devices connected to shield then go to settings>system>usb mode and change it to 'compatibility'
