There is a SG seller in 11street selling for rm1k. That is the best price I found previously. If you buy from sg website still need to pay gst and import tax.

For 11street & Lazada, seller will take care of GST & Import tax. You don't pay extra.
From what I know, wherever you buy it from, there is no local warranty available. Even if there is a local seller, they will not give you warranty for it. Still goes back to Nvidia US. Unfortunately this is the risk for buying (most) stuff which are not distributed locally.

Ubox... like the cheapest boxes, u dun get a lot. Expected.

Come think of it, it is probably true the shield has this quasar ext hdd write restriction.
Becos there is the shield pro with 500gb internal storage for that purpose... they gotta sell this model too!
So, u just get what is available in internal storage... 10, 11gb.
It is a drawback i wont like too.
If u need more comments quasar, can discuss further at kodi or specific box thread.

Lastly... my bad... ignore this tddownload folder i mentioned... it is just an existing folder i used, nothing to do with quasar.
If u set the path to even the root drive, the video folder will appear at root level.
If u DL subs, it will appear as a new subtitles folder.
*
Don't know about the external drive restriction, but for the standard 16gb Shield, the storage can be increased via USB flash drive or SSD. So far even the 10-11gb is good enough for normal use coz I don't download movies through Kodi and I have less than 10 purchased games. Maybe there is some workaround for the Quasar issue?

Unfortunately there is still no fix for auto frame-rate and colour-space switching.

Auto resolution switch also dont have yet right

I guess we have to move to apple tv 4k for those.....sigh

Then for full kodi experience need to get an amlogic device flashed with libreelec....

One device for all doesnt exist....
*
Resolution does switch automatically. It's just the frame rate & colour-space that needs to be switched manually.
Apple TV 4K can't even do audio passthrough, so no point getting that.

Overall, the Shield is still better than any other box except for this problem.

So every box got their own issue.

Anyway I decide get Apple TV 4K box already, hope I can get at shop. Reason I got done movie purchase at iTunes and their movie price is much cheaper, got 4K HDR movie as well, also I still got Mi Box.
*
I think you can get at all Apple / Machines stores. Good choice, since you use itunes. Also, since its still relatively new maybe it will get better in the future and fix audio passthrough and its other kinks.
Personally I would never be caught stuck with anything within Apple's locked-down ecosystem. Case in point: Steamlink app was blocked by Apple at the last minute, so it can't stream PC games.
I hope there are more choices but at the moment we are stuck with many imperfect ones.

Apple tv is good for streaming apps like netflix hulu etc.  as res/colourspace/frame rate switch works well for them (not 100% sure if atmos works with netflix or not, as only pcm works for mrmc)

Hence why i said we need amlogic libreelec for others as in kodi as yes, apple tv isn't a good choice for local playback smile.gif

So two devices are needed for max media consumption satisfaction...

For now i will stick with shield 2015 and 1080p ecosystem till hdmi 2.1 chain of devices are available

Yup, there are no perfect boxes available and unfortunately this has been the case since the beginning. I was previously using 2 boxes but I am just using the Shield mostly and my Sony Android TV (for Dolby Vision). Just have to see what new boxes come up in the next year.

Anyone here tried GeforceNow on their shield? How was it?

Tried. Ping is very high 223ms for me.

QUOTE(megahertz @ Jul 19 2018, 10:13 PM)
u can play the games, but still got noticeble lags.
since all the servers is in US. latency around 100-300ms
im playing on unifi 50mbps.
*
There are 5 servers in EU as well. I got connected to EU Central which I suppose is the nearest to Malaysia. Still ping is too high.
I hope they add a SG server to serve Asia Pacific.

Tested out FortNite yesterday. Getting 240ms and recommended setting is 720p due to the delay compensation. Gg Wei haha. Playable game but 720p burns my eyes and occasional graphical defects due to poor streaming from US server.

Read that there's a Asian Pasific server before but it was removed in March to be relocated elsewhere. Need to wait for it to be available again before we could enjoy it.

Overall, it was pretty fun yesterday playing FortNite for the first time. I'm used to PubG but playing a shooter using a controller is really new. Can't wait for the Asian Pasific server to come. Guess when that happens it should be playable smooth at 1080p. For casual gaming, Shield is really a beast.
*
Thanks for the update. I have previously tried gamestream from PC and not all games work well with a controller but some are totally playable especially RPG type games. Really liked this GFN concept because you can play any game you own on Steam, Origin, etc without having the PC running but unfortunately the absence of an AP server ruined it.

I am not too confident the AP server will be up anytime soon since its been > 3 months offline. They probably moved it to Europe or US since the servers there increased while AP was shut down. I suppose there are too few of us in this region to make it worthwhile for them.

Yeah. Even FortNite shows partial support for controller. Have u tried hooking up keyboard and mouse?

Hopefully when they launch out of beta, the price for GFN won't be skyhigh. And need AP server as well. Saw a lot of complaints on their forums bout it.
*
Nope, didn't try that. I have a gaming PC so this is just for leisure only not serious gaming.
Yeah, hope they provide a AP server and don't price it too high.

Anyone has problem with Netflix app? I can go into the app and choose a show to watch but as soon as it loads, it says that this show is not available now error.
Tried restarting app, restart the shield, uninstall updates, re-login, force close and reload but nothing works. Keep having the same problem.
Anyone else experience this?

So far no issue. What about your network connection? Better use Ethernet.
*
No problem with network connection and I am using wired. In the network test within the app it passes all the network related tests with all 4 servers and the speed is 50mbps but still having the problem for all shows.
I am able to use the Netflix app on my Sony tv and everything works fine but on the Shield it is not working.
Seems to be a common problem but most people are able to fix it with a restart or re-login. I don't want to do a factory reset unless I really have to.

Any external hard disk attached? If u used external as internal, you may try to move the app to in and out with diff drive to test. Also enable some sort of "weak connection" app function under Ethernet settings to test out.
*
No external hard disk, everything is on the Shield itself. What is this weak connection app function? Is it something within the ethernet settings?
