I was thinking of creating a thread about this... and here we are.

Your local mom and pop computer place usually has a team (one pot smoking kid) dedicated to loading and remotely updating IPTV streams in exchange for $15-ish dollars per month.. So if you want 'desirable channels', they will load the necessary software on your Nvidia Shield (a god send). It's exactly what you think it is, and it's usually amazing.

That being said, there are ways to get this service for free, but I understand it's more labor intensive.

As reported condition was 97-98%. Only some micro-scratches on the glossy part on top. You can only see it in direct light at just the right angle. The box was kinda rough if you care about that.

It is 205.8 for remote and controller version. I can give 40$ for controller if some one in Toronto don’t want it.

You folks are forcing me to make a decision on purchase on the credible threat of stock out.

Amazing how after so long, shield is still the best box. This is a pretty good deal since it was $200 for new during BF/BD last year. Shield durability has being proven more or less by the fact its still going strong for most after 4+ years so used vs new shouldn't matter too much.

Emulation on the Nvidia Shield in 2019

redflagdealsguy wrote: ↑ GeforeNow fascinates me too. Long story short, I like the Nvidia Shield... I'm also inclined to turn it into an emulator as I'm told it can emulate right up to PS2 / Gamecube.

While it's overkill for IPTV, I also don't like delay in my life, and the Shield is highly responsive.

In summary:
- GeForceNow
- Fast IPTV
- Best Android Emulator Box
- Smart Home Box [ADDED]

Can't go wrong folks.

Nvidia Shield GeForce Now Gaming @ 4K60

The video is from June 2018, GeForce Now is even better in 2019.

NVIDIA has been updating the software regularly too, throughout that period, with substantial functional improvements and Android 8.0 Oreo. Today's Shield is as "current" as any new box from someone else.

Basically a Shield today is still as competitive as it was 4 years ago. There's no urgency for NVIDIA to make substantial hardware upgrades. Software/firmware updates continue. So why wait for who knows how long if you need one today?

Amazon doesn't do PMs or price protection so many peopel returned their new Shields to Amazon for refund at regular price then bought new ones at lower prices. I imagine that accounts for a lot of Amazon's warehouse stock. Besides anything you buy on AW can be returned if it doesn't work, is missing parts, physically damaged, etc.

Nvidia Shield now integrates with home smart devices using Smart Things and Google Assistant, it's truly an all-encompassing device. Nvidia just keeps upgrading this thing.

Emulator wise I have it set up running everything up to Gamecube. Just haven't found the stability yet for Gamecube roms. Otherwise everything else is smooth. Have a 128gb usb and it just runs all games off it.

I use it a lot for IPTV and it's miles my miboxes for stability and speed.

No discussion of IPTV sources.

$229 right now. You're saving $52.91.

Not bad, IMO. Also below Black Friday low of $179.99 (new).

It remains best of show, even in 2019.

I needed a box, and wanted a good one.

Probably Late 2019, the previous one dropped Late 2017.

Curious. Does no one care about the GeforceNow option? It seems like a very convenient solution to couch gaming on a TV, for anything but semi-competitive FPS games. You can even attach a keyboard and mouse.

overkill for IPTV.netflix,youtube,etc! i have the controller version but don't even game or use it! i use it every day tho cuz its voice control via google mini and logitech harmony hub! 'hey google, power on the shield tv!' This launches my iptv to last channel u watched , i had it working with alexa and alberto sonos skills but its wonky now ...'alexa, IPTV' will turn on my iptv sub last channel

firestick 4k is alot cheaper but less options then the shield and slower with less ROM 8gb only so u cannot install alot of apps like on the shield

I get that, but I want a long lasting reliable box, and GeforeNow fascinates me too. Long story short, I like the Nvidia Shield... I'm also inclined to turn it into an emulator as I'm told it can emulate right up to PS2 / Gamecube.

It's used though? Be a good deal if it was new..

Very happy with my Apple TV (Infuse + NAS = great experience) but i definitely see the appeal of Nvidia shield. I'm just hoping Apple allows atmos for video files before i upgrade my system to atmos in the next year or two, otherwise i'll be shopping for a Shield haha.

For 4k, yes. And the Geforce Now gaming side can be a blast too.

But my shield blows my amazon firestick 4k out of the water for 4k plex streaming at original bitrate.
