Looks like it is also on sale on Amazon. About $15 difference between eBay and Amazon.

u/billyvnilly · 6 pointsr/htpc

why not an nvidia shield? or he want to also PC game? Nvidia shield TV

u/imthedevil · 6 pointsr/PleX

It's actually $179, exactly like Apple TV 4K that OP bought.

u/techuck_ · 4 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Came to post this, but it's already here. Link for any lazy folk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RXV2VR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_1cW4BbKVNBTAJ

u/lightinthedark · 3 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Yup, $149 last year on Amazon


With controller didn't hit lowest price til second week of December ($159). Worth getting even if you don't plan on using it. Can easily resell the controller for ~$50.

u/OLeCHIT · 3 pointsr/htpc

NVIDIA SHIELD TV This is what I use. Not cheap but's amazingly slick. All of the streaming services, runs Kodi, Plex and can launch Steam.

The package with a gamepad is $20 more. Amazon has the media controller only version for $149.00, so $0.99 less than BestBuy.

u/654456 · 3 pointsr/cordcutters

Why not grab the shield TV, and grab a hdhomerun to consolidate what you are doing to one box instead of two so you aren't switching inputs? The shield has a several different DVRs built in. Also if you wanted to you could use plex with the shield?

Nvidia Shield.

Shield at Amazon

So, it costs more... at least it works better than my flashing screen piece of crap Premier plus that they don’t care to fix.

u/blondedre3000 · 2 pointsr/StreamTalk

More info on what? The shield? There's a few versions - regular and pro, with and without game controller.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RXV2VR/ref=twister_B00U37EA38?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It all depends on what you want to run. It used to be that if you had specific things you wanted like Prime Video for example, you had to go with something specific. That's mostly no longer the case anymore.

Apple TV is fantastic for almost all provider based apps with their TV section. If you have subs to things like HBO Go, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Doesn't support things like Kodi (There is an alternative to Kodi 16 called MrMc though), and forget about terrium. I've given up on most of those things since switching to plex shares, and now emby shares anyway, it's way more user friendly than constantly dicking with Kodi and the occasional crashes. To me it's the most polished of the 4 options, and the remote is the nicest to use.

For Android TV the shield is hard to justify, but nothing else touches it in terms of smoothness. It's on par with the Apple TV in terms of how effortless it runs. The remote kind of sucks though, and it's more expensive. It is better than the Mi, but $100 better? Only if you care about 4K amazon video or a few other things like that. If you're into Kodi then you probably want the Shield, or even the Shield Pro. It's the only box that can really handle it reasonably well. Kodi will literally turn my Mi Box into a fiery inferno until it eventually locks up due to thermal protection.

FireTV is kind of the outsider. It can do most everything a Mi Box can do, but is mainly geared towards buying and watching all things amazon. You can sideload things onto it though. Some people prefer the interface to Amazon TV, but I'm not sold. Never really did like the Prime App. The stick as you've discovered is woefully underpowered though. The previous gen box is ok though, more powerful than the Mi Box but not as much as the Shield.

Roku is kind of the "keep it simple" of the bunch. They aren't a content provider like Apple, Fire TV, etc, so they remained neutral and had the most app support for a long time (except Apple Movies). Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, etc, they were one of the only ones that had it all for a long time. I find that the interface is kind of dumb and woefully outdated though. It feels slower than just about everything else, and it's very restrictive on what you can do with it. You can't even set your own DNS or static IP for christ's sake. The other poster did have it right though, it is very stable and simple. I see a lot of older people using Roku.

u/sk9592 · 2 pointsr/hometheater

This would be my suggestion of what to buy for $3000. I'm sure most people on this sub would disagree with my more budget oriented picks. I'm just putting it out there.

Feel free to explain why I'm wrong.



Item | Price
---|---
VIZIO P-Series Quantum 65” | $1,500
Pioneer SP-PK52FS Andrew Jones 5.1 | $505
Denon AVRS740H | $403
100ft Speaker Wire | $13
Surge Protector | $25
Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield TV | $180
HDMI Cables (2x) | $13
Total | $2,666
|
Optional |
Banana Clips | $20
VESA Mount | $35
Atmos Speakers (In Ceiling) | $75
Atmos Speakers (Stand Alone)
| $240



For 4K and HDR it is very important that your HDMI cables are capable of 18Gbps. I have never had any signal issues with Monoprice cables, and the slim form factor of these cables is ideal for cable routing and management. Two cables is the bare minimum you need to get up and running. Obviously buy the appropriate length and amount that you need.

**For the Atmos speakers you only need one of the two options. In-ceiling speakers are objectively the superior quality and cheaper option. But they are not realistic for everyone's living situation. That is why I included the stand-alone speaker option. The speakers I picked would replace your two surround speakers and act as both surround and Atmos channels.

u/Velocity_Rob · 2 pointsr/miniSNESmods

Pay $40 more, get the Nvidia Shield TV and you have probably the best emulation box available.

u/bigpoppapaul · 2 pointsr/Addons4Kodi

If you can live without the gamepad, you can get the base model for 179 right now. https://www.amazon.ca/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Streaming-Player-Remote/dp/B075RXV2VR/

u/notaneggspert · 1 pointr/buildapc

Nvida shield. $179

PC's can have issues with surround sound through HDMI unless your motherboard/soundcard was made to be used in an HTPC kind of set up.

You can still stream content through Plex/Kodi for free through your home network in a more user friendly UI than a PC.

Pretty sure you can also stream games from your computer through the shield TV

I don't have one yet but as soon as I get some bills out of the way I'm rewarding myself with one. I was going to build a whole 3rd computer to use as an HTPC but forgot about all the annoying little stuff I had to deal with on my i3 4160 htpc build.

nvidia shield amazon ca

Is this the black friday deal? It can't get lower than this can it?

u/PalebloodSky · 1 pointr/AndroidTV

Any Android TV device including both of those above will do that. Both come with remotes. Mi Box S is $60 at Walmart and works fine, Shield TV is on sale right now at most outlets for $140 and is overall faster/better supported.

$139 at Amazon. [link]

Shield

u/MoogleMan3 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'd buy an nvidia shield tv and spend the remaining $1833 on a badass gaming PC.

u/FlickFreak · 1 pointr/AndroidTV

Mi Box and Shield TV both support HD Audio passthrough in Kodi or the Fire TV Stick 4K supports decoding of TrueHD or DTS-HD MA to 8-Channel PCM (no Atmos or DTS-X support though).

u/Jackson-Lee · 1 pointr/canadacordcutters

Mind if I ask where and how much you paid for NVIDIA SHIELD? It's $229 on Amazon.ca.

u/originalprime · 1 pointr/PleX

I am truly surprised that no one has mentioned the Nvidia Shield TV for this application. The device can be had for well under $200 and you can attach external drives to it.

It has plenty of oomph as a Plex Server for your described use case. This concept gives you:

  • All the transcoding goodness you want without mucking with filetypes and formats
  • Small footprint
  • Low power consumption
  • Can be run essentially headless
  • Cost effective

    Hopefully /u/Cravenspurs is still reading this thread!

Hmm, unable to find any information about this new device on nVidia website

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/specs/

So how, to know anywhing about device when you purchase it?

Is this correct / new latest device? https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B075RXV2VR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=nvidia%2Bshield%2B2nd%2Bgen&qid=1571683755&sr=8-1&th=1

u/RabidTurtl · 0 pointsr/PleX

We had problems with Roku, I just don't care for their devices.

If money is no issue, get an nvidia shield. It will play practically everything, and already has plex built in. I ended up getting two for my in-laws. As for other devices, I'm not familiar with them. From my understanding the amazon fire devices tend to be a bit underpowered, you may want to consider android based devices.

All tech is going to have an initial "getting use to" phase. The shield wasn't too bad for my in-laws to get use to, though they definitely needed help early on.

u/Reddituser703 · 0 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

The deal is still up..... Dunno why you have it as ended....
