My 2019 shield pro went back to the box since I’ve got an Apple TV 4k. The shield is just not powerful enough. The ATV feels so smooth while navigating and using apps. The Infuse video player has no alternative on Android. The highly recommended Kodi is laggy and buggy, so many times had to force close because it froze. My ATV is not even the latest with the best chip, and it destroys everything in terms of performance aside from ATV next gen. It’s just sad that nobody can put a decent chip into an Android TV box.

I was curious about this because when I moved into my house 2 years ago we were dead broke. I had a Galaxy S9 with a smashed display, i thought i clould use it with Dex to watch KZbin Revanced on for the time being, then i used it for Disley plus for my son and then Netflix and Prime video for my wife, BeeTV & Moonlight for myself to stream my pc & then xbox game pass. I now have one in each room connected to a dock with pass through charging, mouse and keyboards & i highly doubt I'll go back to any other setup. It's worth a go if you have a drawer of old phones 😁 -edit: It's that good i also purposefully bought a broken S20 for £45 specifically for a diy tablet featuring 14" 10 point touch laptop display, ugreen dock for 256gb+ storage & usb ports for peripherals, 10,000mah battery bank, encased inside a 3d printed case. I was thinking of making it a youtube video but idk

Short answer is no,. Having recently tried the latest fire stick, I was disappointed how laggy the apps were, and the overall navigation is quite poor and riddled with ads. Going back to freeview and a smart TV

I still recommend The Shield at the moment, although 6 months from now I might recommend buzz TV instead..... That recommendation is currently pending on how trustworthy and reliable long-term that device proves itself to be. Time and testing will tell. Major red flag on buzz TV for me is the fact that Aptoide TV is front and center along with an app installer sideload app. It appears to be geared more towards users who can't wait to see how fast they can affect their network with who knows what from Kodi add-ons and side-loaded rogue apks offering free movies that they find anywhere on the net. For me if it gets 4K Netflix support which buzz TV currently does not have at the moment, however 1080p Netflix works just fine which is all I have anyway because F U Netflix I will not pay more for 4K when your competition with Amazon and disney, hulu, give it for free, same for you HBO max, stop charging extra for better quality. Picture quality due to internet bandwidth availability should not be up charged. Netflix does not charge extra for 4K. Anyway buzz TV is very interesting so to each their own and results might vary. For people wanting the best maybe look at Shield if you demand perfect reliable stable quality, if you are more adventurous and want to experiment however, a much more powerful machine can be found with buzz TV. I don't remember the exact model of the device but it's the obvious big and beefy green and black box design that their site advertisers like crazy and you see all over the Internet these days. That's the one to look at. 8 GB version 300, 16 GB 400 bucks. A little more pricey but a lot more power, could be worth it.

Took it apart to replace the thermal paste and cleaned it and now its even better than what I initially thought. if buying second hand repaste and put ion developer mode and youll be set.

I'm on the fence. I'm a truck driver I have a large Plex library at home served up from my NAS. So I can watch all my favorite movies on the road. The native Plex app on my trucks LG TV doesn't have enough horsepower to stream Plex. I use the Plex Windows PC app intel i9 1200h. And it streams high-resolution high bitrate files without breaking a sweat. Streams it like I'm watching Netflix. I'm on the fence because I want more of a streaming app experience using the native remote. Not a mouse and keyboard. I have the most convenient Bluetooth keyboard iclever fold up mouse keyboard combo. I still would rather have a remote so I may be getting one of these. or maybe not for 200 bucks being 10 years old. I don't know man

App performs very poorly. Duplicate audio play issues across streaming apps are so annoying. In order to fix you need to restore factory settings and start the whole process of adding, linking and logging on in order to watch.

How fast is your Internet speed, and what Wifi router are you using? I have Xfinity internet and it is 50 Megabits dowload speed, and have not had issue's with my Amazon 4K Firestick watching free movies on Crackle, Tubi, Pluto TV, Xumo, Freevee and using Netflix with it, however I have noticed on Friday and Saturday evenings that Netflix tends to cache a bit, but any other day it works fine. If your going to buy a Amazon Firestick I would get the 4K Max with 16GB of storage.

I recently Picked up a T500rs for £70. Sent the seller an offer on ebay and he accepted. At that price, i didn't mind if it worked or not, but to my amazement, it looked better irl than the pictures. It honestly looks almost unused, but the pics showed it was dusty and scuffed and turned a lot of buyers off i guess, but its cleaned up like new. Its feels loads better than the G25 i had back in 2006. Its been such a long time since i last used a wheel, so it feels like im rediscovering the hobby again despite starting it almost 2 decades ago lol

Really, it's mostly for convenience sake. While a PC can pretty much do everything that any android TV Box can, it's a lot harder to have a simple and streamlined setup for casual movie watching, for example, if someone like my Mom wants to watch something on TV, she wouldn't have a clue how to get it up and running on the PC 😂. So an android TV box just takes what's great about a viewing on a PC and puts it in a more tidy package (providing you know how to set it up, of course)

Appreciate the comparison between 2017 and 2019. I wonder how the newest shield compares to the newest shield pro. Am also considering the Onn 4k pro or 4k. Seems to have a nice controller, I like all the buttons. Google is releasing a Google 4k Tv streamer; wondering if I should wait for that. The Amazon firecube 3 also seems awesome but I find them pushing Amazon apps and content annoying. Hopefully they're all updatable to Android OS 14.

It doesn't. BUT if you know how, pull/backup the firestick xfiniity app and install it on the Shield. It will work, but it won't show up on the home screen/launcher. You'll have to launch it from Settings->Apps. Afterward, it will appear in your recently used apps if you doubleclick the home button.

In addition, it will behave slightly differently. For example, the long overdue live guide doesn't work on the shield, only on the firestick. You'll have to back out of whatever you're watching to access the guide.
