    Nvidia Shield Comparison Chart

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:27 PM PST

    I created this chart as I could not find one that had all the models and differences. Let me know if there are any issues.

    Unique/Oddities Tube form factor, different power cable, only supports 32bit apps.

    Whats the same?

    • HDMI:2.0b
    • Codecs: HEVC, VP9
    • Audio Codes: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WAVE, AMR, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, PCM, WMA, WMA-Pro, WMA-Lossless, Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD (pass-through), DTS-X and DTS-HD (pass-through)
    • Format/Container support: Xvid/ DivX/ASF/AVI/MKV/MOV/M2TS/MPEG-TS/MP4/WEB-M
    • Android 9
    • Resolution: 4K 60FPS
    • 40 W power adapter (5-10 W typical consumption) *(2019 unsure)
    • Chromecast 4K

    Should you upgrade?

    • If you want Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10, DD+/Dolby Atmos decoding, "AI" upscaling, bluetooth 5.0, smaller form factor; don't need MicroSD or MicroUSB slots, an IR receiver; than sure - upgrade.
    • While performance is touted as being 25% more powerful - benchmarks don't say the same.
    • Avoid the tube if you want to host a plex server, run 64 bit apps (like dolphin emulator), or use a USB port,
    • The remote will soon be available as a standalone purchase for $29.99 in January.

    Philips 5504 series "Can't open that right now" when attempting to switch inputs

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:56 PM PST

    Picked up the 5504 series at Walmart for Black Friday. Day 2 trying to use the damn thing and the input switching button on the remote is no longer working, and I am getting this error every time I try to switch inputs using the input option on the Home screen. I've rebooted the remote, rebooted the TV, and even did a factory reset on the TV, but still see the issue. I will try to get ahold of Philips tomorrow to see what they suggest, and I'll update here with the resolution (if any).

    I'm pissed because I am familiar with Android TV (I have two Mi Boxes), and I was drawn to the thought of having a TV with it installed natively. Has anyone else seen this issue with this or any other TV running Android?

    Edit 1: Error message actually reads "Can't open this right now." Sorry about the mistake in the post name.

    Edit 2: I forgot to mention that I had all the latest updates installed, and everything was working fine on Day 1.

    CBC Gem Live Channels app and CTV app on Android TV

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:16 PM PST

    CBC Gem now works with Google's live channels app giving you 14 channels to view, also CTV is now on Android TV. Let's hope now Bell, Corus and Rogers add all their apps to Android TV and also get them to work with live channels

    Mi Box S - won't connect with USB to Ethernet adaptor - only working over wifi - any ideas?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:48 PM PST

    Hi, this one's driving me crazy

    MI Box S (MIBOX4)

    Android Oreo Version: 8.1.0

    Android security patch 5th May 2019

    Kernel version: 4.9.61

    Download is 6mbps however my hardwired PC next to it is getting 55mbps so obviously the way to go.

    I've seen the UGreen ethernet adaptors come recommended so now have tried 2 of them, but the MI Box doesn't seem to recognise them.

    The models I've tried are:

    UGREEN FBA_20256 https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Network-Ethernet-Supports-Nintendo/dp/B00MYTSN18

    UGREEN 20265 https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-1000Mbps-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00LLUEJFU/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=UGREEN+20265&qid=1575153690&s=electronics&sr=1-1

    Leds on both adaptors are both flickering away like there is some data being passed through them, however under wifi settings in the MiBox S settings menu, under "Ethernet" the status always remains as "Not Connected".

    I've tried disabling wifi and rebooting yet still no luck.

    Can any one help/ offer advice

    Thanks

    HBO Now Messing Up Play Next List

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:41 AM PST

    On both my Shield and Nexus Player, HBO Now always populates my Play Next list with episodes I've already watched. Is anybody else having the same issue?

    Also, even when it works "correctly" it has 2 entries for the same thing. For example I've been watching The Wire and there are 2 shortcuts for it, one with specifically the next episode, then right next to it a shortcut to "continue watching" The Wire. Hoping the app devs can fix this soon cause it kind of makes the Play Next list useless.

    A good alternative for steam link?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:29 AM PST

    Hi guys!

    I have my PC and TV in two different rooms. I'd like to be able to play videogames from my PC on my TV. I'd also like to be able to stream the phone screen to my PC. These are literally the only two things I want or need.

    Now, Nvidia Shield TV seems fun but it offers A TON of useless features and seems extremely bloated + it's rumored to have constant issues with controllers, even common ones.

    Steam link is not for sale anymore and I'm quite sure I don'r want to buy a used one - their lifetime was pretty meh.

    What else is there on the market?

    Hi,

    I have a Mi box s and going to take a Netflix account soon. As I am located in Germany, I have concerns over accessing American content (I prefer to watch original movies and series without any translation). What are my options?
