Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.

    Get an Nvidia Shield Pro and disconnect your TV from the internet.

      When was the last time they even refreshed the hardware? Kinda hard to justify a $200 streaming box that runs Google services on 6 year old mobile hardware.

        About 10 years old actually. It’s the TI-83 of streaming boxes at this point: an absolute fucking rip-off. Pretty on-brand for Nvidia though.

        Blame the rest of the market for being shit - Shield pro is still the best box on the market for streaming HD video with HD audio.

        Does your Apple TV stream Atmos? TrueHD? I don’t think so…
