Review on πŸ”₯ Powerful 2019 NVIDIA SHIELD TV BOX PRO - Black: Unleash Ultimate Entertainment by Abhey Gautam (Abhey ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

There is a small problem with the fact that when used for a long time without an overload, the cache is filled. This is only reflected on Youtube. The video may seem to hang right during playback and does not twist. It is treated easily. Just quickly clean the program to clear the cache and everything works. Once every 2-3 weeks, I still recommend cleaning it manually and then reloading the prefix.

Pros
  • The best android tv box on the market for the past few years. I myself use the previous version, I bought a triangular remote control from the new one, which, by the way, also fits all previous versions of the console. Experience of use - more than 3 years. In parallel, in other places of residence, I used other set-top boxes (Beelink, Xiaomi, Vontar). None even came close in terms of power and reliability to Nvidia. Used in different formats. I also connected it to an external NAS server, to which BlueRay in MKV was downloaded at 60-70 gigabytes, I also connected an external USB 3.0 drive (WesternDigital) to download torrents directly through the set-top box. Everything works stably. Of course, something needs to be tweaked. Since it’s not pure Android here, but Android TV, then some programs like HD Videobox need to be installed via apk files, since they won’t be in the store. However, it's not hard to figure this out. Of the mandatory additional programs for installation, I recommend System loader, Chrome, HD Videobox, ACE Stream, MX player (I recommend not to be greedy and install the Pro version and a set of codecs for AC3 and DTS for ARM 8 processors), some VPN and some program for clearing cache. All other programs are in the official store. What I also like is that there is an optical input for audio through which I connect my 5.1 headphones. Another big plus is that the set-top box is licensed by both Netflix (although this may not be relevant for everyone now due to recent events) and Kinopoisk HD (on some Android TV boxes without such a license, Kinopoisk either does not start or works intermittently). I would also like to note that there are regular firmware ates for set-top boxes of all versions. Only in my memory, the OS jumped from the 8th Android to the 11th (now). In general I recommend
Cons
  • The price, of course, is rather big. Especially now. But keep in mind that you are buying a gadget that you will most likely use for at least 3-4 years almost every day, so it's up to you to decide.
