Comment on Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?

I bought the Nokia 8010 TV box instead of the shield. I do not know if it’s available in your country. Why? Cheaper and same ish enough.

I like it but “like” is all there is. I do not love it. As most android boxes it is not 100% stable and needs a reboot after a week or so.

I red in several forums the nvidia shield has the same problem.

Tbh the appletv is the wise choice. Stable, more apps, better ecosystem, better soc, more storage. Plex also works on it.

I couldn’t use it unfortunately because my Atmos setup is not arc 2.0 and the appletv only does uncompressed atmos. With arc 1.x atmos it’s only possible to send atmos compressed over dolby digital plus.

I don’t think you can paint all Android TV boxes with the same brush. I have the original Shield and it has been very stable and rarely needs to be rebooted.

  For some reason my 2019 crashes when I start watching something in disney+ and change the volume during the first 5 seconds of the video.

    I don’t use Disney+, so I can’t speak to that, but I side-loaded FLauncher as soon as they introduced ads on the home screen.

I ended up buying the Vertex2 device from HDFury. It solved all my audio issues by extracting audio from HDMI and sending it separately to my sound bar. Meanwhile, the video signal adds fake Dolby Vision support for my Samsung TV so that I get HDR whenever it’s available.

I do need to use Infuse as the media player on the Apple TV to get Dolby Atmos / Vision to work on most movies. I used to have to switch to the NVIDIA Shield to get that to work, but can’t remember a movie that has not worked lately.
