  It astonishes me that the shield is still the best of the streaming boxes after all these years.

    its still very capable, but best depends. iirc there are certain audio formats the shield doesnt support.

    i personally would love a new shield using ~switch 2 soc just so i can move emulation/lower end pc onto it.

      What format does the shield not support that other boxes do support?

        I went to go look it up for my old setup, turns out its mainly for the older models, as the codecs are only supported on the newer revisions of the shield tv.

        though with the shield tv, one of the missing things that would be nice to have would be AV1 support (as Nvidia only supported AV1 starting with Ampere based gpus)

    It’s so versatile. One of the last great products Nvidia came up with before shooting up AI crack.
