Thanks.. through Amazon, am getting for ~22.5 K
Nvidia Shield Tv- Owners Thread!!
- Thread starter Immu
- Start date
I was thinking of getting through Newegg
That's also a good option; no personal experience, though. Before placing the order, check with their support on the Customs Clearance procedure to ensure that the courier takes care of clearance and nothing comes down to you.
The current model is two-plus years old. Nvidia launches new models every two years, 2015, 2017, and last was 2019. Maybe Covid delayed the launch of the next gen model. Could be worth the wait for anyone wanting to use it long term. For the rest who can sell and upgrade or are satisfied with 2019 model, it is no brainer.
that is correct but new model is unlikely this year and even if it launches next year than there will be quite a bit of shortage due to Chips unavailability so not worth the wait IMO, if could wait till Nov end can get at a good Black Friday discount.
I think better to wait till Nov.. if new model is released will come to know else purchase during black Friday.
BTW, at what price point it's available during Black Friday?

You cannot connect external HDD to the tube version.
Tube is strictly for streaming only.
Now people are crazy about shield. But heard from a dealer that it will stop support ott content where its official presence is not there.
Zappiti also stopped supporting ott as per him.
So prior to purchase please confirm with shield support.
But can Kodi be installed on Shield Tube? Can access NAS over LAN.

Yes, should be able to do that. I haven't tried it though.
@Love4sound does something similar, he directly streams movies.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
