This baby runs fast n smooth, 4k on Netflix n YouTube is out of this world. The ultimate All in One entertainment device you need in the living room.
latency has nothing to do with your speed...you can have 1gbps internet speed but still bad latency since it's more to do with the number of 'hops' from your ISP to the destination...Grid game streaming latency is bad in Singapore. Half a sec delay even with 400mbps connection speed.
can recommend the transformer/step down to use with this?
thanks in advance

yo bro , can u walkthru how to get 4k netflix to run on shield tv? the only way I could is set up vpn on my router but that slows down everything on my internet.
I read u need a vpn and assigned static ip on the shield ? can teach me how ? thanks inadvance .
also may I ask what mouse are you all using? I am looking for a good bt mouse for playing games on shield
I use MyRepublic & I think the vpn teleport thing is standard feature.
I just sign up with a local credit cad & a U.S. Zip code.
ah.. thanks for the info.
I am using M1 fibre so need to get an vpn. so for your case there is no need to set up anything on the ethernet settings on your shield TV ?
I received my unit over the weekend and after the initial issues with setup (constant reboots) when using my Sony TV as output, I used a PC monitor instead and it finally went through. Upgraded to v1.3 firmware and everything's running fine now. I also bought the remote in a separate order.
It replaces a Minix Neo 7 which I've used for around a year.
The following apps seem to run with little/no issues:
1) Kodi (Streaming from NAS, remote sites, all ok)
2) Netflix (HD, no 4K TV to test yet)
3) Crunchyroll
4) OpenVPN for Android App
5) PureVPN android app (mobile portait view / scaling is very small)
6) GameStream (works flawlessly - I can't discern any lag or loss of graphical quality)
7) DramaFever app version. (VPN ok, SmartDNS no-go).
8) GRID gaming - connected to East Asia servers (I believe it's Japan). Pings are around 80ms.
Issues I couldn't resolve:
1) Hulu Plus Android TV version 1.1.2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hulu.livingroomplus&hl=en)
Tested with SmartDNS and VPN and both are no-go when I start movie playback.
It complains about being unable to load the stream. I believe this is the geo-restriction being enforced. The other Hulu app (non-Android TV) has no video playback issues, but it took me many tries to input my account details due to the weird scaling + repetitive switching between portrait and landscape modes until it hangs.
If anyone has the Hulu Plus working, do you mind sharing which DNS/VPN service you are using?
Thanks radioshack!Try Unotelly
Alvin bro, can share how to use unotelly with the shield ? (for netflix play back)
I am using Unotelly for my TV but clueless how to set it up on shield TV connected to TV
