You need a USB tv tuner for it.

If the tv have a build-in DVB-T2 tuner, just get an external antenna to get local HD channels. You dont require the nvidia shield tv for local HD channel. But if you want those overseas channels or IPTV, then get the shield.

For ease of use, get a dvb-t2 tuner for the tv will do. Nvidia Shield Tv is an android box with gaming capability. It gg to be underutilized if you gg to use it just for tv channel. There are cheaper android box out there with paid iptv that support both local HD and overseas channels. You can consider those options.

Local tv channels my suggestion is to use external antennas direct to the tv, it will give you more stable and better experience. As for android box, Nvidia Shield tv would be the most complete box to use. The speed is fast, lots of supports and very stable. You can use it as media player, gaming emulator, home automation (google assistant), NAS storage. Etc. Well you need to explore all possible to have it to suit your needs. Ive tried lots of android boxes before settling for nvidia shield tv as my main box.

If I am looking for local channels + Android Apps on my samsung TV, which Android TV box would you recommend? Mainly apps like VLC to play videos. |

There is compatible USB tuner but from what i research the quality is kinda bad. Sometimes it will freeze and sometimes you wont get any signal.
