Anyone using Singtel cast? Is the video playback still as jerky as before?

Thinking of subscribing to football but depends on how smooth the vid is

For HBO on Singtel cast is fine and loads instantly on my shiels, don't know about football channels though

I’m stuck with my purchase... apparently the us store can’t ship to singapore anymore. This is weird because previously the store was able to ship to singapore. I have triple checked that the seller is Amazon and not third 3party seller.

I have reached out to Amazon but they couldn’t get me a appropriate answer. Just keep repeating they are sorry can’t ship to sg despite me tell me that it can be done previously... what is going on man?

I guess I have to use a forwarder? I notice the shield remote comes with 2 aaa batteries.... is this going to be an issue? (Prohibited goods?)

Managed to buy it directly from Amazon. They turned on the option to ship to Singapore directly. Now have to wait for it to arrive.

Anyone managed to use the shield controller to shut down xiaomi tv? I can “shut down” the tv, can only turn the screen off. But somehow I can “boot up” the tv with shield remote....

It’s the sound bar that process your Atmos, not tv.
Refer to this.

Guess u need to try the sound options available on nvidia shield and sound bar.

Hi, did u managed to get it to work in the end?
I'm also considering to get an Shield Pro and a Samsung Q90R Soundbar.

After fooling around with display settings, my shield tv pro 2019 suddenly stopped playing HDR correctly when it previously could. Applies to Netflix or any internal content.

Turning off match content color space and choosing YUV 420 10-bit Rec.2020 HDR10 ready did not help either. All HDR now looks really dark and dim. However, if the content is played directly on the projector which is my input device, it is fine.

I have tried reset with no avail either...any ideas? Am on 8.2 firmware.

Edit: tested on LG TV as well, it is stuck at BT709 and refuses to go BT 2020 regardless of settings, cable or output device...

Can I know what app you use to see your frame rate resolution and BT Color?

can check, is there any starhub tv+ apk that can run on shield?

No, none for Android TV OS. Just cast from mobile.

If you really want to try, extract the apk from phone, install on your Nvidia Shield TV, install Set Orientation or other screen rotation app, then use a mouse to see if that works or not.

Thanks, bro, for clarifying. Pity then

normally people will do more, rather than just having one iptv app.

if you want to play movies/drama with 4k hdr, atmos sound...etc , better get shield.

I have PC I also dunno where to get the IPTV app that my mom needs.
