Nvidia Shield TV

[lordlad0]

I use the Amazon Fire TV Stick remote, it has play, rewind, forward, back, home, options, left, right, up down, and select buttons. IMO, it's better than the Shield TV Remote, and cheaper too.

but it's an amazon fire stick.......... (*_*)

You might want to check out the various forums for this as different apps handle it differently. For Kodi, pressing right or left will skip by a small amount while up or down will jump a bigger amount. Selecting center button will give you a menu for play control. Plex seems to be missing the skipping by pressing left/right key.

Since Kodi/SATV supports HDMI-CEC protocol, you don't really need the SATV Remote. Instead you can use the TV remote control to navigate the Kodi interface. You can use the FWD, RWD, STOP, PLAY, PAUSE, BACK buttons on the TV remote control to handle the various functions.

Just ordered today for USD174, had to chat with CSO to price match as the price went back to USD199. Seems that the remote is not eligible for free shipping even though it is supposedly bundled together(SATV itself qualifies for FS).

Funny thing is SATV remote without bundle qualifies for FS w $125 spent, at the checkout page the remote does not qualify for international FS. Long story short CSO price matched and promised to refund the amount that I paid extra for international shipping(because of the remote).

Anyone know if M1's 200mbps plan is sufficient for smooth Gforce Now gaming? currently on an ancient 100mbps plan. Wondering if I should re contract to a 1gbps or 200mbps plan.

Any bros already using the nVidia Shield TV with remote for media consumption like youtube, kodi and plex?

Able to answer?

pardon my grammar but what do you mean by "consumption"

Bro try this: Place order with Standard Shipping for all items. (Must be the same!!) Then go edit your order, choose free shipping. If you already placed order, then you cannot choose free anymore. Hate this bug until I discovered this method.

 

[lordlad0]

it seems there will be an even bigger discount if you wait till next monday (cyber monday) on amazon..

Instead of USD175 with remote then, it will be USD150 with remote

So, this is the proven method to get both the main unit and bundled remote under free shipping?
Sorry.. kinda confuse. Just wanna confirm for Monday

if it's not shipped, you can. if it's shipped, you can't.

Also, technically the shield tv bundle discount hasn't happened yet (it's scheduled on monday) so you can't tell them to give you a discount on a future event, dude.

mine is shipped...remote is in Singapore, still undergoing customs clearance since yesterday morning...the main unit itself is still in US. Saw at a Nvidia Tablet FB group that the sale is from 26th to 28th.

It's a bug that happens during the checkout, when you have individual items above USD125 and below USD125. They will end up separating the items into batches which is confusing.

There's no harm trying the checkout, you can cancel the order and start again.

Any idea how to cancel? I accidentally placed the order while trying the back and continue trick, but every time I try to cancel it gives an error, probably because its split the order into 2. I have emailed Amazon already to assist to cancel on their end.

Nvm, customer service replied with option of waiving off the shipping, or cancellation and waiting for black Friday deal. I opted for cancellation.

So the GeForce Now "Buy and Play instantly" games will not work for us. I used US VPN to buy Metro Last Light in USD, then turned off VPN and it switched back to EURO pounds, and the game I bought does not appear anymore it is asking me to buy again. So I switched on US VPN and tried to play the game using VPN and it was so slow it did not even load.

So if you want to subscribe for the free to play with membership then it is good. Those newer games that must buy cannot be played by us.

If anyone managed to find out how to do it please advise.

Thanks.

That is good news. But hopefully it will be only SGD$9.99

Hi amazon is selling 16gb with remote at $199 (free shipping to SG) but bestbuy is selling the same bundle at $149 (need to use forwarder to ship to SG)

Will amazon reduce the price further? Saw previous post amazon was selling at $175
