Nobody ever mentions that the Shield outputs audio from its USB ports, providing better audio than via HDMI going to a TV. I have an Emotiva preamp that has USB input, so I just use this for direct audio, and the HDMI is for video. The Shield remote is certainly better than the Chromecast remote, which seems to be made of buttered Teflon.
I have just bought my first apple TV, I am very impressed. It is a more locked down system than my Android Minix U22 box but for those that want something that just works and has a great picture quality and smooth interface the Apple TV is excellent.
Can you use voice commands to open TH-cam on specific video on the Apple TV? And how’s the iptv apps? I have the shield and I’m think on getting the Apple TV
Yes, you can open TH-cam Videos with voice commands in the search and you can search from menu. İ tried Flix İptv app and it was ok for me. But on Shield there are more iptv apps.
Do people press the button without holding the remote?They always holding the remote(Nvidia Shield tv) when pressing the button.I own Nvidia Shield Tv Pro, the remote is just fine.
I own both and I’m actually returning the shield. Might go back to it on the next version of it but with all the issues I had with my shield and Plex. I’ll take the downsides of Apple for now till shield becomes a bit more polished. Audio was noticeably better on the pro. Looking forward to refinements of it
I'm not a fan of the new Nvidia pro remote either. Their first one was simplistic and did its job. The common problem with the first generation of remote for the Nvidia shield is that it abruptly just stops working even with new batteries. I've purchased several different versions for my Nvidia shield over the years. Nothing beats the first one. Now if they could just fix that stupid problem where they just don't work anymore. Apple was going for the simplistic design which truly makes it easy for you to navigate without looking.
After playing around with the shield for a few hours, conclusion is it’s completely garbage, a 2nd generation 4k firestick out performs this, it’s hilariously bad, I’m returning it
My kids can’t get enough of the Apple TV for gaming and other great games. I had one when they first came out which wasn’t impressive. Now the Atv is much more upgraded and very easy to use I’m glad I went for this option. Picture is awesome I’ve got all the great link up with my other Apple devices. Down side I have to turn it off now and again. But boots back up very quickly
If you have a high end theater , the only choice is nvidia shield.. It supports all the audio codecs that you would need. For some reason apple does not support alot of codecs even though it has enough power.. This review did not touch on this at all..
The remote would be fine if they don’t make it such a pain the ass to take the back off. Just slide it off like every other remote. Like why they thought of that. And the batteries don’t last long at all.
I own both systems i love the apple for streaming, the picture quality is way better than my shield seems apple has a smarter ai upscale for content but the shield is amazing for gaming like its a beast in the gaming department the graphics are amazing for such a tiny machine although I’d wager if Apple opened up their system more and allowed at least the steam app it may be comparable lets see what the future holds
AND STILL ONLY THE 4K FIRE STICK PLAYS MMOST PLEX VIDEOS WHEN OUT OF MY HOME. AND ITS 49.99 OR 30 POUNDS ON PRIME DAY. I OWN A SHIELD AND A APPLE BOX TOO .
The 64 gb of apple tv does not have ethernet port?what the hell.Force people to buy the 128gb with ethernet port,if people preferred to connect with LAN cable.There's no option.
Nvidia shield es muy muy superior al Apple Tv ,ni siquiera son comparables ,The Shield es una bestia ,no existe comparación ni competencia, es por mucho el mejor aparato para Streaming
got both of these....just got the apple tv yesterday. And for the price, it ain't worth it. the remote is finicky and slippery, there are no ports ( hell they've even taken away ethernet ports!!!) codec support is lacking, performs just as well and the setup was easier for me on the shield. image and audio is better on the shield . But will say one thing, the apple doesn't have any app stutters....but that comes with a caveat, half of my apps on the shield are on removable storage so that could be the reason why.
@@macruz8503 had the of both with cheaper device on previous models....call them out dude, don't be a apologist for Apple. It's a dick move to consumers, let them know it's a dick move.
I love both devices and own them both! Shield is better if you want to download whatever you want! Stremio and Kodi and jellyfin etc! Apple is better if you want a better streaming experience. I think IPTV even looks better on the ATV. DTS and amazing gaming on the shield and Dolby vision and HDR+ on ATV so a fair trade off. So they are both great for different reasons. And yes I like the remote on the ATV way better. The shield remote is a pain in the ass. And batteries don’t last long.

@@michaelwright1602 honestly most of the people that take the time to put bad reviews are unhappy people so I stopped looking to much into them and giving things a try for myself since everyone else issues could be caused by different issues
I don't buy Apple because Iam not using Apple phone or any other products and I can't use all the features of the box , and I won't use Nvidia Shield because is really hard to download the simple applications , you have to do sideload Wich is so painful most of the times
th-cam.com/video/znQAM_soG90/w-d-xo.html Apple TV does do emulation via the same app you demonstrated it with the Nvidia Shield Pro :) I absolutely love the new ATV, upgraded from the 2017 first gen. model and the picture quality is just better, especially with low light content. No more crushed blacks!
You're right! I actually didn't know that when I recorded the video. however, this is still very complicated on the Apple TV. Maybe everything will be easier if Apple has to release alternative app stores if the EU dictates it. 😂
@@nelsonmendes7551 Okay, I don't have any experience with the shield but do not experience any problems regarding dark scenes, did with the 2017 ATV but not any more.

I have both as well, apples os is just undisputed but the shield is nice as well I use it for apks mostly now
Shields are still best in 2024.... We're on there too
I did for some time but the Apple TV 4k has become my favorite now
Hocam sizce hangisi daha iyi IPTV için?
Nvidia Shield
Shield for audio and Apple for video.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro is by far better for a while the users who are tech enthusiast and want to use full potential of this high grade technology
Which of the 2 has a better Dolby Atmos sound for streaming apps?
Nvidia Shield
@@michaelsmithdjsmitty4538 exactly why do you think this?
@Amp1tude Because when I use Kodi, the Atmos track isn't compressed. It's the same as Blu-ray
I own both and I’m actually returning the shield. Might go back to it on the next version of it but with all the issues I had with my shield and Plex. I’ll take the downsides of Apple for now till shield becomes a bit more polished. Audio was noticeably better on the pro. Looking forward to refinements of it
Issues with plex such as?
What Plex issues?
Plex is one of the biggest reasons people get the shield, never heard of anyone having issues with it
The first version of the Nvidia shield remote is exactly like the Apple remote that you hold in your hand.

Apple tv has limited apps to install whereas Nvidia tv has a lot of apps to install.
The design of the remote is one of the things I LOVE about the Shield. haha :) I was a little sad when I replaced it with my Sofabaton X1
😂
Top quality video mate
How do you configure the shield to play audio sources?

@@techtrendsfriends I apologize! your right you did go through that..
@@iimbt11 👍👍👍
I would seriously consider the Apple TV 4K if they improve the Netflix app.
Does apple tv remote have backlight display?Nvidia has backlight display remote.
The remote would be fine if they don’t make it such a pain the ass to take the back off. Just slide it off like every other remote. Like why they thought of that. And the batteries don’t last long at all.
@@colingordon0986 Back off? It is a chargable battery? Or do you speak about an old model?
I don't know what to decide between these two to play games, including ReDream and PPSSPP emulators and has better power.
İ think the Shield is the better choice. The Apple TV has the power but it is difficult when it comes to emulating because of the software.
Shield Pro without a doubt for gaming
I own both systems i love the apple for streaming, the picture quality is way better than my shield seems apple has a smarter ai upscale for content but the shield is amazing for gaming like its a beast in the gaming department the graphics are amazing for such a tiny machine although I’d wager if Apple opened up their system more and allowed at least the steam app it may be comparable lets see what the future holds
Buenas noches te corrijo en apple TV puedes usar Plex yo lo uso con mi biblioteca de películas usando mini pc como servidor
I like the remote it's fine stop being lazy. 😂
Nvidia is the one for me 👌🏼

It’s only 20 dollars more and way more GB to get that. Isn’t that big of a deal
Nope, I just use the apps on my phone, tablets & TV's
The crime here is comparing an apple tv to an advanced device like Nvidea Shield... who does that?
Nvidia shield es muy muy superior al Apple Tv ,ni siquiera son comparables ,The Shield es una bestia ,no existe comparación ni competencia, es por mucho el mejor aparato para Streaming
mejor en que? porque si aplee tv tiene el a15 de procesador tienes razon no hay comparación es 10 veces superior en potencia al nvidia shield

@nelsonmendes: The Apple TV does have an Ethernet port. You probably got the one without the port.
@@macruz8503 and why are they removing it from the cheaper model at all.... that is crap
