@@ant0091 this would depend on what your needs are and how much you want to spend keep in mind many cheaper boxes will never get updates plus lack in widevine support so many mainstream media will not be in 4k example Disney, but the sheild is still a great box , but other to consider are the Buzztv xrs4900 ,ugoos ut8 pro , Forumler z11 pro and the zidoo z9x pro .

@@ant0091 avoid the dune it's very locked down like a apple TV box and a fire cube , it's a good box and certified for Netflix, but 3rd party apks are a no go
I looked at the Amazon cube but it’s only 10/100 Ethernet. That in my opinion is a joke and due to that alone stopped me. No idea what’s next as I’m on a fire stick 4k max and works well but want something more.
@David-ec2qp it all depends on budget , brands I recommend are Zidoo, minix , Ugoos , Buzztv, forumler, Dune , and the nvidia shield Best overall -nvidia shield Best highend - Zidoo uhd8000 Best value- Nokia streaming box 800 Best over kill - Buzztv powerstation 6 ( 16 gigs of ddr4 ram , m.2 storage 64bit , dual quad-core) Best for iptv - buzztv xrs 4900 or forumler z11 Also a great box I did not mention as I have not tested it is the Google TV streamer 4k I left out the apple TV and Amazon boxes due to the locked down eco system , which can be worked around but can be difficult I also highly recommend looking into a real-debrid account it's a great value for what it offers.
Thank you for a great video! We have a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019, but cannot find the Dolby Vision anywhere in the menus, which is very strange. Even the feature description/text on the original box for the Shield says Dolby Vision. Any idea why DV seems to be left out of the menus? I also have the latest 9.1.1 update like you have.
One more thing: You'll have to go to the Resolution section and select 4k59.940 DV and HDR10 Ready. To recap, Device Preferences>Display & Sounds>Resolution 4K59.940>Dolby Vision tab
You have to have a tv that is capable of the Dolby Vision standard. Probably why you do not see the option to turn it on. HDMI CEC should have seen it, if available, and the Shield will turn it on automatically.
@Triple_M But that's still the Shield just newer lol. I'm talking alternative to The Shield. I'm interested in the BuzzTV Prostation6. Are you going to get another copy since the first one did not work soon and review it?
I had to back up a few times to make sure I heard you right, you are on a 2017 Shield. Why not use your 2019 in the video? I see it says no roll back from the Hotfix but when my device was on Hotfix 9.0.0 I did flash the system and downgraded (roll back) it back to Android 9. I've never had another problem with my Shield Pro 2019 since.
I’m trying my best to have a reason to buy one of these but good god it’s hard. Either drop the price or release a new version and I’m sold but damn it’s hard.
@Triple_M very much I am a cord cutter and it gets used every day for iptv service , kodi using Real-debrid plus I have a huge DVD library on a Nas drive which I use plex for on the sheild , all of my electronics last a long time as I use a power conditioner unit . Great unit love , I did upgrade the remote but even the controller works great for the odd gaming night .
@Triple_M very strong zero issues but I also use on all my av equipment a power conditioner unit . I use my sheild alot as a cord cutter so it sees a ton of hours daily
NO other streaming box out there supports external USB 3 tv tuners or external storage. Apple Tv does NOT offer this and it is felt by the fanboys to be the best. I can do more with my 2019 Shield than anybody else can with their box. That is what makes it STILL the best tech device for power users out there. All other devices are just point, click, done. Btw, do a review on the latest version, not an old one.
TH-cam HDR uses AV1 codec which is not supported by shield. This is the only thing which I dislike about shield.othereise it's perfect for a home theater setup .
I am still on 8.2 Version no way would I update. Hate android 11 for kodi reasons. But nice to see update. No adds no locked sandbox runs so fast compared to any of my other boxes. 11 made it so slow.
I tried 9.1.1 debloated for a few months but then downgraded to 8.2.3 debloated never upgrading again runs so much better now! Standard launcher no adds! 👍
@Triple_M I have P2897 it works well I'm glad you are round to explain another of these things. I take it everywhere but I want two more one Nvida shield and one of the smaller ones I still have all of the ones I first bought is there anything I can do with them is there a market for them.
Nividia shield is junk. Was working then remote stopped working. Contacted customer support. No fix except to purchase new remote. So I did. Still will not connect. So pretty much worthless at this point. Side both my mini Nividia shields have both failed and will not power on. $400 dollars down the drain
Like my Vita, my Shield will always hold a special place in my heart!
True
Long time fan .a good how to GET UPDATE WITH.TECHFIGURE & another how to. Tech Nick
No update with mine yet.
Is this the best option for remote gaming from my PC to living room tv?
Is there anyway to download hot fix manually still never got the 2023 hot fix
Someone in an earlier comment was saying that you have to sign up for this fix. I'll have to look into that
Soo since you said don't get the Nvidia shield what's next which streaming box do you suggest???
Dune HD Homatics 4K Plus

@David-ec2qp it all depends on budget , brands I recommend are Zidoo, minix , Ugoos , Buzztv, forumler, Dune , and the nvidia shield
Best overall -nvidia shield
Best highend - Zidoo uhd8000
Best value- Nokia streaming box 800
Best over kill - Buzztv powerstation 6 ( 16 gigs of ddr4 ram , m.2 storage 64bit , dual quad-core)
Best for iptv - buzztv xrs 4900 or forumler z11
Also a great box I did not mention as I have not tested it is the Google TV streamer 4k
I left out the apple TV and Amazon boxes due to the locked down eco system , which can be worked around but can be difficult

Put soundsettings on automatic and it knows what your receiver is capable of etc
Go to Device Preferences and then Display and Sounds. There you'll see the Dolby Vision option.
