Oat23 wrote: » I wasn't sure about getting one either back in January as I already had a Mi Box but it was so worth the upgrade. It just got a native ITV Hub app a few days ago as well (you need a DNS service to watch it from Ireland though). Fantastic for retro gaming (RetroArch app) as well as all your TV needs. edit: I see I have already commented on this thread months ago saying almost exactly the same thing

Beware. Had to get a refund from Amazon because the Shield never turned up, never got any kind of notification from the seller and the seller wouldn't reply to any emails. Sometime when it's too good to be true, it's not true.
