Child Item

2017 Nvidia Shield

SachaJ

Not much of a discount at £20 (Was £189.99, now £169.99) but it's the first time I've seen the new model reduced.

I'm on the lookout for a 3rd one but think I'll hang on and see what happens on Amazon Prime Day this week.

£159.99. I went for the one with the controller.

Is the controller just for gaming as in different function to remote?

Which one would you recommend bk?

If you can stretch, I'd recommend the Elite * Keep an eye out on the Black Friday sales, they get reduced a lot, I picked up my Elite for £130.

* The Elite and Ultimate do fundamentally the same thing, but the Elite remote is much nicer in the hand. Better built, buttons laid out more sensibly and it is heavier, which makes it feel better in hand. Also the extra smart buttons are handy if you have Hue smart lights, you can turn off the lights, while watching a movie, etc.

i stopped using parcel motel because of the delays, my local lockers were full for over a week at christmas time, parcel wizard are a much quicker and generally better company to deal with, delivered to wherever you want also, home or work

Yeah, it's truly the best gadget I've bought, the Shield is second. I have the Harmony One but I now see there's a newer Elite which adds buttons to control lights and sockets which is what I'd be buying if I was buying now.

Yes, I've both a Harmony Ultimate and a Harmony Elite and I'm using them it almost the exactly the same way as The high horse brigade.

Also work great with Ghome.

"Hey Google, turn on Shield TV" has harmony switch my TV and AV on and switch the input to the Shield TV.

Though a warning Patww, it takes a bit of effort to get the Harmony setup, it requires some patience.

Patww79 it works as intended, but it definitely requires some setting up and configuration. It doesn't just work out of the box, depending on your setup it may take a few hours to get right.

It is great once setup, but it needs a bit of effort to get right.

Also be aware that IR kind of sucks (as in general, not specific to Harmony) and can cause issues from time to time.

I edited my post, it uses IR for the TV, the hub even comes with little IR blasters that allow you hide the hub away. it will even change the source on the TV from another room using WIFI to the hub :cool:

According to HUKD, amazon warehouse is doing 20% off open box from midnight tonight. Means the “used, very good” Shields will be around £140.

Is the warehouse stuff good to buy?

It will use IR for the TV. The Shield uses bluetooth, wifi is so google assistant can talk to it

Keep an eye on the sales, they do drop in price every so often

OK Google turn on the shield (I've added this as a shortcut instead of saying ask Harmony turn on the shield). The Tv turns on, changes to HDMI 1, the Shield turns on, the surround reciever turns on and sets itself to the Shield input. The remote then works for the Shield with the volume buttons controlling the receiver

Ok Google ask Harmony turn on Sky News and it changes the input on my reciever to my Amiko alien 2 Sat box and then after a few seconds changes to Sky News

The shield is on hdmi 2 and the normal TV (horizon box) is on hdmi 1, so if I want to pull up YouTube or use Assistant or something I have to switch hdmi sources on the TV first. Presumably with a proper Sony Android smart TV it's all there all the time even if you're watching TV instead of two totally separate devices.

Get a Logitech Harmony remote, best investment I've ever made. Works with every device * and Google Assistant

*get the ultimate one with a hub which adds Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
