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.

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.

Ah I suppose not the right choice of words, just that it may take a while to get since they're super busy at the moment! Still waiting on my google mini! ...very impatient I am!

The Hub is a fantastic bit of kit.

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.

You've just sold me...

Which one would you recommend bk?

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

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

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.

PM can be busy at times, but generally they are a day or more ahead of PW (from my experience). I ordered a mini on Friday, and had it in my hands from PM last night.

Controllers has all the same fuctions as remote.
Even if you dont game its handy to have.
Only a tenner extra ?

Don't get this without the controller, it's one of the best controllers i used and it's very comfortable, new model of course not no the rubbish brick one

One benefit of the game controller on the new one is that you can plug your headphones in and listen through them. I believe you could do that with the TV remote on the original.

Invincible

Did ye use your own number when ordering or Parcel Wizard's?

Yup, that's usual for me if there's no hiccups. Overnight delivery to the North, down to Dublin by early/mid arvo, and in my locker that night.

No. The remote has no option for the on-screen mouse pointer while with the controller you can use the onscreen mouse via the analogue stick. I was a little surprised by this. Would be nice if you could use the remote too. Other than that it's a great bit of kit.

I've just ordered now, I used my own number. I had to adjust my PW address, as they could not verify the normal format. I just put the my PW address line 1 and 2 into the company name ( PW ID)
I've to wait 1-2 days for my order to be processed.
