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.

Anyone have RTÉ player working on the Shields? We have no broadcast TV any longer after ditching Sky and trying to figure out how we’ll watch the Toy Show on Friday night

No, I tried Chromecasting the match at the weekend from an iOS device (their Android app doesn't support Chromecast :rolleyes:), but a huge amount of the right and bottom of the image were cut off.

Just if anyone's interested I monitored my 2015 Sheild's power usage over the last 24 hours. Interesting the power usage during sleep/off - between 2 and 4 watts but a few spikes here and there. Fairly obvious the hours it's being watched by the kids

Daddy on the porn to hey ?

That does seem like a bargain for homeplugs, but I can't see any link to buy? Maybe they are not in stock?

If you already have a homeplug, but need more network ports at that location, it'll probably be cheaper to buy a basic network switch like this. That way you'll have lots of extra ports available to you.

Network switch worked a charm cheers
Everything hard wired now

Meh, it's just a mouse. If it was the Shield though I'd be hopping!

But I already own a Shield. And it's fooking class!!!

Ordered one on Friday but it seems that it hasn't been dispatched yet.

No money taken off me to pay for it either.

Has anyone experiencing the same issue?

Checked a few YouTube videos about setting it up. This one seems very thorough. Any thoughts?

I bought mine Friday and it arrived today 😊

Yeah, Amazon UK are terrible for this. I bought a cyber Monday special which they list as in stock and fulfilled by Amazon. It's not been dispatched yet either and has an expected delivery date of 11 December!

They can be a bitch for that alright .
If its in stock and sold by amazon get onto customer care and ask for it to be dispatched asap.Say its a birthday present or similar.

What content does the shield support in HDR? I've tried using netflix and amazon.
The resolution is set to 4K 59.940 (recommended), but my TV does not detect HDR?

Overall, I must say i'm delighted with the purchase.

I've played HDR content from netflix and amazon. Display changes slightly and shows the logo for HDR in the top right for a second or two.

The shield also supports dolby atmos.

stimpson

I’ve been able to play HDR content from Plex without issue @ 60hz.

Check that all the devices in the HDMI chain are HDMI 2.0a complaint. Check that you have reasonably new cables (High speed is required but most cables should be). Also check that the HDMI port on the TV is HDMI 2.0a (some tellies only have one port that will work)

Yeah, I haven't found a definite answer to that. Have been using Netflix and Amazon with my native TV app until I find a solution. I read somewhere that you had to drop frame rate to 30, but that didn't make a difference for me.

....but that I couldn't turn down. Bought.:o

Sure at a price like that, you couldn't let it go :P

Yea, it’s all good now. It’s all taking shape.

Fantastic purchase. Recommended to all.

Try turning off location services. When I have it enabled iPlayer and ITV disappear. I only need to enable it for the Eurosport player.

@moonboy, my iplayer disappears on the region change, so I guess I'll have to sideload the iPlayer app!

Ah right. Must be a recent thing. I always had iPlayer installed even with a language change on the 2015 model
