Does anybody else here use it? I bought an Nvidia Shield TV a few months back and love it. I use it for live TV, Plex, Google Cast, and streaming games from my PC to the living room. DVR features are coming soon once Android 7.0 comes out. There's a bunch of apps out there to add channels, like Pluto TV and Puppet, then you can also use Sling TV, Hulu, Netflix, and get cable channels by way of a network tuner such as an HDHomerun. What are your favorite apps? Development seems to be taking off well, we should see more good ones in the future. As of now, there are only 2 Android TV boxes out, the Nvidia Shield and Google Nexus Player, but more are coming down the pipe soon.
 
I like SlingTV, they have fs1 and fs2 in the sports add on. I am going to have to upgrade my sling services. I also watch a lot of redbull TV as well. They have some cool shows on there and some good racing action from the trophy trucks and super enduro and things like that.

I might have to pick a shield for our main living room, all my Roku boxes are at least 4 years old now.

I ended up dropping my cable bill a bunch moving so I'm not as ready to cut the cord as I would otherwise have been after WOW jacked me from 149 to 160 in a month up from I think 125 originally. But It is still something that interests me. Are there charges for the apps or how does that work when you don't have a cable account to log into? With the apps to watch things through the XBOX One I can't see anything that isn't part of my cable package.
 
Mi Box is out today, Walmart has them for $69 http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/ I think I'll grab one for the 3rd TV in the house, just need to put up my 5GHz WAP and I'll be good to go. Both of my Shields are on ethernet.
 
This weekends project will be setting up a streaming game server. I grabbed myself one of these display emulators https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EK05WTY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so my gaming PC will run headless and reside on a shelf with my NAS. With that I'll be running Nvidia Gamestream to my Shields, stream to my phone, or any other device on my network via Moonlight, plus I could also stream across the internet to my phone wherever I may be and play whatever. I'm also going to add the Ice Emulator to Steam https://scottrice.github.io/Ice/ so I can add my favorite console ROMs directly to Steam Big Picture. The games will appear in the Steam menu along with my PC games. Should be pretty good once it's all set up. Checkmate peasants.
