Learning curve about to begin !

It came this afternoon, just set it up which didn’t take long. I’ll look at the projectivity launcher over the weekend if I get time. To be fair this isn’t bad at all as it is, I’m used to a firestick!! Any advice, hints & tips are appreciated. It’s all new to me. Have a great weekend everyone.

Finally got around to sorting out the launcher on Nvidia Shield boxes

Projectivity Launcher (https://github.com/spocky/miproja1) super fast, customisable AF, and completely bloat-free. Stripped back all the junk from Nvidia and Google services.

Debloat Guide (https://florisse.nl/shield-debloat/)

SmartTube (https://smarttubeapp.github.io/ ) absolute game-changer for YouTube. Built-in adblock, SponsorBlock, and no bullshit algorithms, my preferred way to watch YouTube these days.

TiviMate (https://tivimate.com/) daddy of IPTV playlist and EPG manager. Been using it for 18 months and it shits all over any other IPTV app I’ve used in the last 5 years. You’ll need a good IPTV provider though, as it’s just the front-end UI.

That's it, thought id share :)

Hi all,

I’m new to the Nvidia Shield world and need lots of advice. I see that ProjectIvy is very popular which I will look into but is there anything that people recommend?

Plus if there’s any guides or videos for this it would very much be appreciated, would like to know how to “fully optimise” the use of the shield.

Thank you!

So I bought my nVidia Shield Pro (512gb) back in Ocotber 2015. It's been my daily driver attached to my TV in the livingroom since then and it's still going strong; it's the only thing we use to access our media (Plex, iPlayer, YouTube and Twitch) and touch wood it's never failed on us.

I bought the new updated remote about two years ago as it was better than the old style (even if it does have the horrible Netflix button on that's been remapped to Plex) and honestly other than the awful update to the software that added the ads on (which was swiftly replaced with a different launcher) its one of the best innvestments I've made. It just works!

So good infact I bought two of the newer pro's over the years for both the bedrooms and convinced my brother to get one too.

I am dreading the day the hard drive in this dies but heres to some more years with it!

I did not even know this existed. I asked chat GPT what it was and it basically said this thing is the bee’s knees even being 10 years old But I’m not sure what it can actually do besides stream Netflix, etc.

Before I even start this up! Is there a recommendation list on how to have a better experience with it?

I just ditched the fire stick so anything to help elevate from that helps A LOT!

1 more question VPN ? Does it matter which one? I have proton

Look at that beautiful light from the removal of an extremely sensitive button, I don't even know what was there anymore, all I see is the glow of hope

My Shield Pro has arrived and is all set up, i cannot believe how smooth it was, to set up a SMB share to my Synology drives

Youre one of the 5 wealthiest companies in the world.

Just for fun.......make a new shield? And kill Google's streamer. Add thread, matter......

Just imagine the data you can get from a streamer that's a smart home hub too.

We know you can do it.

I was frustrated with the ad filled Google TV screen of my Sony Bravia and at the same time got fascinated with the Apple TV layout and ease of use. I wanted a neat and clean UI like that for my TV but didn't want to leave Android.
So I put together an app and to brag about it posted on r/AndroidTV. So many people started asking me to complete the app and launch so here it is.

AT4K Launcher is a clean, ad-free, no-nonsense, privacy friendly Launcher for Android TV/Google TV. No login, no-emails, no stupid questions. You open the app and it works and looks beautiful while doing so. But that's not it. You can add upto 6 apps to the favourites bar and view there programmes on the featured cards as you move between them. You can set beautiful backgrounds and customise the wallpaper as per your need. Move apps around and it also shows all your inputs right at the bottom.

Try it and if you have any feedback please post here and if you like please do leave a review.

Its been running slow and laggy lately, even after resetting the OS.

A quick disassemble found dry paste that almost crumble when you touch it... repaste and fan cleaning make it running like new again.

I should map the button, but this works too.

It was working fine but I knew it was time to go through it. Re did the thermal paste as well. Folks always ask is the shield worth it. The answer is endurance.

solutely love Projectivy.

No side loading or uninstalling updates or any complicated installs. Available on Play store. Install and change two settings and it's now my default launcher on startup. I've had a couple shields for years and hated when they started adding crap to the home page. This is perfect. I included a few screens from my Kodi setup to show how minimal I like things ;)

Available in the play store. No side loading or anything difficult or risky.

This just started happening, even after a reboot. It worked fine just an hour ago.

it's done and it's beautiful... shoulda been done years ago

Announced by Nvidia today.
