Have a Shield for nearly two years now. One of the best investments I've ever made

I got two, it has no peer and is the best overall systems I have. Period

this new one will probably be able to run dolphin emulator with no hiccups.. gamecube and wii games

i tried on the current shield and its hit or miss depending on the game

Guess it's time to upgrade

I have a Roku as well and it is stable as hell. The only problem with it is it's so limited in what it can do because it's pretty locked down.

If you set it up properly, the Shield is an all in one media player that can literally do everything. I have a local channel tuner, all cable/premium channels/PPVs, and access to my full media library that I've built over the years. Plus I can still do the standard Netflix/Hulu/other streaming services as well. It's a wildly versatile device for the price. It's worth the hiccups (which always occur with Android in general) you may see occasionally.

How do you go about getting the local channel tuner?

The Hauppauge 1595 WinTV dual HD tuner is plug and play with the shield. I bought mine from eBay used for around 60. You just plug it into one of the shield's USB ports and screw your cable in the back of it. If you have an OTA antenna hooked up it literally just works out of the box. Well worth it for me and always 100% crisp local HD for the major local channels (ABC, NBC, etc.) no matter how good/bad the weather is, unlike DirecTV.

Once again, I've only used this with the shield but others in the cut cable thread can verify.

Get a premiumize.me or real-debrid account, install Kodi, install either Seren or Gaia add-ons or both. Profit with your Shield.

GOAT media device

Only thing stopping me from getting one is the lack of continued support from Nvidia.

I copped The fire cube and it is garbage. Slower than my 1st Gen fire tv

I've been misinformed. The Shield Pro has been discontinued.
