As a TV box. Totally not worth it. Way too expensive. A chinese android TV box will do just fine and cost £30-50, the shield doesn't perform any better as a media player than cheap chinese boxes.
For playing Android games... it's fantastic. Nothing comes close to matching it's performance on android.

Depends... 4k and passes Dolby digital sound too, most Chinese boxes won't do that

As its so close, may be worth holding out for Prime Day as the original 16Gb got reduced to £99 on PD last year, so this may go down a bit more.

Love mine. Retro mania installed. 15000 games to choose from. Wish this was for the K1 tab I'd be all over it.

I have a shield tv too and would love to do this with it, just don't really know how to set it up. Is there a good guide for the whole process anywhere? Ideally a youtube video as it's so much easier being able to follow along in real time.
Also how does it work with regards to games, does retromania come with them? or can it get them for you, or do you have to have a existing games collection and it's just like a front end for your own games?
Feel free to pm if this is too off topic for this thread.

It means they register the IMEI / IMSI or Serial numbers with the police so if it gets stolen and found the police can return it to you.

Do they even make the K1 tab any more ? My screen shattered, I looked around and I can't find anyone who will replace it... so searched for a new K1 and they cost more now than when they were new. eBay selling them for silly money and calling them "rare"
If you see any K1 for sale at a reasonable price / or find a screen please please share :grin:

Yeah I rarely use this since I got a smart TV to be honest.... Sometimes put kodi on for ufc that Ive missed and they are never 4k, my amazon stick is as much use! Hoping the new android tv update will make it a bit more exciting

Personally I hated the K1 tablet, I was taken in by the hype but it was just horrible, sold it after owning for about 3 months. However, I love the Shield TV.
