Hello all, I recently switched to the Nvidia shield tv pro from Firestick and I have no regrets.

I am with you Miki. I block everything google in my Formuler boxes, & on the Kinhank boxes I have. Deleted the fake named login I put in them as the Kinhank G1 forces a google login on initial setup, then disabled all of google garbage. Google hood winks everyone in to thinking your safe with them w…

I believe double tap home button on remote to see all apps running in the background.
