Nvidia shield tv without Google account

Hello all,

I recently switched to the Nvidia shield tv pro from Firestick and I have no regrets. I will eventually be switching other tvs to Nvidia as time goes by and money allows but i dont want every tv to have access to my account.

My question is whether I have to have a google account associated with the device or can I delete it after the set up and still have access to all the apps? I dont want to test my Nvidia as i already have it set up the way i like.

My main use is Kodi, Youtube and the TV/movie apps (Max, Amazon, etc). I don’t really play games or anything else. I know I got a high end device and I’m ok with that. I may use it more in the future and i wont have to upgrade to a devive for more memory etc.

Thanks in advance.
JM
