For various reasons I have lost patience with Firesticks and I am thinking of upgrading to a Nividia Shield. Posts on this site show that many folk are happy with this system (and other folk have different preferences - fair enough) but before I decide I would like to now if there are any aspects of…

I got mine yesterday and learning. Yesterday on the Home Screen it had the red circle in the left “APPS”. Turned Shield and TV off before bed, woke up to find it gone. Just used to having it in there I guess

Nope, don’t spend the extra money if you don’t need to. I love my shield, but I got it for different reasons. I have a 4K TV and a full surround sound system with ceiling speakers and all. I really needed a device that could passthrough TrueHD audio to my AVR. The firestick wouldn’t allow me to do t…

Thanks; I appreciate the honest feedback. I hope to upgrade my TV to 4k at some point, and I, a year ago, I just added a sound bar to my existing TV, so I’m not in a hurry as you can see to update, oh and $$$$ is a important thing too. I guess I’m sort of just a steamer and wanting the best hardware…

Good morning J. You mentioned that Firefox isn’t made for tv. That confuses me as there are apks for Fire TV, Fire OS and Android. So I have the Mecool KM2 and firestick, does that mean I can’t load Firefox onto either of those and use it on my TV? I’m especially trying to get a Silk equivalent on t…

No matter what device you are using to access the Google Play store, the app is only going to show up in the app store if the developer has marked your specific device as…

Ya I’m not concerned about any app stores as I can’t even get things like airy or pluto anyway, so I sideload almost everything. My main focus is finding a good browser that I can load on the KM2 and get functionality like Silk provides on the firestick. So far all have failed, and I mean ALL, so so…

Me too! I have yet to run into that issue.

I guess a Ford Focus will get you to where you want, but a Maserati will get there faster with style! lol

Ya unfortunately a Ford Focus is all that is available. So I walk.

well i dont know bout faster thats a driver thing with style ok got me there

LOL! Yeah, I drive a dented 2012 Mitz Outlander, but it runs flawlessly and it’s paid for. I bought it new in 2013 and have less than 24K miles on it (retired). To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth having. Uber would probably be cheaper on the average! if I needed a vehicle to travel I could rent …
