I live in the caribbean and my shields connects to US Servers, google play store prices are in $US dollars, but! the nvidia games store, where you buy the games to play via stream and buy the monthly subscription, it's in € EUROS!!. Where do i change the location of the console? I have tryed everything, system restore, rechecked my google account location, and the nvidia hub still stuck in €. Any idea anyone??

I'm wondering if I order it can I use the hdmi output to put it on my tv. If I order the mobile version I imagine it won't let me sign on with my laptop since that subscription costs more than twice as much.
How do you get the app to pick up with my xbox one. I did it before but I bought the license in order to get more than just 30 mons of streaming. Now that I bought the license I can't even connect to my xbox arty all anymore. How do I very it to stream again, or did I make a mistake buying this app.
Hi all,
Since the price of the Nexus player has dropped considerably, I'm thinking I may get one + a HD Homerun prime for my father for Christmas, but I have a few questions. I already have a Nvidia Shield TV, so I know how Android TV works and it's limitations. The only thing I haven't done is use the live TV apps for watching TV on it.
Is watching TV on it using a HD Homerun prime pretty painless once configured? I should note that we live in Oregon and the cable provider here is Comcast. In terms of channels, he really doesn't watch much (mostly Fox News, ESPN, HBO, and local channels). The big one that is a MUST though is Pac-12 network - my sister plays softball for the University of Washington and Pac-12 network is necessary to watch all the games we can't make it to. My understanding is that DRM channels won't work with the live TV app - is there any other way to view them on the device? I should also note that DVR functionality isn't a must have feature if it's a pain to get it working.
I'm not worried about it being too tech heavy for my dad to use - he's already got Ethernet running throughout the house (this device would be connected via Ethernet) and has done OTA TV before using Windows Media Center & my Xbox 360. However, if it isn't more seamless to browse and watch TV on than his cablebox, I'm not sure he'll actually want to make the change.
So I just ordered a couple Nexus Players and after searching around Google I am not able to see how to get Live TV on the unit without getting the HDHomeRun gadget. I'd be looking to get signal from an OTA Antenna or cable. Right now I have a HTPC with a Ceton PCI tuner. I watch cable TV through my HTPC and WMC, and my OTA Antenna sits in the box at the moment since it really serves no purpose as long as I have cable. I plan to hook up both Nexus Players via ethernet cable to the home network. What are my options to get TV to them? Again, either cable or OTA Antenna signal. Thanks!
Kodi w/ ServerWMC
Yes kodi/serverwmc is one way but you will need to keep your htpc around and turned on.
HDHomerun is the other way that I know works, as that's what I use.
The Tablo network DVR. It is similar to the way the Silicon Dust tuners work but it is a complete DVR, except for the USB hard drive that you need to add. EPG is optional and you can do manual recordings without it if you wish to save on costs. If you prefer to have EPG service it is available for either: lifetime (unlike Tivo it is account based instead device based, you only pay once no matter how many you own); yearly or monthly. Lifetime is $150, yearly is $50, and monthly is $5. There is a 30 Day free trial included when you first activate the Tablo that expires if no subscription is made.
Storage is done by user supplied USB hard drive. The currently supported maximum HDD capacity is 5TB. Flash drives are not compatible. You can use spare desktop and laptop HDDs with certain USB hard drive enclosures, Sayba and Sabrent are known to be compatible. Which ever HDD you go with make sure to go to its maker's website and download whatever tools it has for your drive. Make sure whatever sleep or power down modes are disabled as they can cause disconnects. A new HDD being installed will be formatted causing the loss of all existing data. You can not upload content onto the Tablo to use as a NAS.
All TV, live or recorded is transcoded to H.264 for video and AAC stereo/prologic for sound to support the largest number of devices. Android TV devices are the strongest for Tablo playback on a TV Chromecast and Roku tend to be the weakest in terms of load up times and remote response. Because of the transcoding overhead it can take 6-15 seconds to tune into a new channel depending if you have Enable Fast Live TV Startup enabled or not.
Local streaming is supported out of the box. Out of home streaming requires EPG subscription.

That was one of the biggest reasons I ended up selling my Tablo. It takes away from the trigger finger surfing experience.
I ended up getting a HDhomerun Extend and love the idea of a network tuner. I love the quick tuning times in the Google Live Channels app. However, I wish it was more stable. I may have to give InstaTV a try and see if it works better. I am really hoping Silicondust gets their act together with their HDHomerun DVR system and improve the stability of their Android TV app.
I've spent the last day or so researching android tv boxes, and decided that I'm probably going to splash out a little more than I originally budgeted for and go for a shield tv box. only it's starting to become clear that watching channel 4 on demand content in full screen on my tv is STILL going to be a giant pain in the arse.
I've used the search function and found a few mentions about this, but nothing conclusive. so what I'd like to know is, for the uk on demand services that aren't available for android tv, which ones do work when you sideload them from either the google play store or the amazon app store?
specific to all 4 (formerly 4od), I've heard that it doesn't work on rooted devices, when you sideload it from the amazon store it's stuck in portrait, and it only works over wifi or mobile data.
could I sideload it from the play store, then on a rooted shield tv, could I install xposed framework and use modules to hide root from the all 4 app and also make the app think that it's running on a tablet or phone?
alternatively, can I convince my girlfriend to just stop watching bloody hollyoaks, because anything worth watching on all 4 gets uploaded to other streaming sites anyway?
Honestly, mine is rooted and All4 still runs, it's just crap. Better to cast from a laptop or phone.
