Issues with Shield TV and Samsung TV un46c6300 - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I bought a Shield TV Pro (2015), and connected it to my 2011 vintage Samsung TV un46c6300. The problem is that my TV becomes unresponsive to any commands from the remote and the buttons on TV, even if I power off the Shield. The only way to get the TV respond is to switch off the power to the TV and the shield. Power cycling the TV without powering off the Shield will prevent TV from turning on. Any suggestions? HDMI cables are from monoprice from around 2011-2012

Did you try the shield on a different TV to see if it works

No, I will try to find access to another TV to test it.

Have you tried toggling the cec then powering off the shield then back on and then turn the cec back on?

Few questions please before I buy the shield tv thanks.

I own a shield tablet and is it possible to have the new geforce experience on it?. Also if I was to buy the shield tv would it be possible to hook it to my laptop and use the laptop screen to play games as opposed to hooking up to the TV please?
I don't know about the Shield Tablet, but the Shield TV's only video output is HDMI. So it would only work if your laptop has an HDMI input or some input that can be converted to work with HMDI.

Thanks and my guess is most laptops don't have hdmi input for this to work?

How can I shut off my TV when I put my Shield to sleep?

In the settings on my Shield I have the option turned on (Power Control- CEC TV On), but it doesn't work! Is there a setting on the actual TV as well that I need to turn on, or is dependent on the HDMI cable? Thanks in advance for your help.
On my shield tv I have both options turned on
(turn off and turn on tv via HDMI CEC)
,and as soon as i put the shield tv to sleep the the tv turns off.
I'm just using some generic HDMI cables. The Amazon basics brand.

Maybe it's just my TV, sometimes it'll work, sometimes it doesn't. It'll work more-so for turning the TV off.

[Help] 2017 Nvidia Shield 720P Only & No HDCP

My 2017 shield is only outputting 720P.I have tried different HDMI cables and a different TV.Before it was working on my 1080p TV until I took it to a diffenet house and it got stuck on 720p.
I have another shield in the house which works at 4k/1080p which means it's not a cable or a tv issue.
I can boot into fastboot but the text is cut off and zoomed in.Also the boot Nvidia logo has a black sqaure around it on the 4k tv.
I'm only trying to achieve 1080P. It was working perfectly fine before.
Are you plugged directly into the TV or a receiver?
If the later try resetting the receiver. If the former are you plugged into the TV's ARC input? It might have something to do with that Try a different HDMI input or try turning off ARC/CEC (or on). You might need to either reset the TV or the Shield, or both. HDCP can be a pain in the ass.

Tv remote turns on 2015 Nvidia shield. Auto switches hdmi ports and other things.

I just got this a week ago for $50 with a controller so i figured why not. Anyways, when i turn the tv on with my regular remote, the shield turns on and automatically goes to the HDMI port the shield is on and not the TV which its supposed to do. I don't want the shield to turn on and switch to the other HDMI port. My TV is a visio 70" last years model.
Right now i just keep it unplugged till i figure this out
