Last night, it was dark and we were watching TV with the Nvidia Shield TV. I reached over to grab the Panasonic TV remote to turn up the volume. While fumbling to grab the remote in the dark, the Nvidia Shield TV started acting all weird like a poltergeist was navigating it!
At first, we thought that our Nvidia Shield TV was haunted! But, it turns out that we can use the 4-Way Directional Pad on our Panasonic TV remote to navigate the Nvidia Shield TV...who knew?!
Not sure how this works because our Nvidia Shield TV is hidden behind an entertainment center, so I doubt the Shield TV can read the IR signals coming from the remote. Plus, I don't think it even has an IR sensor.
It's called HDMI CEC control.
It passes the commands through the HDMI cable to the shield.
There is an option to enable / disable it on the shield in the HDMI settings.
The nice thing about it being enabled is that turning on the shield can automatically turn on the TV and switch to the correct input AND turning off the TV can automatically turn off the shield.

The remote control for the shield and controller works by Bluetooth.

I think my CEC only goes one way:
Panasonic TH58PE75U> Shield TV
And not:
Shield TV > Panasonic TH58PE75U
My TV is probably really old that's why
Is it possible to use the Nvidia shield TV as a brain for Google daydream and just stream or wire that to another phone for the screen and gyro stuff?
Actually by that proxy I do wonder how they plan to make YouTube 360 work on the Shield TV?
Here are my devices:
1. Vizio 4k V series TV (no BT only IR and WiFi)
2. Vizio Soundbar (SB4020E-AO; IR)
3. Playstation 4
4. Nvidia Shield 2017
I'd like to control everything with a remote. I understand I could go the Harmony route but was wondering if there was a solution by purchasing an older tablet with a IR blaster in which I could download a Universal TV remote app. Controlling the PS4 with a remote is not a big deal as I only use the PS4 for gaming so when using it I'm going to grab the DS4 controller anyway.
This would provide a large remote that is well lite in a dark environment and would allow me to controll all the devices, give me a BT keyboard for kodi searching, perform Chrome casting on the Nvidia Shield etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to:
1. What would be the best tablet with an IR blaster to purchase (would prefer a 8" sized screen)
2. What would be the best app to use to control the TV, soundbar and Nvidia Shield.
Thanks!
is it possible to emulate NVidia shield tv ROM in VMWARE??
want to try out the upscaling feature
I too would like to know if anyone has managed to emulate the NVidia shield.
Alright so I got a smart hisense android tv but I don't use the smart part of it because it's got terrible hardware but I got a good deal on the TV. Anyway I have a good android tv box that I have plugged into the tv and I use it for everything. The remote the android tv box came with works with the hisense tv for volume but I'm looking for an alternate remote that includes a keyboard and air mouse functions. I've tried [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XMF5YN1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and I can't get this to copy the hisense tv IR signal for volume, I found 2 different guides that supposedly work on this remote to copy signals for buttons and it just doesnt work.
Like the title states I'm looking for a remote for android tv boxes and it need air mouse and it has to work with a smart tv volume. I did verify the smart hisense tv is controlled by an ir blaster on the front
