Yesterday i bought a new Nvidia Shield TV to replace my old Android TV box. It surprised me that almost all the APKs that i used in my old android TV, crashed as soon as i tried to open them in the shield.
They are all apks from south american tv channels that broadcast their live channels on them (i sideloaded them as they are not in the shield tv play store).
Is this normal? Im using the new Shield Experience 6.0 as i got the shield tv yesterday, so i had no chance to test the previous releases. All this apks worked on my Matricom Q Box amlogic android tv box, and i cant make them work in the Shield.
Is it something about the new Shield Experience update? Or the machine itself is not compatible with this small android apps in general?
Thank you!!!

Pros - Only i see is double RAM, 16gb, and a new CPU that I know nothing about.
Cons - Not sure how this will dance with my Logitech Harmony Hub that has all these gizmos marching in step.
Regrets - i was hoping Jeff would maybe allow integration of an OTA tuner and allow add-on storage and maybe DVR.
Anyway, I'm a fool so I signed up. Also signed up for a Channel Master Stream+. Luckily the Post office lost it and saved me $99.00 on that.
The Cube has the same quadcore ARM Cortex-A53 SoC as the Fire TV 3, so probably an Amlogic S912 derivative.
I pre-ordered it and then canceled it. Waste of money. Fire TV 1st Gen still relevant.
Hello everyone, my department is having a training session and we are using Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets. It is an interactive session and the presenters want to be able to project what they are doing to participants so they can follow and replicate easily what is being projected.
Can you advise if a mini usb to HDMI adapter will work to connect the Fire HD 8 to a projector? I looked on amazon at a few but none mention being able to work with this generation of the Amazon Fire.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I know on the 2nd gen Kindle Fire's had a micro HDMI out- my mom used to stream Bosch from it before I got her a firestick. The new ones only have usb. I just tested the 7th gen Fire HD8 with a usb-to-HDMI converter and it didn't work (I used this: https://www.amazon.com/CyberTech-Ad...=1530869148&sr=1-2&keywords=Micro+USB+to+HDMI)
Hello All,
has anyone got the TV controls for the new remote to work on the Firetv box Second generation? Weird that its not supported. I can pair it but cant control my TV? any work around?
You meant you can pair but can't control the Fire TV right? Its very sad that Fire TV 2 isnt compatible. Is it the Fire OS Version? Maybe we need Fire OS 6 for the new remote control to work?
Yes very sad! Theres no way to load fire os 6 on the fire tv 2?
I bought a fire tv stick 4K this week, because keeping the remote and selling the stick seemed to be cheaper.
I can confirm, that you can pair the new remote with the FTV 2 box.
In order to get the remote buttons for volume etc. for your TV set to work, you first have to configure the remote on an officially supported device. I did the complete installation procedure on the stick.
Obviously the infrared code of your TV is saved on the remote. When I connected it to the FTV2 box afterwards I could still control the TV (mute, vol +\-, power works).
Known issues:
- Voice search doesn’t work
- Remote loses connection when box goes into sleep mode - Box doesn’t wake up by pressing any button (Box is put into sleep mode when i power of the TV by pressing the fire remote power button)
- Remote loses connection from time to time.
I’m not sure wether the connection problems depend on my box (rooted, fw 5.2.6.6). Had similar issues with my Xbox-Controller some time ago, which I had to re-pair after every restart of the box (before it worked flawlessly with auto-by-connection for some weeks).
running the latest version of Plex server on my shield pro 2019. This is a new message from my shield. I also cant play live TV from remote clients, But they will play thru the HDMI on the shield
