Hello there!!!
Is any way to connect the MiBox controller to Shield Tv, I need it to connect because of my father who is an elderly man does not want to use the new controller...
Any thoughts about how to do it? Also, I try it but in the shield does not appear, but if I try to connect a speaker it appears.

Anybody have any luck with connecting their xbox remotes? Via bluetooth or USB?
Ive connected it but it doesnt work so far, kind a of a let down.
Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm an xbox dude so thats why i opened this thread.
The xbox remotes use infrared so no dice there. There has been muliple posts and videos on youtube showing how to connect a wireless controller but that requires a donagle

Do you mean the infrared media remote? Or the xbox 360 game controllers?
sucks for 360 owners I have both and ps3 remotes work fine
Remote is a no go, wired controls OK and wireless with dongle is ok

Back when halo came out for the pc I went out and bought a usb dongle to use a wireless xbox 360 controller on my pc. Now I can plug that dongle into my a500 and use a xbox controller wirelessly.
Thank you

Can I pair my N7 and PS3 controller via my laptop? As in, can i connect my tablet and ps3 controller to my laptop and somehow pair them through my laptop? I dont have the cable that just hooks both of them up directly.
You're Welcome...
I use this all the time with emulators. Works great.

Sixaxis has a pairing tool I found researching the app. It let me pair my bluetooth ps3 threw my laptop. Sixaxispairingtool look it up (;

yep, what he said, use the sixaxis app from the play store.
here's a quick one on how it works:
you need to set the n7's bluetooth mac address as the master address in the controller, then you can just press start in the app, switch on the controller and it will pair.
on any device with usb host capabilities the updating of the mac address can be done from the device itself by first connecting the controller with a mini-usb to usb cable and a usb otg cable.
oh and by the way, this is the nexus 10 section, not the nexus 7, reported.
I am not sure it could be connected via using laptop but yes connection between N7 and PS3 controller is possible. You will have to require cable to do so. Watch the video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhcHTHo2hEQ which show you how to connect N7 and PS3 controller each other.
So I have HDMI-CEC turned on so I can turn on my Shield and have the TV turn on and change to the HDMI setting. Unfortunately, I just realized that waking my laptop from sleep also turns on my Shield TV. My laptop is not connected to my Shield via Bluetooth or anything. The Shield is connected via Ethernet cable and my laptop is connected via Wi-Fi.
Anyone know of a way to block my laptop from connecting/contacting the Shield and waking it up?

Thanks guys!
EDIT: Not sure if it's contacting it via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi/Internet.
I'm about to buy a 2017 Shield TV (NO PRO). I want to plug in an external 3.0 usb hard drive to it, where I store all my movies and TV series, to enjoy Plex server installed in the Shield.
My questions are:
1. Will the external hard drive be automatically recognized by the network too, like if it becomes some sort of network hard drive? In other words, will I be able to access to the hard drive from my iMac through the network in order to transfer other movies while it is still plugged into the Shield?
2. I will connect the Shield to my main TV through a regular HDMI cable. Since I have another TV with DLNA in another room, can I stream from the Shield to this other TV?
Sorry for the dumb questions, I really am a newbie here... Thanks in advance!
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?
