Hi
I have new Nvidia Shield Tv Device. I was problems the Nvidia do not screen nothing on old Philips TV. New firmware solved this problem. I did factory reset on Nvidia Shield before load new firmware on TV. When I power on Shield it start boot, after I setting language and Shield want to check updates. It stop on this point with message on screen Unable to check for updates, check your internet connection and try again. Internet connection is OK because I see Shield on network, can ping. I connect with ethernet and wifi. Have somebody how can I solve thist problem. Thanks

Nvidia shield and Google daydream?

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?

Nvidia shield as Plex server and player at the same time

My current setup is an old WD TV box hard wired to my home network with a WD My cloud (first gen) Nas drive (2tb) with a 5tb USB 3 drive chained to it. The WD TV is in my living room/theater attached to my Enclave wireless surround sound system which feeds my Optoma 1080p short through projector. I just purchased the Plex pass lifetime as it was on sale for $75 and I am going to be adding a Home run and antenna to try and get some local Spanish TV going here in Jardín Colombia.
Does the Shield work well as both a server and player at the same time? It will only be used to stream to one device at a time.
I also am looking at maybe a dedicated Plex server NAS and then buying a Android box, but that seems like a much higher cost then buying the shield if it can server as both the server and player and access my My cloud just fine over cat cable.
Thanks for any guidance!.

any difference between the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition and the NVIDIA Shield TV which is currently on sale at "A" for $139.99?
Don't think I will be doing any gaming... I just want to be able to access my local NAS which is filled with Music, TV and Movies and play them back through the Plex GUI to my theater.

How to get Steam Controller working?

I have the 2017 16GB version. I can (obviously) use my Steam Controller while using SteamLink, but not under Geforce Now/ Gamestream. USB VirtuHere (or whatever it is called, and Moonlight don't support the Steam Controller either.
How can I get my Steam Controller to be supported natively?

Bump for the same issue. New to Nvidia Shield for TV and Steam for that matter. Downloaded a game but the supplied Nvidia controller can't do anything to make the game start. I exited the Steam game to go back to the Nvidia home screen, multiple steps taken to finally get back to Steam only to be forced to download the game again (a different problem I need to resolve) only to have the controller not be able to do anything in the game yet again. Steam is not going to get used if it's going to be this hard to use EVERY time.
