The SHIELD Android TV comes with wide connectivity like the aforementioned Gigabit Ethernet jack and even USB 3.0 ports. Connected to our 65" Samsung Ultra HDTV the HDMI 2.0 connection kicked in nicely at 2160p60 thus HDMI 2.0 kicks in right out of the box. The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV is up-to snuff with the latest technologies, considering you'll be using the unit likely in your living room and on your big screen telly, the Nvidia Shield includes 7.1 and 5.1 surround sound support with 4K Ultra HD video compatibility.

Once we connect the unit to a viable 5G WIFI network (Gigabit Ethernet also supported) the unit automatically tries to update itself rapidly towards Android v6, also known as the latest Android Marshmallow. The SHIELD Android TV is powered by a Nvidia Tegra X1 processor with a 256-core based Maxwell GPU equipped with 3GB RAM all running Google’s Android operating system. Nvidia submitted their smaller 16GB version of the Nvidia Shield set-top console, the unit is priced at 200 USD/EURO, the 500GB model adds another 100 bucks to that pricing. Both units come with that nice Nvidia controller, yet Nvidia currently includes a free remote, which I can already tell you, is probably the best media remote we have tested to date. Nvidia has two models available in the market, the 'regular' version with 16GB internal storage, and also a 500 GB model.

The fix has been mentioned in the NVIDIA Shield Experience Upgrade 8.2.2 release notes as well. Please make sure your output mode is set to auto and try again. The issue has been addressed on 8.2.2 to sync with how prime videos is detecting surround support now. Nevertheless, the good news is that the bug was on NVIDIA’s side and they were kind enough to quickly address it with the latest update released on January 19. The content instead plays in the regular 2-channel stereo mode and thus the glorious 5.1 surround audio is missed. There have also been quite a few complaints about the Amazon Prime video app not playing 5.1 supporting 4K content in the 5.1 surround mode. The above isn’t the only issue that has been fixed. Good riddance! Hence, if you are one of the users still facing this issue, then be sure to update your Kodi app to the latest version.Īmazon Prime 5.1 surround audio in 4K videos issue Kodi has fixed this issue in Kodi 19 RC1.

Several users had recently taken to the forums saying that exiting the Kodi app whilst music is being played through the app, the audio gets slow and garbled.
