It was a pretty long run. My
Nvidia Shield (tube) has been serving my Netflix, local IPTV, Prime, and all my streaming requirements. Jay and I got the old device in 2020 after getting a new television during COVID restrictions. We got back on one of the last flights out of Malaysia. So some delivery guy got the box with the widescreen to the outside of our doorway, knocked on the door, and ran towards the elevator. My little device was been starting to show its age although it is far more capable than the software built into most TVs.
Lots of things have been attached to my televisions over the years. I had an HD TV satellite receiver nearly twenty years ago.
I started to set up the replacement streamer today. It fits right into the Google Home environment in the apartment. The software has recently been updated to use Gemini AI. It has prompted me to do some online research and rethink some of our viewing habits. I set up most of the software today but will completely replace the Shield tomorrow.
