I have a Shield and my Roku Ultra is way better. You have to format your external hard drive so the Shield will see it then your computer won't be able to use it. The Shield is missing a lot of streaming apps while the Roku gets all the apps first.. The Roku remote will control your TV so you only need one remote. My Shield is collecting dust and the Roku Ultra was on sale for half the sale price of the Shield.
What's the big deal over the fire tv that makes it worth the extra $100?
The Roku is trash. What exactly can't you run on Nvidia Shield? I haven't run into any app it couldn't yet. And how is formatting a drive to extend the space a bad thing? And why can't you're Nvidia be seen by your computer or vice versa? I see mine. Stream from my computer and can pull things from my Nvidia as well.
They don't have the Direct TV Now or Xfinity Streaming apps. Formatting is not extending space. The Shield is an Android device. I can't drop a movie on my USB drive from my laptop and pop it in my Shield. The drive has to be formatted by the Shield and Windows can't use an Android formatted drive.

NVidia you can sideload apps like Mobdro and HD Cinema as well as use Kodi, Roku can't.
Roku can't touch NVidia for gaming, between emulators and GeForce Now.
I turned on CEC on my TV, Shield and Audio Reciver and my shield remote control the power of all 3 and the audio, which is all I need it to do.
Install Ext2Fsd on your Windows PC and you can read the external drive from Nvidia Shield. Shield should also be able to read external drives formatted as FAT32, NTFS, ExFat and HFS+.
Kodi is the service that has temporary stream stations right?
Nice plug for "read from" the USB but no write since writing on ext2/3 within Windows has always been experimental.
This discussion sounds like the Head-fis saying Beats Headphones is "trash, you're paying too much for trash",
then they talk about how you need a $1200 pair of cans for your home setup. Oh no home setup? Then you should
also buy the $300 DAC amplifier so the $1200 cans sound as good as the Beats from your smartphone.
Evaluate and see if what you want + need is covered, and I bet Roku would do that for most folks.

Doesn't sound like it's worth....
A hundred dollars

Sorry bruh, but this isn't true at all. I took my external drive straight from my PC and my Shield recognized it and all of the videos with no problem and no formatting at all. I also go back and forth between my PC and my Shield all the time with zero issues. I've done this with external drives and SD cards through adapters.
The Shield was the only device I could find that could play 4k rips with the HDR and Atmos/DTS-X intact.
Also, my A/V receiver's remote controls the Shield so I don't need the Shield's remote.
Bro, I know what I'm talking about.
- Removable Storage: This is how you’re probably used to USB drives working with your computers and other devices. When mounted this way, the content on the drive is available to use for both Plex and other apps, but you cannot install Android apps on the drive.
- Internal Storage: This option allows you to basically replace the internal storage and instead use the attached USB drive for installing apps. Choosing this option will format the drive and you will lose any existing data on it! At that point, the drive can only be used with the NVIDIA SHIELD and will not be usable with other devices unless you format it again.

Only if you game on it. But if you already have a PS4 or Xbox One for gaming and looking for streaming Roku is the best for that. It has way more apps.

Kodi is too unstable for wifee to be fucking with.

no......you dont.
its actually pathetic whats considered ‘tech savvy’ nowadays.
makes it too easy for people like you to come in with a bullhorn to spew what little you do know as fact and people believe it not knowing any better.
you splitting up Android and Windows as if files cant be recognized betweem the two says everything about what you so called know.
are you getting Android mixed up with Apple?
no nigga.
PC gaming exists.
people that want to stream their PC games to their TV exist
its why the Shield was created
