Get nividia shield 2019 or Apple TV?

by Stocks-Gambling

Noob here….

I just got the lastest lg c1 and Sonos arc sound system . Hdmi 2.1 I watch a lot of tv and use smartstb off the lg os for iptv.

I’ve been informed these 2 boxes would run my live tv in even better quality due to their upscaling function on older shows on either smarters or tivimate.

My question is should I buy a older 2019 nvidia shield? Or a new 2021 hdmi 2.1 Apple TV. Would I ever neeed hdmi 2.1 just for watching shows?

I feel I should get the shield because the upscaler is better. They both support all the required functions I need like earc , Dolby vision etc.

Is there something I’m missing ? What’s the best box to get. I don’t think nvidia is going to release a new box anytime soon. They are due for a new one though.

Would my nvidia be better to watch Netflix and Disney off of? Or should I use the native lg apps?

Thanks

If you’re using a IPTV service I would get Nvidia shield pro and use The Tivimate player with it.. Nvidia shield Has the Google play store and on top of that you can sideload any app you want, unlike Apple TV which doesn’t allow you to do SHIT..

In my quest for the best streaming device, I've acquired all of them. The Shield Pro is the best right now. I bought the latest ATV 4K when it came out but ended up returning it. It's nice but the Shield is better. I could see no reason to keep it. A new Shield would be nice. We are due but there has been nothing but crickets. I have a C9 and a Denon AVR. With the Shield, Kodi, a couple add ons and a debrid service I get all the movies, TV and sports there is. I don't know why I pay for all the streaming services I have.

The upscaling on the Shield is amazing.

Please God PLEASE GET THE SHIELD!!!

I have two Apple TV boxes and the iptv players available in the Apple store are notoriously unstable and not nearly as customizable as Tivimate or other Android players.

I am sad to rarely use my svelte Apple TVs but the instability is unbearable. Random quitting, sometimey operation, etc.

Btw if you love the Apple TV aerial screensavers there’s an app for that in the Google play store and I think the AppStore that can be side loaded.

I’m in the Apple atmosphere and WISH I had put that money towards a Shield. Good luck!

I have to agree with the consensus. I have an Apple TV and I don’t use it. You can’t side load apps unless you jump through 10,000 hoops, rollover on the floor and hold a bone in your mouth and then run around in circles 1000 times, and then pay Apple a fee. So your stuck with whatever the Apple AppStore has which is quite limited. Any Android based device is much more useful and flexible. And the Shield is the top of the line for Android boxes. Supports all formats you may need and more. Plus, you may be able to get it cheaper than an Apple TV.

By the way, there is no Tivimate for Apple TV. Tivimate is the best app for live TV and only available on Android platforms.
