It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

I sold mine due to video stuttering that I couldn’t fix, I bought fire cube instead.

They fixed that on the latest models. They actually got a LOT better over time after multiple updates.

I have the tube, so it's not even the pro, and it plays everything... Even crazy huge 4k streams.

Did they fix it though? I can see a post from 6 months ago complaining about stuttering…

Aren’t they releasing a new shield anyway?

Bleh, good luck with all the advertisers and shitty interface.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What ads? I don’t notice any really. I think the interface is great, I’ve got my pinned apps straight away on the home screen, everything loads instantly and I’ve got dedicated buttons on the remote for Netflix and Disney+, don’t need anything else and I use my laptop for Plex server.

Yeh. Dedicated buttons suck farts.
