My wife LOVES Bravo. It's her favorite network to watch while browsing on her phone.

this one game podcast I listen to mentioned the other day that it was weird none of the Chinese Nintendo games that were released on the Shield have been leaked. Is that true, or are they just not looking in the right places?

Standalone android tv box, that dominates that market. Can basically do anything your android phone can do plus most any htpc feature


As for the Nintendo games, I don’t know. Loading emulators is so easy I don’t think there is much demand. Now if you meant hacked Nintendo switch games....

basically what nintendo looked at and designed a Switch around.
Quote:
Jun 17, 2019 - As we all know, the Nintendo Switch and Nvidia Shield TV share the same chipset – the Tegra X1. Nvidia leveraged its knowledge of mobile chipsets to held Nintendo create its hybrid console, and as a result, hasn't refreshed its own Shield line in what feels like forever.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/rumour_new_nvidia_shield_tv_could_share_the_same_chipset_as_the_upgraded_switch

as far as the Nintendo games:
Quote:
Chinese version
Nvidia chose to cooperate with iQiyi, a video content operator in the Chinese mainland, to sell the Chinese version of the SHIELD TV.[12]

The Chinese version SHIELD TV has exactly the same hardware as 16 GB version, but integrates special system firmware (NVIDIA give out ROMS)[13]. There is no Play Store, but iQiyi's own app store. In particular, it provides several Nintendo transplant games:

新超级马力欧兄弟 New Super Mario Bros. Wii
超级马力欧银河 Super Mario Galaxy
塞尔达传说:黄昏公主 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
击拳热斗!! Punch-Out!!
森喜刚归来 Donkey Kong Country Returns
It's said that these games run on SHIELD TV as GameCube/Wii emulator.[14]

Not sure if anyone here uses PS Vue:



I've been using it for three years. I guess I will get Youtube TV now, but I don't like the channel lineup quite as much.



I'm thinking about Hulu Live. Appears to be the same channel lineup as PSVue. Looks like I can get my Celtics.

I wasn't aware this was offered as a separate subscription from Amazon Prime Video channels, thanks for the heads up.

We've been using YouTube TV for the past month after being on Playstation Vue for the past three years. I think I like it more than the Vue, but I'm not a huge fan of the guide.

hey M_D (or anyone else using YoutubeTV)... have you had problems with video not loading after commercial breaks? i'm watching through Roku, and this happens quite often to me. the only fix that i'm aware of is to exit the entire app, then reload the video from where i left off... the best part is it replays the same 5 commercials i just sat through.

Ran into that exact issue last night. Never had that problem with our Smart TV though.

I'm just a few days in but no loading issues. I use Roku 2 on all my tvs except one that has Roku built in.
