Seeing if anyone is looking to get rid of one. 2019 model I believe? Goes for $200 new on Amazon.

Edit: Found!

I've heard it's one of, if not the best streaming platform as far as support for things like Dolby Vision. Right now I have an mini-HTPC and Windows 11 kinda sucks for that purpose.

No AV1 support though if memory serves me right. Something to consider as it doesn't have hardware decoders for it considering it's age.

Mine would not work with Hulu, I called Hulu and was told the device is not supported

I wonder what the determining factor is? Version of hulu installed? Version of the nvidia software running?
 
Sounds like either an issue on the Hulu side or a Hulu app permission thing on the Shield side? Or the Hulu app is just shit...I had it years ago and it was garbage TBH for the cost. Ditched everything back then and went Antenna, HDHomeRun, Shield and use PlutTV and Prime on top of any channels I pick up via antenna.

Also, you on WiFi or wired? If Wifi then turn off ipv6 and WiFi roaming on the Shield then reboot and try. And make sure no VPN with Hulu.

Correct. But still the only thing handling all hdr & hd audio at same time. Damn stupid it's up to a 2019 Device to do what can't be done in current hardware.
 
Still looking. Finding more and more that Windows sucks for HTPC usage these days.

Yep, only device I've found that flawlessly plays back every file I have on my Plex server.
 
i have a few do you need just one or a couple? I will have to clear them but i should have 2-4.
 
Hulu on my shield someimes has issues doing the HDCP handshaking with the TV/Reciever/HDMI switch so I get that error. Sometimes I have to turn TV on, then restart shield to get Hulu to work. Only have this issue with Hulu and sometimes its only on some tv shows... Its dumb...

But Ive picked up my Shield Pros when retailers had them on sale for $180...

Havent seen them cheaper than that. Good Luck finding one for cheaper
