So i got the Shield TV and it come with $30 google play credit. What are some good games/apps that work with the controller that i should get?

Thanks

Does anybody have the link to the image that Shield TV uses for its homescreen?

I'm having a hard time finding any reviews of these things, and I'm really interested in hearing how the live TV integration works on Android TV and how similar it is to Primetime on Google TV

Questions:

• How does live TV work on Android TV? Is it like Primetime from the Google TV boxes, where live tv shows are categorized? Can you exclude cable channels? Does it give you its own cable guide replacement? Or do you just use your cable box as normal?
• What is the performance like?
• Does the Android TV interface scale well to a 4k screen?

I was trying to cast HBO Go to watch Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley last night and there were all sorts of problems. Hitting play was not working right from my android phone. However when my roommate casted HBO from his iPhone it worked fine. Anyone else have this issue?

Should be good to go if I bring a US to UK plug adaptor right?

I noticed that Nvidia's press release said that the Shield TV is available in Canada and the US now.

I can't find it anywhere in Canada; anyone know if it's going to come to bestbuy/amazon soon?

The d-pad on my controller squeaks. I can move it around a little to stop the squeaking, but it eventually comes back. Anyone else have this issue?

1. This thing is snappy, very fast, very fluid
2. No Netflix, yes I know it's supported but it will not allow you to install online or show up in the store. I assume this will be fixed soon but it's still annoying.
3. Live Channels is amazing. I have a HDHomeRun Prime (TV Tuner) and this acts like the original Google TV. It has my local channels playing and overlays the Android TV menu over that. The channel guide is slick too. Its unintuitive to get it going, if you open the live channels app it does nothing. You need to install the HDHomeRun app first, then open live channels.
4. No HBO Go, another annoyance. FireTv/Stick has it and it's nice to browse through. Casting it works fine and is fast.
5. Plex is very slick, plays back very well.
6. Voice recognition is great, haven't messed with it too much.

My main use case is live tv, Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu, and sometimes Sling TV (for NBA playoffs). It'll be complete when it can do HBO Go. There is a lack of apps but besides the ones I listed I don't do much on my TV so this is the ideal solution for me.

I'll answer any questions people have.

Can you pair the fire stick remote with the shield? That would he nice instead of spending 50 freaking dollars on a remote lol. Or any other ones we can pair with?

I just installed the preview on my Nexus Player, and there are two additions that make the experience much much better:

1. Pairing with Bluetooth headphones: Exactly what it sounds like. Big deal when wifey's asleep.

2. External storage: Android M has the capability of formatting external storage as 'internal' for practical purposes. Got a Kingston 64GB USB 3.0 drive and BAM! I've increased the available storage space by 1200%. No longer do I need to worry about installing Asphalt 8 or the Game of Thrones games. This is a game changer!

CONFIRMED! Hardware Decoder does work in Android M!

I just installed the Android M Dev Preview on my Nexus Player, and I am able to hardware decode mpeg2 streams.

I have an HDHR3-US running through InstaTV-Pro with the Hardware - Type B Decoder. This did not work in Lollipop, but does work in M! The HDHomerun View app did not work with the older HDHomerun device, but InstaTV does.

I would be happy to answer any questions so AMA!
