Does the Shield allow for PC gaming on the TV while someone else uses the PC to do other stuff?

Nothing heavy, just surf the web etc.

No, the game launches like normal on the host PC.

Unfortunately no - Your Nvidia card in your pc has a built in video encoder which captures whatever is being outputted by the card. This is how you are able to record videos of games. The Nvidia Gamestream uses this same tech to instead stream the output video to a remote device (Like the Shield TV), plus some extra magic for sound and input controls. The result is the Shield gets whatever is on your monitor and your computer gets any inputs from the Shield.

Do you still have the option to stream PC games to your Shield? I no longer have the app under the Shield Hub row.

Isn't the gamestream a paid sub to use?
