Strange that it doesn't have the new launcher

Edit: oh, that's an Oreo thing. NM

Remote mic stopped working after this update. Can't search for anything and cannot use assistant

Pretty sure this update broke my Shield. It keeps going to sleep every 4 seconds, and now is completely unresponsive.

So far my experience with assistant is kind of dismal. They advertise it being able to show your Google Photos... Can't get it to work. Hey Google, show me my YouTube Subscriptions just brings up a random video about subscriptions. Lame.

Have you heard any update on the Nvidia Spot? I would like to buy one or two.

Also does the old controller do Always listening mode or just the new one?

Dear Nvidia: $149. 4K HDR. Pixel-like Consumer design, Remote design. Always listening mics on the unit. Android Oreo. Pixel Tv. 1 USB, 32GB Storage. Take my money.

/u/getcashmoney how about that sexy Vudu UI revamp?

Holy shit, they fixed the Amazon app at last! Can't wait to try it.

And that pause disable option on the remote.

God damn I love you Nvidia!

Are there any news about support for dvb-c tuners?

Edit: they answered. No changes in tuner support >:(

akhild

Anyone can provide me the latest Amazon video apk from this update? 😀

ElfGuard

Broke voice search in Crunchyroll for me :/

It's annoying that the hauppage dvb-t usb stick still is not supported in Australia...even though it works in the USA...and it does work when you pay Plex in Australia...

What has changed in the youtube app? I mean it is the same thing as it has been since the last time it updated with the ability to choose between different accounts. Even before the experience update I was able to watch YouTube 360 videos.
