Shield Software Experience 7.2.3 is available now for Shield TV owners, both 1st and 2nd generation devices. The update brings three notable software changes to the device. First and foremost, the Nvidia Shield TV now supports Microsoft’s Xbox One Elite controller. That customizable controller is a favorite for some gamers, but it’s worth noting that on the Shield, it will only work when wired to the box itself.

Further, Nvidia is tweaking the HDMI-CEC controls as well. The company doesn’t provide many specifics in the release notes, but says that the changes will “improve customizability.” We’ll update this article once we’ve had a chance to test this out, but personally, I’m hoping this lets users control the volume of their TV over CEC, but the changelog itself specifically notes something power related.

Finally, the last major changelog note is an option to restart the Wi-Fi service. Nvidia says that this is to be used when wireless access points aren’t visible. To access that setting, users can go to Settings > Network > Restart Wi-Fi once this update has been applied.

Nvidia also notes that the NHL app now works with the Shield, and by extension Android TV in general. This was first added back in December, but it’s still a welcome addition for hockey fans.

I wonder what the HDMI-CEC customizability is? I hope they added the ability to change the timing/responsiveness. If I press and hold the volume buttons for just a second on my FireTV remote it spams my receivers volume for a solid 10 seconds.

If you have the XBOX Elite controller usb dongle will it be wireless? Stinks if it won't. Wired isn't good for my needs. Wonder why the dongle won't take.
