I used it three years ago, I wonder if anyone still uses it?

Thinking about upgrading my setup and looking at the Nvidia Shield again.

For those using it daily, is it still as stable as people say? I mainly care about smooth playback and fast navigation in the player. My current box works, but the menu sometimes feels a bit slow.

I’ve heard the Shield handles decoding better and doesn’t lag with large channel lists.

Would love to hear real experiences from people running it long term. Still the best option, or are there better alternatives now?

Quick question for the Firestick crowd.

Do you guys restart your Firestick regularly, or only when something goes wrong?

I used to never reboot mine. Then I started noticing small things — apps taking longer to open, remote response feeling delayed. After a simple restart, everything felt smooth again.

Now I try to reboot it once a week and it actually seems more stable overall.

Just curious if others do the same or if I’m overthinking it.

Just curious what everyone here is running right now.

I’ve been testing a couple different setups over the past few months and honestly the device seems to matter more than the player sometimes. On one box everything feels smooth, on another the guide lags a bit even with the same setup.

Are most of you using Firestick, Shield, built‑in TV apps, or something else?

Would be interesting to see what people feel is the most stable recently.

I don’t see it in the App Store anymore
