2020-02-28	A *****	Can't install on nvidia shield 2019 (tubular) and it no longer works correctly on 2015 shield due to screen split corruption after recent OS shield upgrade. Please fix.

2018-05-29	A *****	With the Oreo (Shield Experience 7) update, pause no longer works correctly. When resuming after pause, although sound continues, the picture is still frozen. Only workaround is to skip back a few seconds and then play again. Not a process that instils feelings of confidence in the platform for the rest of the family!

2017-04-22	A *****	re: Paul G , it started working again after 24 hours. A network error/change from BBC I assume. Works very nicely with the Shield remote. Now, Nvidia, if you'd make a compatible version of other British TV apps (All 4 / ITV Player etc) it would be wonderful since the app makers themselves seem unwilling to add Android TV compatibility!

2016-09-29	A *****	This used to be utter garbage. But the BBC seem to of changed to an adaptive algorithm so now the quality you get is good. I haven't done a true A B test but it is at least 90% of the quality the samsung tv does nativley. I was only watching cartoons. IE the really negative reviews are out of date (they were bang on at the time though)

2016-07-29	A *****	Is there any way to remove this thing? I tried disabling it but the launch icons remain on the home screen. I don't pay for a TV license so ideally I don't want this thing which I never use visible on my screen in case TV licensing come round and try to fine me for having it...

2016-06-18	A *****	Rubbish, it doesn't even have an HD option... And whilst we're at it, the Shield is lacking all the major catch up apps, e.g. All4, ItvPlayer, Demand5 (My5) etc, Nvidia Shield TV the best streaming box? I don't think so.

2016-02-20	A *****	Very unreliable and temperamental. Makes the box pretty useless without getting onto iPlayer
