The Official NVidia Shield Thread

Where the F is the edit button gone?

Yes you can do GeForce Now, you haven't ordered the game controller though
 
I want to stream from my computer to the shield. I want to play/stream WWE 2K18 to my TV via the Shield.

Yes will work fine, that's Gamestream though not GeForce Now, Now comes from nVidia's servers, not sure the latency on that.

I don't want the controller, I want to use either PS4 or XBOX1 controls.

Ah ok

You bought the right one and everything will work, you can stop worrying and just be excited for it to arrive.
 
:) Great.
I saw a SmartThings dongle as well that helps you control other devices in your house like light bulbs and stuff.

I just use Sonoff devices, which can be controlled by Google Home. I've seen a few YouTube vids where they use a Google Home Mini instead of the Shield for voice commands, but they seem to work together quite well. I have disabled my phone from unlocking with the "Ok Google" command an use the Shield for that... I do have a Mini in my kitchen.
 
Need a recommendation for a USB flash drive for my Shield TV unit. Preferably one that's locally available.
 
Cheers. And that's exactly the space (128GB) I was going for. But I see it's currently out of stock.
Amazon has that same one a bit cheaper for R600 (incl shipping + customs). Would have preferred local but maybe I should just go ahead and import it.
Is there a reason why you are going with a flash drive instead of streaming from your PC with Plex?

I've got a fair few games I had bought when I previously had the 500GB Shield. That unit bit the dust not too long ago (not too uncommon unfortunately for the older Shield models) and I recently bought myself this cheaper/smaller model. I want to load those game up again but I don't have the space with this 16GB version.

Nice!

Just a heads-up. Don't ever lose the power adapter. lol
Nvidia doesn't sell those separately, and we (SA) don't fall under the list of regions where they would be willing to ship you a replacement.
