The shield is a great device, but I’m starting to notice some considerable lag at times.

Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative?

I have an older Apple TV I’m going to try but I’d prefer to stay Android.

Features I’d want are

  • Android TV
  • Netflix and Jellyfin support
  • Powerful / fast
  • Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I’m not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

    Which Shield device do you have?

    You could get great improvements replacing the internal mechanical hard drive for a SSD.

    Did it for mine, and the speed improvement is very noticeable. Specially when updating or rebooting the device.

    I used this guide, and I’m still seeding the drive image torrent: https://xdaforums.com/t/nvidia-shield-tv-ssd-done.3402580/
