- If you're in the market for
an Android TV set-top box,
there's one and only one
box that you should get,
and it's this.

It's this, the Nvidia Shield TV.
How do I know this?
Why do I know this?
Why do I care?
I'm Phil Nickinson, I'm a Modern Dad,
and I've been using Android TV
since its existence.
Actually, since before
it was even Android TV.
That's how old I am, and that's
how long I've been at this.
But first, why Android TV?
Well, you get all of the power of Google
in one little place.
You get search,
you get videos,
you get music,
you get TV,
you get movies,
you get apps,
you get games.
All in one box.
All really easy to use, and by the way,
it looks really cool.
Shield TV actually goes
even further than that.
It's 4K compliant,
it has ethernet,
and it's powered by an
Nvidia Tegra X1 processor,
which is super powerful,
meaning you get console quality gaming.
Again, all in this tiny
little box, it's crazy.
Pair it up with a game pad,
and you almost don't know the difference
between this and one of
those other console games,
and especially if you're like me
and you're not a hardcore gamer,
but you just wanna kill some time
every now and then.
Really good options.
A whole lot of titles out there.
Some of them are Nvidia exclusive,
and they even have their own
monthly subscription service,
so you can get a whole bunch
of games for a lot less.
So, it's also really easy to use.
The remote control only has
three buttons and a D-pad,
and you can control
volume from it as well.
Now, Shield TV isn't
the least expensive
Android TV box out there.
It's $199 dollars for
the 16 gigabyte version,
and that's also not a
lot of storage space,
but it has a USB port in the back,
so you can augment it with a flash drive,
which is really easy and
really inexpensive to do.
One more ace up its sleeve,
the Nvidia Shield TV is the only one
that has access, right
now, to Amazon Video.
Go figure.
So, it's ridiculously powerful,
you can play games on it,
you have all the apps you
could ever possibly want,
and it handles 4K content
better than anything.
That's why, right now,
the Nvidia Shield TV
is the only Android TV box
you should think about buying.

That's it, we'll update this video later
when new stuff comes out.
