It’s worth noting that all this can be browsed using voice commands from within any section of the interface or from inside an app, with the included remote featuring a mic. Plus, Google Chromecast is built-in here, so any Chromecast-supporting mobile app that you want to throw up onto the big screen via the Shield will be supported here. It's a better interface, but altogether too different. There's also now a Discover tab with content recommendations, and new banner promotions for Disney Plus shows. Keep in mind that not every Android app you have on your phone has an Android TV variant, and that browsing the app store for Android TV can be a pain – you always get the feeling you’re not being shown every possible app from a search.Ī 2021 update did bring some new changes, removing app shortcuts from the home screen, and expanding the apps view to get more services onscreen at one time. There’s also media server apps like Plex, a ton of Android TV games to try out (including some exclusive to the Shield and its powerful innards) and, for those happy to navigate the potential pitfalls, a host of retro gaming emulators to tinker with. The Shield TV Pro therefore gives you access to all the major streaming services in their 4K / HDR configurations, from Netflix to Amazon Prime Video to the BBC iPlayer and everything in between. All of this can be re-organised or hidden as you see fit. The top row is an overview of your most regularly-used apps, with the rows that follow offering rich artwork and content recommendation snippets based on what the associated app offers. It offers rows of content, based on your installed apps. It’s pretty much been the vanilla Android TV experience as Google designed it, with some small tweaks (mostly in terms of settings options) specific to the Shield TV Pro’s features.
