I hate to write this negative review since Nvidia must be completely broke and really need the money they get by forcing ads onto my home screen but they're forcing ads onto my Shield. I thought the point of ad based items is they're free, but the Shield TV is a top dollar, tightly price controlled box so you get to pay to have Nvidia get even more money from advertisers. In Russia, you pay ads!

I thought I bought a high end device for a high price. I wanted high performance and customization. Instead I got ads on the home screen, and mediocre Android TV. The only positive thing I can say is it is really fast.

Each new change to the OS brings more unwanted changes and performance slow downs. I didn't buy an apple device so why am I getting the same type of behavior as one!? Also it seems to be less stable upon each update not more which is just annoying. I have to restart the box about once a week at least to get some streaming app to start working again.
