Will this support Google Stadia at launch on November 19th, 2019?

Last I heard was that Stadia would be on Android TV sometime in 2020. I don't know of any official word from Nvidia to say if that would include the Shield TV, where it seems possible they could block it to try to keep people in their own competing service.

can i install xfinity stream app on it or Verizon app?

From the Google Play Store/Apple App Store mobile app on phone/tablet or the website on PC, you may be able to cast live channels and on-demand videos to Chromecast Built-In on Shield TV Pro. I know you can with the Spectrum TV mobile app and Website. If you don't know Spectrum is a cable company just like Xfinity.

does this work with alexa?

I don't own Alexa but according to information on the web it does. I can't post a link here, but make a search and you'll find the information.

What are the dimensions and weight of the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro?

The device measures 3.858 inches high, 6.26 inches wide, and 1.02 inches deep, and it weighs 8.8 oz (250 g).

How much internal storage does the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro have, and can it be expanded?

It has 16GB of internal storage, and it can be expanded using USB flash drives or hard drives.

Do they able to play disc image file store in hardrive?

I understand it may be possible with the KODI app, but I haven't tested since I haven't need to do it. Copy the ISO file to an USB external unit and try playing it from it before copying to the internal HDD of the Shield. ISO is just the container, not a video file. So, you can also rip the video files from the ISO using tools like makemkv.

Does it have UK plug?

The one that comes with the USA version does not comes with any other plug, and is not modular, you need a different transformer.

Manufacturer Contact Info

NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro is a 4K HDR streaming media player with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, AI-enhanced upscaling, and a Tegra X1+ processor, making it a strong fit for home-theater fans who want crisp video and immersive sound.

Recommended For

Home-media library owners who want one TV-connected device to play local files and run a Plex client or host a modest Plex Media Server, with USB storage expansion available.
4K home-theater users who want Dolby Vision video and Dolby Atmos or other supported audio formats passed through to a compatible TV or receiver.
Viewers who regularly watch HD video on a 4K TV and want the Shield’s AI upscaling to improve the appearance of lower-resolution content.
TV gamers who want Android games or GeForce NOW cloud gaming alongside streaming apps, and are comfortable using a separate compatible controller and a strong internet connection for cloud play.

Real-World Use Scenarios

For a living-room 4K TV setup, use SHIELD TV Pro to watch supported streaming apps with HDR video and Dolby Atmos audio; the experience depends on the content and a compatible TV and sound system.
When older 720p or 1080p videos look soft on a 4K TV, enable AI upscaling to add perceived detail; adjust or turn it off if faces or textures look over-sharpened.
For a household with movies and shows stored on a NAS or USB drive, use the SHIELD as a Plex player to browse and watch that library on the TV without relying only on streaming services.
For casual living-room gaming, connect a compatible controller and stream supported games through GeForce NOW or play Android games on the TV; streaming play depends on a suitable internet connection.
For a small home media setup, run Plex Media Server on the SHIELD and attach storage so other household devices can access the library; community reports suggest this is convenient for lighter setups, while some users report sluggishness when the SHIELD also serves as the playback device.
