I have a ShieldTV plugged into mine and it has been great. You can install a new Launcher to have full control of what you see and it works great. I pretty much just use it for Jellyfin and YouTube now, but in the past have had all of the streaming services at one time or another.

Our shield TV recently stopped allowing Projectivy launcher (the 3rd party one we were using) to be bound to the home button on the remote. I can launch Projectivy and switch to it, but as soon as I hit the home button it's right back to the default launcher.

I assumed this was something nvidia (or google) did to be dicks, but it sounds like that hasn't happened to you, so now I'm less sure.

What 3rd party launcher are you using? Maybe I should try a different one.

I think I am using the wolf launcher? I can’t check right now, but I set it up a long time ago and then forgot about it.

I haven’t had any problems with it, I have both a tube and a shield pro and the white circle button works great on both.

There might also be a button remapper that you can get if you want the Netflix button to be a mute or something.
