Owners of Shield TVs rejoice, after much uncertainty Nvidia have began rolling out Oreo for Shield TV.

Quote

Big news for those of you who have NVIDIA Shield TV — which, by the way, is the only Android TV box you should consider right now. The Android 8.0 Oreo update (which brings it up to the latest major version of Android) is available starting today.

The update brings some pretty huge changes including pretty much a total UI overhaul as well as some Apps on the device getting total overhauls and/or improvements as well

Quote

This'll bring along a major update to the user interface. You'll get new sections along the left side of the screen, with your favorite apps (customizable, of course), play next (where what you've been watching and playing recently will appear) and channels (which is what apps are now called, sort of).

 

In addition, Amazon Prime Video will get a major refresh, Plex Media Service is improved, and a whole bunch more.

A few other things NVIDIA says to look out for:

Quote
  • Hold the back button to access to the settings menu from the home screen
  • A higher polling rate for gaming mice for NVIDIA GameStream
  • Improved support for game controllers like the Shield controller, Xbox 360 and DualShock controllers
  • Can connect to Wifi without disconnecting Ethernet
  • Improves Bluetooth re-pairing

It's expected to take around a week for everyone to receive this update.

I have to agree, it's such a freaking good media-player all around! I've never bothered using it for games or anything else, but for Kodi, Netflix and Youtube it's just plain fabulous.

I've read that it might take upto a week for the update to arrive for everyone. Mine hasn't received it yet.

figured. hence why I left "if it's available" in there.

they push them out in waves it seems, at least from what I've seen over the last couple years.

If my LG B7 OLED didn't play absolutely everything I've thrown at it (inc 60GB+ 4k HDR rips) then I'd jump on one of these for sure!!!

Hoping i wont need Tvrepo's app anymore just to get non Gplay store apps to show up.  That in itself would be worth the update

Don't suppose there's a way to force the Shield to update to Oreo, or do I literally have to wait for Nvidia to allow it? Surely all Shields go to the same server for updates...
