Today we have a new update for the NVIDIA Shield TV 2017 and 2015, but it seems we will still have to wait a bit for the official 8.1.0 update for the NVIDIA Shield 2019 model. Without a doubt these are the AndroidTV devices with the best and Longest support ever. The NVIDIA Shield Experience 8.0.2 firmware based on the Android TV 9 Pie system includes interesting additions such as the support for the new Shield TV controller with backlight that comes standard with the 2019 models and substantially improves the previous one.
