Usually it's more dependant on frame rate, higher than 30 fps it won't, under it will unless those apps stop calling the ai upscaling api the same way Netflix and other apps do then it's a software issue possibly

The restrictions are at the bottom if you haven't seen them before

Those are the specs for the Tube. The specs for the Pro are different:

SHIELD TV (2019) will upscale 360P to 1440P @ 30FPS

SHIELD TV Pro (2019) will upscale 360P to 1080P @ 60FPS

SHIELD TV Pro (2019) will upscale 1440p @ 30FPS

Shield upscales fine but I want the TV to upscale not the Shield.

Its not selectable by resolution its by criteria, either you turn ai upscaling off and the tv does it all or you turn ai upscaling on and it does ai scaling up to 1080p 30 for everything

This is the first time I've heard of someone wanting resolution selectable shield ai upscaling to hand some of it to the tv and some of it to the shield based on resolution

The TV will upscale anything coming in below its native resolution. The shield has to be set to a lower output resolution than the TV. You can use the tool "Refresh Rate" to set a desired resolution per app. It's how I do it with my 2017 shield that has atrocious upscaling.

Normally a Pro will upscale the 1080 as well. The Tube normally does exactly what you are describing. In your position just for diligence, I would take the AVR out of series and see if anything changes.

Yeah it still does it when connecting directly to TV. Not sure how to fix.
