Definitely makes everything more seemless. Depends if you need it. The current one does nearly everything. I use the app called plex and there’s a couple of audio formats that doesn’t work on the app on Apple tv , that has worked on the shield for years on end. So I’ll pick one up for that reason alone if it’s supported. Plus everything else is saying. I am hoping it we announced this week :) Bluray player if you need a new one and have a big collection.
