Buy it on Amazon - http://lon.tv/tzl0c (affiliate link) - NVIDIA recently updated their Shield TV to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Users should be careful of the new storage options. See more shield videos: http://lon.tv/shieldtv and subscribe here! http://lon.tv/s
The biggest issue with this update is how Nvidia is handling the external or 'adoptable' storage. Although this new option can dramatically expand the available storage on 16 gigabyte units, I don't like how it transfers all of the user data to the external drive. At the same time it also leaves the apps stored on the internal storage. New apps instal on the external storage. There's no clear way to move both an app and its data back to the internal storage. Nor can you "adopt" additional external storage devices. The good news is that it works with both USB devices and SD cards. But it can be very confusing.
