Best Android Apps For SHIELD Android TV Box

Some of your favorite apps are hitting the Android TV box all the time. And with the recent update to the Google Play store, many more are now easily discoverable on your SHIELD Android TV box. Here is our ever-growing list of the must-have apps for NVIDIA SHIELD owners. Whether binging on the last season of Key and Peele or chilling out to one of their curated music lists, YouTube is a must-have app for NVIDIA SHIELD owners. While it can sometimes be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, the fact remains that there isn’t a bigger repository of video content. First on every cord-cutters list of must-have apps, while Netflix used to be all about watching movies, the California-based company also produces a bevy of first-rate shows like Orange is the New Black. How many times have you heard a friend say about an upcoming movie, “I’ll just wait until it’s on Netflix, ” Now that’s saturation.

The Holy Grail, and often most difficult thing for cord-cutters to resolve, is live TV. Sure, over-the-air HD is great for local TV but what about live cable TV, That’s where Sling TV comes in. 20 a month you can stream everything from HGTV and ESPN to the History Channel and, of course, those ever-present Law and Order: SVU marathons on TNT. PlayStation Vue is the latest live TV streaming app to come to SHIELD. Similar to other live TV streaming apps, with PlayStation Vue SHIELD owners can watch movies, sports, and “On Demand programming” from a plethora channels including AMC, Comedy Central, Disney, ESPN, HBO, NFL Network, and SHOWTIME. While Netflix boasts a veritable treasure trove of content, the fact remains that much of its content isn’t the freshest. Because of that Hulu is arguably the best place to view newer content. You may not get to watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert the night it airs, but it’s still pretty funny the next day.

While keeping things in the cloud has surely taken off, the fact remains that a lot of us still have terabytes of media content. From movies and music to TV shows and pictures, Plex for Android lets you keep your content in one place while streaming it to any manner of data on pretty much any device imaginable. Kodi users love the ease with which the SHIELD Android TV box lets users stream all of their personal media to their big-screen TV. You can also download hundreds of community-created add-ons that provide access to popular internet streaming media services like Twitch, Vimeo, Vine, SyFy, NFL, Flickr, and more. The life of the cord-cutter just got a whole lot better thanks to the SHOWTIME app for Android TV. With the SHOWTIME app, cord-cutters can watch whatever is airing live on SHOWTIME or even benefit from on-demand access to every season of every SHOWTIME Original Series.

Because binge watching Dexter is always good for your psyche. In addition to TV shows and movies, the SHOWTIME app also lets users watch sports like Showtime Championship Boxing, 60 Minutes Sports and Inside the NFL. Once downloaded users will benefit from a 30-day free trial. SHOWTIME Anytime is now available on your SHIELD Android TV.

Showtime Anytime supports the following cable and satellite TV providers: AT&T U-verse, Bright House Networks, Cox Communications, DIRECTV, DISH, Optimum, Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS just to name a few.
