 I'm sure I explained this a long time ago in a previous post?

SETTTINGS->Display & Sound->Advanced Settings->HDMI settings

This brings up the full HDMI menu - you disable Set to Recommended.

Then set Filter by Resolution to 3840x2160, Filter by Refresh Rate to 50Hz

That will then let you Filter by colour space to chose Rec 709 or Rec 2020, in RGB, 444, 422, 420 and various bit depths.

The final mode(s) you can chose after the three filters appear in the bottom entry under HDMI display modes

 I had the same problem.  The remote wouldn't charge. nVidia replaced it under warranty. I received a 2nd gen model as a replacement - which takes user replaceable batteries rather than being rechargeable.

 If you read the topic title you'd know why.

 You have to register for the test images - they are being released just to those who have registered the serial number of their Shield TV to receive them.

 Haven't registered for it, I'm still on official 7.2.1

I'm running the new test image and happy to report color space switching is working perfectly so far!  Tested Kodi, Netflix, Prime Video and Youtube.  Even with 10-bit 2020 4k as the default output, the menus output in 709, as does pretty much everything, except HDR signals, which switch automatically in all apps (except Youtube obviously).  I'm running on an LG C8, so the 2020 / 709 conversion wasn't much of a problem for me anyway, but nice to have things in their native format.

Now if I could just figure out how to get Kodi to play DVD rips nicely on here.  It defaults to 1080 / 59.94 since 1080 even when the movie is supposed to be 23.98.  And HD-DVDs are a mess...having to remove pulldown on all the rips to get them to default to 23.98 instead of 29.97, and I have a 625 ms audio delay instead of 250 ms on everything else.
