I have an interesting question. I read that the new Android version allows you to use all storage devices to install apps. I think it was 5.1 rather than Android 6.0, but I can't remember.

So, is it possible to connect say, a 2TB+ USB hard drive, and install apps and put files from my bluray disks for playback on the Shield?

Thanks.

rips yes, don't know about apps.

Thanks Dan, I suppose I will have to look thus up. Avoiding $100 for the Pro is desirable.

OK, Android 6 supports this, but the Shield TV apparently let's you offload applications to external storage. I don't know if this is allowed on a HDD though, and how good it would work. The really should have done a Shield Media with bluray drive and wide USB TV PVR support with internal slots to for them as an optional upgrade. Basically it would have been nearly the same price, and you buy the pieces and optional bluray/UHD bluray player software if you want. Here is a picture, you make the case a few centimeters thicker.
