I doubt it will work for the Shield as USB Tuner support has yet to be added. The only way currently to use USB tuners is to root & flash a modified kernel. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic...7/#5115617

I bought a Shield TV and so far it's pretty solid for my needs. Given the price it's not a viable solution for everyone, but for me it's great.

It's not a matter of it being disabled on the Shield, there are just no USB tuner drivers included. Not to mention that my comment was not a general statement about Android 7, it was specific to the Shield. However, just because a device is running Android 7 doesn't mean that it will include the necessary drivers for tuners.

Yes, don't know why I said root (other than lack of sleep), meant unlock the bootloader.
There is a 2017 boot_img, I'm assuming it's for 16Gb model (since there is no 2017 Pro) here
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic...hannels/1/ and others have stated it works for them.

Any use a portable hard drive that randomly disconnects?
