Weird, considering you're also europe. Though with firesticks i would really expect that.

Av1 means your tv's 1st external input? If it's hdmi then yes. There are cheaper boxes out there, but if you stream legally those might be troublesome (netflix), the shield ain't.

But overall: "smart" - tvs suck big hairy, sweaty monkey-balls. The digital future ain't a bright one for the critical thinkers and simple ad-haters

No, AV1 being the video codec. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1

My box is actually certified and should play 4k Netflix. Am not subscribed though, bit it does for Amazon Prime Video.

Oooh the codec lol. Dunno if the shield did or do use this one. Never really cared as i really only use one app, and it transcodes on server if need be.
