NVIDIA gives the ageing Shield TV a new lease on life with fresh update

[phillynews215]

• NVIDIA is rolling out a long overdue software update for the Shield TV.
• The hotfix update brings several bug fixes and introduces a new Match Frame Rate feature.

Despite its age, NVIDIA’s Shield TV is still one of the best Android TV streaming devices on the market. However, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to recommend due to inconsistent software support in recent years. It has only received one hotfix update since NVIDIA upgraded it to Shield Experience 9.1.1 in November 2022, but the company is finally rolling out another hotfix to address some common issues.

The second hotfix update (version 33.2.0.252) includes a host of bug fixes and introduces a new beta feature that can match your display’s refresh rate to the content frame rate. According to the official announcement on NVIDIA’s forums (via 9to5Google), the update also fixes issues that resulted in GeForce Now crashing after launch and DRM-related crashes in streaming apps. You can find the full changelog reproduced below:
