with regard to 2019 shield a/i upscaling. for me on ota content and
firewire and hdpvr recorded content, i get message. 'AI enchanced not
active: unsupported content' on both leanback and frontend android, the
ai definitely does not work on 59.94 frameratesand i assume not on
interlaced content either. it works great on 30fps content or less that
is progressive.(something like a transcoded film). it will also work
with one my iptv tuners when the framerate is 30 or under.
but i would still highly recommend the new shield, its faster and to me
smoother than the previous hardware. i too join in that i really enjoy
and appreciate the leanback. the playback is really great and breathes
new lifeand options to mythtv. thank you Peter!
