<div dir="auto">Thank you. I have been eyeing one lately since I
see them on samjhe a lot. Curious - if 4K id only via
streamed content, is there any major tipping points to Shield

<p>It's plugged into the HDMI port of a UHD Samsung 4K
TV. I have it networked to the mythtv-backend via GBe
cable. But all the content I have access to for
Mythtv is 1080i/720p. I can stream 4K content from a
number of sources but all are thru a service like
Prime Video, etc. I went this way because of cost and
video quality. It's a perfect frontend for
Mythtv-frontend, Kodi, Sling, ESPN, Prime Video.</p>

<p> As an added benefit it's a very good gaming
platform, but that's based on an old guys opinion who
rarely games. My son things it's pretty good, but he's
a slave to the PC gaming experience.</p>

I have been using a fire stick 4K for a few weeks now and it has
worked perfectly, but MythTV cannot play 4K content at this time. I
don't have any 4K recordings anyway. I have not tried digital audio
from MythTV on the fire stick 4K.<br>
