Why Choosing the Right Streaming Device Matters
Think about your life a year from now. One of these devices is going to give you a hard time and have you online every other day looking at videos and reading endless blogs on how to fix the buffering and lagging. While the other one, will just work. The one that will just work gives you access to it all and easily streamings 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision links, how?
Well, if you have 1GB of internet the premium streaming device when plug in to the ethernet will give you the whole gigabyte.
See, from what I learned is that one of these streaming devices only has 100Mbps, while the other performances in 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. I have 300Mbps when using a renter router, so I was only getting the 100Mbps when I plug in the ethernet cable. And trust me, for the greatest performance on that device you want the ethernet cable plugged into these streaming devices directly using a CAT 6 ethernet cable.
When using my own router I bought, my speeds for the ethernet plug in went up to 480Mbps. On the device its showing me I can get the full 1000Mbps if I had that plan with my internet provider. Which I don’t, I’m not even sure what my speed are supposed to be really but I do plan to upgrade them to 1000Mbps.
WiFi is good and cool but it sucks when traveling and even worst for WiFi 5, 6, 6E, and 7 never traveling through the walls. Only 2.4GHz travels the furthest and through walls.
But remember also, don’t use the router your internet provider is renting to you, it terrible. Go ahead and check out this blog for the greatest internet router in the world, best part it’s under $200 and you can match a travel router with it to access your home internet anywhere in the world.
Yes, we are those kind of tech people. Thinking ahead of it all. But please don’t confuse this with future proofing, I don’t believe in that right now. When you buy something that is premium you are future proofed.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro Features and Advantages
I want to first let you know, every single Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 we get our hands on is the ultimate solution to your streaming problems. A Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 customized by us works forlessy with no buffering and lagging as long as you plug in your ethernet cable. This way you have a luxury experience with the Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro you pick up from us.
The issue that can come with buffering and lagging on the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 is all from Android 11 and bad internet from your provider. So please, make sure you have at least 100Mbps and don’t use WiFi. If you have to use WiFi think of WiFi 2.4GHz. Why? Because WiFi 5, doesn’t travel through walls to well and the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 doesn’t work with WiFi 6.
We flashed the system and downgraded it back to Android 9 v8.2.1. This is part of our system so it’s a habit. On top of that, there is no better software system than the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 running Android 9 v8.2.1.
Let’s get into why this is the BEST software system.
Control, we have complete control over the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. We can block popups asking me to update to Android 11 and no, it will not automatically do it. I have to go into the system and block it.
We can completely customize the Home Screen, so if I want no ads, there will be no ads. As shown in the photo to your right. We control everything the device does. Nothing automatically updates without me going into settings and updating it.
The best part is that you can remap buttons to where you want them to go. With our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro, the Netflix button is always remapped to our Elite System.
When it comes to the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019, you completely control the device. You don’t need to be signed in but for safety, you should be. I say that and I never sign into my device myself because everything is just sideloaded to test out. On top of that, we load our Elite System which is a customized launcher hosting 55 APKs. These 55 APKs give anyone access to all paid TV entertainment for free worldwide.
You can go into settings and turn on the Developers Option on. You can speed up the device to respond as quickly as you snap your fingers. Turn on file transfer over the Network, and even push new Apps or APKs onto the expanded storage to leave room on the device itself.
The Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 is running NVIDIA® Tegra® X1+ processor with 3GB RAM with 64-bit hardware plus operating system and 16GB of storage with the ability to expand. You can use the Nvidia Shield Pro as a Plex Server, hooking it up to an SSD or NAS Drive. The Nvidia Shield Pro will play the middle man and yes, you need a computer to complete the Plex Server setup at first. The Nvidia Shield Pro has AI Upscaling for your older videos, playing them in higher quality.
I haven’t even gotten to Hyperspin and RetroArch for gaming. We offer 3 ways of Gaming, the first is an all-in-one APK with the Emulators and ROMs. The second is through Kodi with Arcarde, also an all-in-one, and the third is for you to download 200GB of ROM with Emulators and have it run through Hyperspin or RetroArch. The imagination is everything when you have such a powerful device in hand.
I highly recommend if you are going to push this device to the max, plug in that ethernet cable. It’s a lifesaver. With the APK device cleaner we have on our Elite System buffering and lagging is never an issue. No VPN is needed, one is built-in with the Adguard I love so much. If you do use your own VPN, remember the Adguard will be turned off and you have to turn it back on but it will then turn off your VPN.
Fire TV Cube Features and Limitations
This is my biggest issue with all Amazon Fire streaming devices an that is they run on a 32-bit operating system. Do you understand that the 32-bit OS come out back in the 1980s, that is 40 years old. Meaning they are designing streaming devices to buffer and fail, yes even the Fire TV Cube 3. When you are trying to stream 4K, HDR, or Dolby Vision, these take tons of gigabytes to process. Well, on the 32-bit OS, it can’t process that much all at once, just 16 gigabyte at a time. So it ends up kicking back
Let us talk about the Amazon Fire TV Cube 3. Not I’m not going to totally trash this streaming device, it is 100 times better than a Firestick but it still has its problem. I have no clue what FireOS system they are on at the moment, something like FireOS7. The key point is that you can’t downgrade the system.
At one point in time, you could block updates from Amazon but not anymore, all Amazon streaming devices and TVs will update automatically. They are letting you know, they control that device, not YOU.
It reminds me of the poster, Uncle Sam Wants You. APPLE doesn’t even hold a tight grip on their streaming devices like that. Due to all the upgrades that have blocked about 25% of the APKs we use in our Elite System. That’s a lot, I’m not even sure how they map the APKs to block them to explain Launcher Manager is completely blacked out but not Wolf Launcher. From there I tried to add on my mod version of Plex and it doesn’t work. I’m not sure if Plex is in the Amazon App Store or not.
You can no longer remap the buttons on the remote. Every way I could think of or even find on remapping has been blocked 100% in 2024. Yet, these YouTubers and bloggers keep telling you to buy these trash can streaming devices.
Why?
Well, when you click on their link, they get a kickback of the sale. To me, the Amazon Devices are JUNK and I will not be telling anyone to order them for a 3% kickback. You are going to get my honest option on the Amazon Fire TV Cube 3 and it’s not going to be pretty I tell you that right now.
Did I destroy that whole device in one paragraph? It looks like I did. I have nothing against Amazon streaming device but I would love for people to stop lying to you all saying an Amazon device beats out NVIDIA. That is a joke in the worst way, and all for a 3% kick back make it worst. Like I said before, if you are going to just do what these YouTubers say, you better make certain they are getting PHENOMENAL RESULTS.
And you know what, I bet they are not. Will we here at D3vicx one day join YouTube full-time? I wish but I’ve already gotten a strike for trying to share 200GB of Free ROM for Hyperspin. I can only imagine what they would do if I showed you 65 APKs on my Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro.
Common Streaming Problems: Buffering, Lag, and Compatibility Issues
When you look up the common issues with any streaming device on the market people will say buffering and lagging are the top issues. For some streaming device like the budget-friendly ones, I can see why this happened. They are designed that way. What? Yep, they are designed to pull you in with their price, you make them a part of your daily life and they fail on your on purpose.
The point is to get you hooked on their system and how cheap they are when you replace it with the latest updated one out on the market. This is a sells tick trick and it works are good on people.
They get a ton of people online to buy by using social media platforms and giving those creators a kickback on the product. This way, they are promoting you trash can devices and yet in return getting some money from Amazon. Or how they like to say it, you are helping their channel. It’s funny because I believe these Creators are not using the product they are pushing you to buy on a full time basic or even at all.
When it comes to a streaming device, all these YouTube Creators really use a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 as their main streaming device. Are they going to tell you this, no because they get no kickback from it.
Now, please know, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 comes with it’s own problems as well and that is the Android 11 software system. It’s complete trash and yet really easy to take off of the streaming device. Just flash the system and downgrade back to Android 9 version 8.2.1. You can get these files off of the NVIDIA.com easily.
Once all of these is done, the buffering and lagging goes away on the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. Oh yes, remember to plug in that ethernet cable for the best streaming experience possible and use a CAT 6 ethernet cable.
Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 vs. Fire TV Cube 3: Performance in 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision
No Ad Home Screen
What is the number one problem you hear about with streaming devices? Think about it really fast, give up yet?
Buffering, is the number one issue with streaming devices and do you know why?
Cheapness and bad software are the reasons why. So we all know the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 has a fan. This fan helps cool off the components inside the device keeping them from warping.
Looks like the Fire TV Cube 3 doesn’t have a fan. But it has enough space for better ventilation, the only problem is the components can still warp causing buffering.
Below we are going to go into more details you need to know about both devices before you buy. I will say this to you, “When you buy cheap you buy twice.” Stay focused on which device solves your streaming problem, not the price. You could end up paying double the amount if you had just bought the premium problem solves first.

Price Comparison: Value for Money in 2025
Home Screen to Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro
Think about this, you spend $40 dollars and in less then 6 to 8 months later you spend another $40 on the same streaming device. You wake up and the last 4 years you have spend this same $80 or more a year replacing the same budget-friendly device. Sometimes, you just upgraded but in the end, it was still the same streaming device causing you the same issues.
That $80 times 4 is $320 plus dollars, this is not including all the time you wasted online looking up how to fix these issues that were never fixed. That time could have added up to 96 hours, 4 days of your life wasted on dealing with that budget-friendly streaming device you no longer own because it’s in the trash.
When you start off with the premium streaming device, yes up front it could cost $150 to $200. But you are good to go for the next 3 to 5 years or even longer depending on the streaming device and how well you take care of it.
With a sideloaded premium streaming device, you are saving $10,000 a year in paid TV entertainment. You are not even paying a 10th of the price for the value of the sideloaded premium streaming device. These is where you get more bang for your buck and then end up saving you in the long run. So, most times buying premium is well worth it rather then the cheap. And if you don’t believe me, think of the saying, when you buy cheap you buy twice and now sometimes even up to 4 to 5 times.
Which is Future Proofing Streaming Device
I don’t believe in future proofing at all. This is something that will may you worry about if something will happened or not. When it comes to technology future proofing is very expensive. The Netgear (RS700S) Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router with WiFi 7, that router started at $799 and is now $599.
The problem is, if WiFi 6 and 6E won’t leave a room how short is WiFi 7? You are better off just getting 1GB of internet speed and plugging in your ethernet cable using a CAT 6 to the Flint 2 router or Plume Pods. Only look to the future if your looking to change the world and your own life for the better. Not to worry about something, the hope brings incredible things while worry doesn’t.
User Experiences: What Reviews Say About Each Device
Final Verdict: Nvidia Shield TV Pro or Fire TV Cube 3?
If you want a better experience go for the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. In 2025 no one should be buying a Fire TV Cube 3, it’s only $40 to $60 dollars cheaper. But the OS is what is going to make the biggest difference and you will notice it if you ever get them side by side. Again the Fire TV Cube 3 is running on a 32-bit OS which is completely out dated.
