You do not get that issue if you use the game pad to control the unit or using IR Harmony with FLIRC.

Of note, our unit was a bit annoying with the supplied Bluetooth remote lag (Fairly common, so google that). There is a profile in the Harmony setup for FLIRC Nvidea Shield TV). You do need to use a short USB extension lead too, as the ports are on the rear of the unit, and the lead allows you to have forward facing IR FLIRC receiver. , which allows you to control the unit with an IR remote such as the Harmony (We have a Harmony Touch, and it works great using the USB FLIRC. I'll see if I can pull up my Harmony manager tonight and figure out what device I had the Shield configured as.We got one during the black Friday sale. The only thing I wasn't able to program was "power on" for the Shield as it doesn't truly power off, so whenever I hit the Harmony button to turn everything on, it turns on the receiver and the TV, and then I hit an arrow button to wake the Shield.

Once you have the remote set up, you can run through a code learning step in Flirc to associate up/down/left/right/etc with the correct actions in the Flirc tool. I'd have to look at my setup to see what I did, but I think I picked something like "Fire TV" as the device type in the Harmony manager, and then used a similar profile in the Flirc. You buy it, program it in your PC, then plug it into the USB port on the Shield.įor the Harmony and Flirc combo, you choose what to program into both. It does not have an IR receiver, as far as I'm aware. Just trying to understand what I'm getting myself into before pulling the trigger on the purchase(s). If not, how simple is adding a Flirc? Does that program into the Harmony as a Shield or a Flirc?

I'm seeing conflicting reports on whether the Shield Pro has a built-in IR receiver on the console or not. Without upgrading my remote, that's not much help. I understand that the Shield native remote is Bluetooth.
I would like to have the Shield up and running in an integrated fashion on the day it arrives, and want to make sure that I'm getting things right. I have a Logitech Harmony 650 remote, which is IR only.

I'm going to bite the bullet and go for the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I haven't used it but it seems like a viable option. If you have modern TV and receiver connected to your Shield, I would bet you can get by with just the Shield remote most of the time. Once that is done I expect I will be able to use the Shield remote much more easily by using CEC to simply turn on/off the TV and Receiver as needed. Eventually I plan to get a new TV, and new receiver. I like its built in keyboard and it works as an airmouse which is kind of cool but not super useful. Everything else is done on the Rii remote. Most of the time, I tell the Harmony I want to 'Watch Shield' and it turns on the TV and Receiver and sets them to the right inputs and I can use it to adjust the volume if I want. Neither work well with CEC so I need the more function-rich Harmony to make them work well. I didn't bother to get it working because my TV is positively ancient in terms of home theater devices (Vizio VP505 XVT Plasma from 2010/2011 I think) and my receiver is well into middle age (Onkyo TX-NR616 from 2013). the Shield remote has an IR blaster in it and you can tell the shield that you want to use its remote to run the TV or receiver volume using the shield remote. I *also* have a Harmony One remote that I use to run my TV and receiver.
It works very well because it has an integrated keyboard. I have a Shield TV Pro (2019) and I got this remote to work with it (via USB 2.4ghz dongle it came with).
