Apple TV+ support added for Nvidia SHIELD devices

If you own an Nvidia SHIELD, this could be pretty awesome

Beginning Tuesday, Nvidia SHIELD owners are now able to use the Apple TV app to purchase or rent movies and TV shows, and access the Apple TV+ streaming service.

The Nvidia SHIELD functions as a streaming device based on Google’s Android TV. The unit is able to support 4K HDR content with Dolby Vision, and uses AI-upscaling to allow HD content to be viewed at 4K resolution.

Per Nvidia:

Apple TV channels are also on the Apple TV app, such as AMC+, Paramount+ and Starz, and watch ad-free and on demand, directly on the Apple TV app. Through Family Sharing, up to six family members can share subscriptions to Apple TV channels using their personal Apple ID and password. And you can enjoy personalized and curated recommendations and access your library of movies and shows purchased from Apple.

Additionally, the Apple TV app works with the SHIELD’s Google Assistant so customers can have hands-free control.
