When it comes to streaming devices, NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV, the next generation streaming media player, is at the top of heap. Boasting some of the best hardware of all streaming devices, SHIELD also benefits from being part of Google’s ever-growing ecosystem of media streaming apps.
Of course, figuring out which apps are best for you can take some digging. That’s why we’re here. Whether you’re a pure cord-cutter with a deep-seated dislike for the cable and satellite providers and prefer stand-alone subscription-based services like HBO NOW and SHOWTIME, or you’re happy with your cable and satellite provider and simply want to extend your viewing experience to your SHIELD Android TV we have you covered.
Stand-alone Subscription-based Apps
Sling TV app streams your favorite TV shows
Sling TV App ($10.99 / month)
The Holy Grail, and often most difficult thing for cord-cutters to resolve, is live TV. Sure, over-the-air HD is great for local TV but what about live cable TV? That’s where Sling TV comes in. For $20 a month you can stream everything from HGTV and ESPN to the History Channel and, of course, those ever-present Law and Order: SVU marathons on TNT.
SHOWTIME app lets you watch and on-demand TV
SHOWTIME ($10.99 / month)
Relatively new to the cord-cutting game, SHOWTIME is not new to the movie game. With the SHOWTIME app, cord-cutters can watch whatever is airing live on SHOWTIME or even benefit from on-demand access to every season of every SHOWTIME Original Series. Once downloaded users will benefit from a 30-day free trial. After that the service is $10.99 a month.
Netflix app streams first-rate TV shows
Netflix App (Plans start at $7.99 / month)
First on every cord-cutters list of must-have apps, while Netflix used to be all about watching movies, the California-based company also produces a bevy of first-rate shows like Orange is the New Black. How many times have you heard a friend say about an upcoming movie or TV show, “I’ll just wait until it’s on Netflix?” Now that’s saturation.
HBO NOW app stream all HBO’s original series
HBO NOW App ($14.99 / month)
HBO NOW is the standalone streaming service that gives you all of HBO including every season and every episode of HBO's original series. If that’s not enough, you’ll have access to the biggest and latest movies. A cord-cutter’s dream-come-true, HBO NOW doesn’t require you have a subscription with a participating cable or satellite TV provider.
Hulu app offers the best place to view newer TV content
Hulu App (Plans start at $7.99 / month)
While Netflix boasts a veritable treasure trove of content, the fact remains that much of its content isn’t the freshest. Because of that, Hulu is arguably the best place to view newer content. You may not get to watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert the night it airs, but it’s still pretty funny the next day.
CBS All Access app lets you watch live and on-demand shows
CBS All Access App ($5.99 / month)
While it’s possible to watch your local CBS broadcast in HD with an HD antenna, CBS All Access! adds something extra, the ability to watch more than 6,500 episodes of your favorite CBS shows on-demand. New episodes of current shows will be available on-demand the day after their first airing. Of course if the signal from your HD antenna is spotty you can use CBS All Access! to actually stream your local CBS broadcast. In addition to current shows, CBS All Access! will also let users watch classic shows like Star Trek and I love Lucy ad-free. After a one week free trial CBS All Access! is $5.99 a month.
